Our new cat came with a surprise(s) on the inside :)
“I had so much hope of what was promised…but nothing has happened yet.”
“Where is the change?”
These and similar statements are filtering through the liberal blogosphere. What happened to the lovely luster of Obama circa ’08? Some would say that he is reneging on his promises, ignoring the people that brought him into office.
I think Obama is still coming to terms with the reality of the political machinations he needs to wrestle with and the weight of established opinion he is trying to change. It will not be easy.
I am very happy that McCain did not get in, I think that would have been much worse an outcome for Canada. At least with Obama in our PM cannot so unabashedly embrace the neo-conservative ideology which he seems to be in love with.
Obama raised the bar very high during his election campaign. Many people were expecting many great things from his presidency from the beginning. I think that view is unrealistic given the political reality of the situation. Change, especially progressive change is going to happen in very small increments in US politics. The administration has changed, but the ruling elite, the people who have power and influence in America, have not.
