I knew he wasn't a progressive - so why am I disappointed?

Like a lot of people, I'm sure, I expected better from an Obama administration. I shouldn't have but I guess I got caught up in hype and change.

When he was campaigning, Obama, unlike Edwards, was never a fan of a single payer medical program. He was never anti-war. He was never, well, socialist enough for me. Still, I thought, maybe, once he took office, maybe... No.

And the Democrats generally! They can't legislate with a super-majority. They can't legislate with a simple majority. What good are they?
