Wow. Just re-read my 1/20/09 posts for the first time in months.
I still believe that the country voted for transformation. Harder to gauge: whether destructive/dishonest political rhetoric will completely undo the hope, and replace it with ill-informed cynicism.
I still see Obama as the guy I voted for; he's mostly behaved the way I thought he would. I have deep concerns in the areas of civil liberties, accountability, and adherence to the rule of law; but he's been practical, cautious, and wise in most areas thus far.
Mostly, I worry about wasted opportunity, whether wasted by congress or the people or the man himself. But it's only been 7 months, after all, so I cannot say I am disappointed.
