Let me try:
"The mythology has emerged somehow that we ran this flawless campaign, I never made a mistake, that we were master communicators, everything worked in lockstep," Obama is quoted saying. "That's not how I look at stuff, because I remember what the campaign was like. And it was just as messy and just as difficult. And there were all sorts of moments when our supporters lost hope, and it looked like we weren't going to win. And we're going through that same period here."
Another regret expressed by the president was his failure to communicate effectively. Obama said he and his team took "perverse pride" in focusing only on policy while ignoring the sales pitch to the public.

Ah yes, you can spin it several ways, which is the sales pitch to the public. And too a large degree is the major problem with our politicians aka Snake Oil Salesmen and their crowd warmers in the Media.
Personally I would prefer a Joe Friday 'All we want are the facts' type instead of the Billy Mays types that sell Miracle Putty gimmicks which rarely live up to expectations.

We agree 
and I am not holding my breath on that possibility.
