Reply #74: Now, he's one of them.

Obama will retire from this job - four years or eight - a very wealthy man. He and his children, perhaps beyond that, are set for life.
Thus, the disconnect. He has clearly lost touch with the people he supposedly wanted to serve.
It'll be a classic "hold your nose" election in 2012. We simply can't cede anymore to the fascists - and if you think Obama is bad, then I have a lunatic for you!
The groundswell movement for Obama will not be there in 2012 and it may not make a difference. Perhaps he, or his people, knows this. Either way, he has little to lose. The people of this country, save for the 1% 'ers, have a ton to lose with another ideologue fanatic nut job as President.
So, I'll hold my nose.
What a tremendous disappointment though.
