[b][u]WTF[/u]?[/b] I voted for the guy on the off chance he might have been a reformer. I voted for him in the primary because I don’t like Hilary — don’t trust her, definitely don’t trust her, [i]know[/i] that I don’t trust her. I honestly don’t know who he really is (like many, yourself included, Mistrad); I think that has to come through hindsight and his record as President.
I already [i]said[/i], I vote for the least evil among bad, or unreliable choices! That makes me somehow a cheerleader and personal psychic for the candidate I deem least evil??
…calmed down now… I had hoped, and felt I had decent reason to think, that he would be someone who with his community organizer background, had a sense of what things were like for the Regular Joe on the street, understood the reality of what they were facing, and would legislate to protect those people. I expected consumer protections, I expected banking reform, I expected we’d get the he!! out of Iraq and Guantanamo and certainly never abide another Abu Ghraib, I figured the US wouldn’t rush headlong into a nuclear confrontation with Iran.
I also hoped, though I knew enough not to count on it, that if [i]anyone[/i] were going to take on Big Industry, Big Pharma, Big Insurance, Big Oil, it would be him. I’m disappointed so far, but he’s only just into his 4 years, and there’s a chance there may be an additional 4 years, and maybe, just [i][b]maybe[/b][/i] (because if not, we are screwed) he may have enough time and independence somehow to correct the last disastrous 8 years, the last leading-up-to-disastrous 30 years…..
You guys really need to quit asking me what I really think.
