re: #299 palomino

Me too. I hear these complaints a lot: He didn’t immediately get us out of the two wars; we don’t have gay marriage yet; no single payer. But the fact is he never promised any of those things.

Exactly. There’s an Obama Derangement Syndrome from the left, where Obama was saying one thing, and the far left was hearing five more unbelievably optimistic things that he never said.

As for me, I got EXACTLY the President I expected in Obama. A moderate Democrat who isn’t going to revolutionize anything, but who’s doing a good job in the midst of shitstorm after shitstorm.
