you see, what bothers me about this is the overwhelming sense of complacency i am getting from people. i understand that he has just started. he doesn't control everything. but to read "it's better than nothing" or "he's doing as best as he can" just reeks of apologist behavior. the same people who i am getting that sort of reaction from on the forum are the ones who were the most diehard about wanting obama to be president. they still see him as someone who can truly do no wrong? how messed up.
