I couldn't agree more.

As with every presidential election since I turned 18, this was another case of voting for the candidate that I thought would do the least damage, not the most good, and I found both candidates to be so potentially destructive, that I wasn't overly concerned when Obama won the election.

However, IF I was one of the folks who actually voted for Obama based on his campaign of "Hope and Change" I would be furious. His cabinet is largely made up of recycled clinton cabinet members, and he has done very little in terms of change.

As far as hope, I never had much to begin with that we'd see any meaningful improvement as a result of Obama's actions, and I have even less now.
