Addendum... to my Nov. 11, 2008 Post.
So I wrote this blog post about things Obama would not do because I did not expect him to do much honestly, but figured that at least by NOT doing many things he'd be better than his predecessor.
I am sad to say that I was wrong, since the Patriot Act was recently renewed and he has covered up and hidden all kinds of stuff which he promised to reveal. I hate that even when I am cynical people fall BELOW my low expectations.
Who said that raising expectations lead to better results?... oh wait that was Rod Paige, George W. Bush, Margaret Spellings, and now Arne Duncan. Look how that crap has worked out for America's schools... So I guess lowering them has the opposite effect in politics, since politicians will always fall below one's expectations.
