I think I'm done now. I've been holding on to whatever slim straw I could feel, hoping Obama would come out of the fog (or at least give me a tiny bit better inkling that he's got something up his sleeve other than a sweaty armpit). But he won't move on DADT; he's caving on the Bush tax cuts; he's shorting the payments he promised to make to people who most need some help fighting foreclosure; and the list goes on. It just doesn't look like he knows how to get out of his own way.
So I'm done with him - at least for now. Right now, the only thing that gets me back is if he mounts an unbelievably effective comeback. The kind of campaign where he takes everything the Repubs say, he turns it around, and beats the crap out of 'em with it. Every day for the next 2 years. But he won't.
I hope I'm wrong. I hope he actually has the greatness I thought I saw in him 2 years ago. But I'm not, and he doesn't. This really sucks.
Send an email to Obama.
