33. Hold that thought...and compare it to what we THOUGHT we were doing electing Obama

Now, let it go and remember how that worked out.

Let's be honest.

YES. It is time that was changed, it has been for a long time.

We actually thought we were changing -that- very thing for a long time, decades in fact...

Not to say we must despair, hope springs eternal, even while expectation tempers and protects our psyches from abuse and disappointment of what's likely to turn out pretty much the sos.

That's happened to me almost every 4 years for decades.
