I’m disenchanted.
I know, I know. He’s a politician, right? They never keep campaign promises.
But all of you know how this process goes. I saw Napolean Dynamite months after it had been out of theaters, after it became a cult phenomenon, knowing that it wouldn’t be as good as everyone said it would be. But I hoped, you know?
And then it turned out to just be okay. Overhyped, though.
And so it seemed that this was different. And I think it’s understandable that I wanted to believe all the buildup during the election. Fierce advocacy. And I know he’s doing better than McCain would’ve.
This is the other shoe that I knew would drop. But it still hurts like hell when you hit the ground, even if you’ve braced yourself for the fall. So today, I’m sad.
