I voted for Obama because I liked his message. But his actions don't match his words, which is what I find particularly disturbing. If someone makes a commitment but is unable to fulfill it after trying wholeheartedly, then fine, they tried their best. But instead I see what I perceive to be feigned impotence, not once, but many times.
Remember that Dennis Kucinich was not going to vote for the Health Care Reform bill because it lacked a public option. One ride on Air force One later, and Dennis Votes yes. No concessions, no provisions, no nothing to actually create any real fair market competition to put a lid on the price gouging. So the corporatists get a basket full of concessions without even asking, while progressives get their asses kicked and are called "fucking retards" by his chief of staff.
