49. The tragedy of that picture on the left...

Fri Feb 24, 2012, 09:52 PM

Feb 2012

...is that Obama inspired soo many people into believing he was going to represent real change.

I doubt he'd fill that stadium today as he did then.

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.

Now does that mean the answer lies with the crazies on the rightwing? Obviously not.

But to think Obama is the second coming of FDR, hell, for that matter, even on a par with Eisenhower is to fool yourself.

Go into this next election with your eyes wide open.
