I guess the hope we were asked to keep was the hope of electing Democrats over Republicans. This is just the first disappointment, there are many more to come. A whole slew of closet and open neo-cons are getting ready to "serve" as Obama's national security team. Gitmo may be closed, but a whole new system is being devised to keep Gitmo alive here in the mainland. Iraq war may recede slowly, but will not go away. More civilians in Afganistan will have to get ready to die. If HRC becomes SOS she will get a chance to keep her promise to nuke Iran. Well, at least we will not have any partisan rancor. Keep hope alive, keep hope alive, and elect more Democrats to do the same old thing. Change has come in the form of who is going to do the same old thing.
