The last time I posted here the country was already crowning Obama as the reincarnation of Kennedy, or is it FDR? He was being proclaimed as the savior of America. Even moderate Republicans were beginning to wax hopeful.

Since then we’ve been jolted back to reality. Obama isn’t a god, he’s not even a Kennedy Democrat.

Recently he’s reaffirmed, strengthened really, the concept that the people don’t necessarily need to know what the government’s up to. His interpretation of “transparency in government” is rather opaque. The Anti-Counterfeit Trade Agreement is terrible legislation, Obama’s sided with the recording industry in the matter of fines and he dismissed out-of-hand the idea that the country would reconsider the legalization, taxation and control of marajuana. Any fear that he was going to be too liberal have been lain to rest. It appears he isn’t really liberal much at all.

So to all of those of you who worshiped Obama without critical thought last year, what are your thoughts now? Has your god died? Or are we beginning to get a view of the wizard behind the curtain?
