58. How were you BETRAYED?
Did you not believe Obama when he was campaigning? Did you think he was just making stuff up?

So you didn't get what you projected Obama to be. Whose fault is that? Would the alternative been better? Sorry, but the political realities of today are not so simplistic. Obama is doing what he said he would do - focus on Afghanistan. And not just say he could see it from his house.

You were only betrayed by your own projections. Enjoy your time wrapped around your toilet.

This may or may not be a good decision. I am not a big fan of it but I am not surprised by it. I do not feel betrayed by it. I never thought for one minute that Obama would just pull up stakes and walk away from Afghanistan. There is nothing he has said or done to lead me to the conclusion that just leaving was ever an option.
