If there are five more disgruntled "progressives" out there than the ones quoted in this article I'd be surprised, and if they're out there, they're idiots. This sounds totally like the punditry giving themselves something to do. Who did you think he would pick for his cabinet, Arianna Huffington? He'd like to govern the country competently. Wouldn't that be nice, disgruntled progressives?
Gosh, after three weeks of peace and calm and paying attention to other things, I can feel that old irritation edging back, but this time it's about what I'm reading in Salon, the place I always felt was expressing MY side. I refuse to feel irritated. I'm just going to skip over these "you call this CHANGE??" articles, and remind myself that it's a good world if that's all the politicos have to carp about.
