I tried. I did. You all know I did.
I can't find it in me to like Obama. All that talk of hope just doesn't reach me. I've never been one to believe in people, perhaps that's why I can't believe in him. I just find myself wanting to laugh when he talks about his plans and ideas.
They sound like they'd all work on paper, but in the real world things fall apart. In the real world ideas don't move mountains. Ideas don't fix things. I don't think he's going to realize that before it goes wrong. I don't think he's going to see the truth.
And the truth is that ideas don't work because people don't want them to work. People will stand and cheer and applaud you, yes, but secretly they don't want to see you succeed. Deep down people want to rip you down and tear you apart because they want to show you that you're just like them. They want to show you that despite all your talk and bravado you're just as weak and sad as they are.

You're not alone in this Adam. Our senator just decided he didn't like him all that much either. I can't say I'm surprised though. Why would a Democrat president think an establishment Republican would want to be part of his cabinet?
Is it just me or does it seem like it's taking longer than it should to nail down a full cabinet? I would think with all the massive hype surrounding him Obama shouldn't have any trouble getting people to work for him.
I still want to believe he can help the country and I'm not going to be one of those people who are claiming his presidency is doomed, but it does feel like he's not getting off to a very good start.
