Reply #52: I was more than disappointed

[__Inanna__]

I can understand being depressed, as I haven't really left my house since the election. However, part of me thinks he had a responsibility to all of us, those who looked to him to be a ray of hope, to not do a complete 180. I understand the sarcasm, but what's a person to do who really needed Kerry to win, who believed in that statement, "help is on the way," who is sitting alone after watching that? I myself felt like OMG, get me outta here before it's too late. It's like invasion of the body snatchers. And I confess, there's a teeny part of me that got pretty miffed when he said it had been a good year for him and that he had health insurance. It's bad enough realizing you live in a country you can't believe in any longer, but then to see him...

The only thing I do possibly believe is that he was threatened to tone it down, or else...now that seems plausible to me. I have just as much hope as the next person that the fraud is exposed, that we all live happily ever after, but I am getting tired of everything being viewed as if there is a secret meaning behind it. Sometimes things really are as they seem. No offense to anyone here intended. I am just very sad.
