Viewing Obama’s victory last night, and all the emotion that followed, filled me with a sort of uncomfortable despair. How wonderful it is to see so many people once again proud of America, their government, and president. And have such optimissim and hope for the future. But none of this can last. Obama is but a politician, and all politicians inevitably disappoint.
A big let-down is on the horizon, and I fear the crisis of morale that will accompany the revelation that President Obama is not the savior many imagine, but rather a flawed, pragmatic elected official with the most difficult job in the world.
