Vote the Fantasy, Eat the Excrement
There was never any objective, factual basis for believing that President Obamawould be any other way than what we are seeing. Apparently, a large chunk of Obama's voting base consisted of people who invented some sort of counterfactual, reality-immune fantasy in their head and then voted for that fantasy when ticking "Obama" on their ballots. I'm sure there are plenty of valid criticisms to be made of President Obama, but the fact that the real President Obama doesn't correspond to naive, irrational voters' fantasies doesn't strike me as one of them. -- The Disillusioned Center-Left's Case Against Obama: He's Just Not Living Up To All That Stuff We Made Up About Him In Our Heads « Rhymes With Cars & Girls
