A Rare Political Post
Sitting on my hands is getting too hard.
I try not to be the type of person who says "I told you so", but I definitely don't feel surprised.
I've never gotten into politics nor been much of a talker on the subject because this is how they all, in my observations of 43+ years, work at this level. When so many people were jumping on the hope and change bandwagon, I never said much. I still voted for him as the better choice we had overall, but considering the long list of grandiose promises, I decided to wait and see, with typically low expectations. My observations have led to a long-held personal opinion that it is easier for a politician to screw up any situation than to improve it.
Am I sticking my tongue out and saying "Nyaah! I told you so!"? Not trying to. I'm not feeling schadenfreude at all, so I hope this doesn't come across that way. Just putting my opinion out there that my low expectations are again being met by someone who is, at heart, a Chicago politician with everything that entails.
And now, back to the wall...
