Please connect the dots

Nothing is ever as advertised. Bill Clinton was both more and less than Democrats - and many Republicans - thought he would be. The same was true for Al Gore. The same has been true for George W. Bush. The same would even have been true for Hillary Clinton had she been the nominee (as difficult as may be for my partisan disposition to admit).

The same is true for Barack Obama. Give the man the presidency and give it a year - two on the outside - and the mans more ardent supporters are going to be his most ardent critics, all the more so as for so many of them this is the first time in their lives they have been inspired to vote.

This is still politics and in politics disappointment is not a bug, it's a feature.
