The funny thing is, if this thread were about a sitting republican president who had gone back on his campaign promises it would be full of faux-conservatives making excuses for their commander in chief and questioning the patriotism of the heathen liberals who dared question their fearless leader.
See: nearly every thread in politics during the Bush II years.
I mean shit: Some folks still can't admit that the "Mission Accomplished" photo op was a bad idea. Or that the government's response to Katrina was incompetent. Or that the war in Iraq was a horrible idea.
Over the previous 8 years I had gotten used to the mindless sycophantism, and in some respects it still exists with some Obama supporters. On the other hand, I think the silence in this thread is refreshing, because I know people who are disappointed that Obama doesn't seem to be coming through and I'm glad to see that the idea that we need to defend our president when we disagree with him is currently not in style.
I think you and aladdin just need hugs: you clearly have so much emotionally invested in proving Obama supporters wrong. To me it just seems like such a ridiculous stand to make. Seriously, are you trying to imply that Obama supporters would have been happier and/or less regretful if they had voted McCain? Because that's just dumb.
