My least favorite people (at this second) are people who feel Obama “let them down” or “didn’t deliver on his promise.” Guys, “HOPE” was a one syllable slogan, a logo even, to get a corporate backed, big D Democrat elected in a cash contest. People like you are THE SAME THING as the “undecided” Republican caucus voters in Iowa being interviewed now and saying they’re not sure which candidate’s message (i.e. lies) resonates most with them.
I didn’t vote for Obama in 2008 (I CERTAINLY didn’t vote for McCain) but I’ll vote for him next year. The 2 party system is garbage and will ruin our country if we don’t amend it to at the very least include run-off elections, but the Republican party is composed almost exclusively of actual psychos and morons, while the Democratic party is maybe 65% psycho/moron. So even if you view it as biting the bullet and choosing the lesser of two evils, the Democratic party (right now, in 2011) is measurably “less evil.” (See health care, education, civil rights, etc.) Step out of your current fantasy chamber and enter another where the House Republicans who embarrassed the nation with their manufactured debt crisis are tasked with responding to a 9/11-level nightmare. Imagine too that one of them now occupies the Oval Office. Soak that up for a minute.
Obama let you down? Blow it out your ass. He’s a multi-millionaire career politician who doesn’t know you exist, you sissy, but he might be the reason your grandkids have health insurance.
