17. Halfway intelligent individuals realize that expectations are pure fantasies
Formula: Expectations = Fantasies.
Expectations are not REAL, just something conjured in your imagination.

For example:
Expectation: Obama should "go big" in his Jobs' Speech

Actuality: Obama fails to "go big" in the speech

Result: Obama has failed and betrayed you

See how this works: Every time Obama doesn't live up to your expectations (fantasies) he is a failure. It doesn't matter what he accomplishes, because he has betrayed you and your values. He betrayed you with the Public Option, the Stimulus, the continuation of the Bush Tax Cuts, etc. etc. It does not matter that the expectations/fantasies were unrealistic, Obama has been a dismal failure.
