<blockquote class="Quote"><div><strong class="bc-author">Rockadelic</strong> said:</div><div>I think many Obama supporters had unrealistic expectations from the get-go.<br /> <br /> Other than way over spending he's done pretty much exactly as I expected.<br /> <br /> The Feb 2011 deficit > than the entire 2007 deficit......somebody's "gettin paid".</div></blockquote> <br /> The "over spending" was totally justified in order to avoid a depression that would have lasted for at least a decade.<br /> <br /> The real problem remains "under taxing" and the historical gap between the rich and the poor.<br /> <br /> Obama will be re-elected in 2012 because the Republicans have no one and nothing to offer as an alternative.<br /> <br /> People who thought he would be some sort of avenging left-wing messiah were bound to be disappointed. They just don't understand how deeply conservative mythology is entrenched in this country, or how powerful money is.<br /> <br /> The two truly transformative presidents in US history were Lincoln and FDR. Think about the catastrophic events they were involved with and ask if you're ready for a re-run. Because that's what it takes for the sort of massive realignment some people want.<br /> <br /> Basically the complaints about Obama boil down to:<br /> <br /> "What? No magic wand?"<br /> <br /> There are no magic wands, kids.
