Oh my God people, listen to yourselves!

"You pick your issue of the day, and no one's happy because he hasn't tackled that one individual issue with fervor," says fish biologist Tracii Hickman of Walla Walla, Wash., an Obama voter...

She was so inspired by his election that she wrote in a newspaper commentary on inauguration eve last year: "I am optimistic that the massive problems facing our nation will be addressed and that we will come out on the other side of this huge mess a better people and country."...

"Suddenly we were talking about very important social issues that have been off the agenda for years. It was so exciting, so refreshing, so inspiring," Sullivan says...

"I felt such a surge of hope," Hartz says. "I was just so convinced all these great things were going to happen."...

...Hartz still believes in the need for deep, fundamental change. But she also believes it will happen only through grassroots movements, not through one leader, however charismatic.

I just had a flashback to living in the U.S. I remember talking to people about politics- U.S. politics, not Venezuelan politics or Czech politics- and how the 'opinions' which were voiced were often just so unnutterably stupid and devoid of reason. Even college students would come out with drivel. 'Hartz still believes in the need for deep, fundamental change'- really? And what exactly will change? Who will change what into what? What exactly the fuck are you talking about?

Because I'm difficult that way, I would often ask people who launched one of these flabby pieces of shit to be specific. What exactly do you want to change? What exactly are the 'disasters' your political opponents have brought about? I got very unpopular, even more unpopular than before. But it was cathartic.

Tens of millions of supposedly sober 'independents' voted for Obama, and now have a severe case of buyers remorse. What were they hearing when Obama spoke? I can spot a snake oil salesman from about fifty thousand miles out, and Obama reeked of snake oil. It really is very frustrating.
