A NEW LOW:

Barack Obama and the Fading of Hope (Matthew Rothschild, February 1, 2010, The Progressive)

Face it: A lot of people fooled themselves. When Barack Obama was running for President, and when he won, people filled his empty but gift-wrapped box labeled “Hope” with huge dreams of a better America.

We wanted him to be a mix of Martin Luther King and FDR, but the odds always were that he would be a mix of Bill Clinton and George Bush the First, and so it has turned out, with a little George Bush the Second thrown in for bad measure and Jimmy Carter for good.

The poor guy's upside is Jimmy Carter?
