"How do progressives get disillusioned? They come to DU where they can read about how bad the Obama administration is.
Did I say bad? That's not nearly a strong enough term. The Obama administration is not just bad, according to many threads and front page articles on DU. The Obama administration is corrupt, sold out, just like the Bush administration. Worse than worthless, because instead of accomplishing nothing, they accomplish giant giveaways to the corporations. Plus, they lie all the time."

But, at this point there is no need for discouragement. My point is that Obama betrayed us in 2010. For Corn to lie and pretend that Obama did not betray us, is just an invitation for Obama to betray us again.
For myself, I feel that anger at that first betrayal should be a motivation to demand that we not get fooled again.
Maybe if we keep our guard up, Obama won't be able to sucker punch us again. Instead many here seem to be leading with our chins and saying to Obama "hit me baby one more time".
