(7,658 posts)of much of what I consider to be a disappointment of a president is based on what you claim it is. I am a lifelong Democrat.I cried tears of joy when he was first elected. I got out of bed that very afternoon (election 2008) with a back in so much pain that i could only do that last minute phone banking for a couple of hours before the pain became too great and i had to go back home and back to bed. A dear friend from my college days was the chief of his transition team so I even had a personal connection to wanting him to be the great president I thought he could be.Others have here and elsewhere expressed the very valid reasons for my, and our, disappointment in him. And you have the FUCKING NERVE to tell me it's because I'm a racist or bigot or jealous or whatever.
HOW DARE YOU.
