teabaggers.

If you're disappointed, discouraged, upset or disagree with Obama, focus on each ISSUE you don't agree with and do something about it.

I don't belong to the Cult of Obama that flourishes on some parts of DU. After voting him in on the expectations implied in his "Hope and Change" marketing campaign, I was sadly disappointed with how he has handled some issues. Focusing on each issue, though, instead of on him or what he says, allows me to work for change instead of hoping for it.
