In Barack we trust?

Obama campaigned on his personality and judgment and won. Now, like it or not, he isn't beholden to anyone.

    Right about that Dave

    Dave,

    I've been following your writing for some time now and, in the beginning, I thought you, of all people, could/would see the president-select for what he was/is. Alas, you too, drank the Kool-Aid and now that he's in, I'd venture a guess that he's no longer calling you in response to ANYTHING you've written about him as he used to do. And guess what? He won't. Because he doesn't have to - anymore. He sold you and all other progressives a huge bill of goods and you, like all the others, bought the whole kit and kaboodle - hook, line and sinker. Now, all any of you can do is sit back, relax and make excuses for why, like the MSM, you were not more vigilant, more probing and less needy of his kind of "Change."

    Go back to the Dave Sirota I used to know and love. We'll all be better for it.
