Glenn, thank you for posts. I have been trying to make the same argument, though not as eloquently or succinctly as you have, to my fellow Obama supporters. As a background, for the first time in my life I gave money and volunteered to a campaign so I won't take back seat to anyone. However, my position is as follows, I work hard to get Obama elected but as soon as he got elected I took a defensive position in which I will stay until and unless he shows me otherwise and deliver on his promises. And even then my question will continue to be "what have you done for me lately?"
Glenn, keep up the good work. I've been passing around your posts to my friends in the hope of opening a discussion about how to engage this new administration.
