You put into words how I am feeling as well. As more and more things started happening that I disagreed with I was still holding out hope that this was part of some grand scheme on Obama's part and everything would be all right in the long run. But unfortunately I am starting to give up hope all together. You are right that a clear policy philosophy is being established. Detractors to our way of thinking about Obama's presidency so far say that he has only been president for four months, but like you said he is establishing policy that will more than likely continue. I am incredibly disappointed and actually sad that the hope that I had in Obama during his campaign seems to have been in vain. There is still a part of me that wants to believe in the "change we can believe in" but it is evaporating more and more everyday.
