I have to say I'm enjoying the convoluted ways in which certain people are attempting to bring fanatical Obama supporters to task.
I was going to respond to Mr. Sane, but then I realized that I'm probably not an Obama "disciple" even though I voted for him. I then wondered if such disciples actually exist, given the overly simplistic naivete attributed to them. Then, assuming that they do exist, I wondered whether they constitute a significant enough portion of the American populace to warrant the desperate attempts by folks like Mr. Sane to hold them accountable for every discrepancy between Obama the president from Obama the candidate.
Clearly, many of the folks like Mr. Sane (I don't know specifically about him/her) don't actually have problems with the things Obama is doing, because they didn't seem to speak up while the last president was doing them.
And it can't be that a president breaking campaign promises is that interesting: is anyone really surprised when it happens?
So what is the deal with this psychological need to take mythical Obama disciples to task?
I guess in other words: Who fucking cares?
