...and we see that we're going to be extremely disappointed, not to say outraged, by what obama will and, more to the point, won't do.
he was always a rorschach candidate, and never very progressive. the fisa vote told you all you needed to know during the campaign. and now, we are going to see him dismiss the very issues that drew him support.
remember when we took such heart from his statement that if crimes were committed they ought to be investigated? don't bet the rent on that one. or on closing guantanamo. or on green energy (unless you include his support of nuclear and clean-coal technologies). and now we see that he is going along with whatever the conventional washington belief system is on the middle east.
lower your expectations while there's still time.
