Scalzi on Obama and the Democratic Party

[unixronin]

John Scalzi points out a few truths about yesterday's election:

1. It was Obama who won, not necessarily the Democrats.

2. The United States did not become a deep blue paradise overnight.

3. Obama will not give you everything you want, when you want it.

4. Your next president is going to disappoint you.

5. Last night’s election didn’t change the country; it offered a chance for the country to change.

i try not to be disappointed by politicians, by not getting my hopes up too far.
that's one reason this one's kind of scary. he has a preternatural sort of charisma...

Yeah, I was - and remain - rather concerned by the Obama cult-of-personality.
