Sadness From an Obama Supporter

In a Memorial Day opinion piece by the Oneonta (NY) Daily Star:

Memorial Days are never joyous times, for obvious reasons.

And this year, the occasion is especially dour for those of us who supported Barack Obama, not only for all the other reasons, but because we thought he was a peace candidate who would put an end to our misguided wars.

We're seeing more and more sadness from Obama supporters as the reality of Obama actually governing the United States sinks in. Obama's pie-in-the-sky, can't-we-all-just-get-along pre-election rhetoric has turned out to be nothing more than utopian salve, good for leftist votes but hardly applicable in real life.

One might contend that the peaceniks won't be satisfied until the United States completely abandons all national security efforts. I'm particularly flummoxed by the apparently widespread leftist belief that the U.S. is responsible for all of Earth's woes. Jeez, simple laws of probability would seem to dictate that America sometimes would not be at fault.

In any event, although the leftists consider America to be the bad guy, they continue to live here. I suggest that if you always root for the other team, it's quite normal to move your stuff into the opponent's clubhouse.
