27. The fact that you were expecting something from Obama
shows you weren't listening at all.

"Yes WE Can".

"WE are the change WE have been waiting for."

These are the slogans that Obama repeated throughout his campaign. It wasn't just pretty words. It was a clarion call to every liberal activist that the fight didn't end with President Obama's election, it was just beginning. President Obama started the very day after inauguration day to start the fight for justice by signing an executive order to close Guantanamo Bay and when the assorted congress critters stepped in to block funding, liberal activists did nothing. A few months later they came back to check things out and had the audacity to blame the President for their inaction with congress. From the beginning, when Obama needed liberal boots on the ground to support his campaign promises, liberals stayed home and did nothing.

I guess WE weren't really looking for change, or WE were hoping someone else would take care of it for us.
