(31,234 posts)How many people get divorced because they "felt" let down? Expectations are purely subjective, and if you're one of those "die-hard Democrats" who thought Obama would have turned us into Venezuela by now, then you're right to feel "let down".
On the other hand, Obama can't make you vote. He can't make you show up on the steps of the Congress. He can't make you show up in the midterms. Some things should just be a given. You Obama detractors are always telling us he's just a flesh & blood politician, but then you argue that he can assemble millions? OFA sends out pleas on behalf of the president's agenda almost everyday on issues Democrats claim to care about. And you come to DU and hear "Democrats" screeching that I won't do "x" if Obama doesn't do "y".
Hey, here's a thought. Perhaps, in your spare time, when you aren't making grand declarations about Obama's all encompassing ability to assemble millions, you could organize that million man march on your own? Beats pecking away at a keyboard, and it's certainly much more productive.
