almost from the beginning, being tipped off by the way the media were pushing him yet not looking closely at what he stood for, it doesn't please me to say "I told you so," though some of the more ardent Clinton supporters are all but gloating over Obama's problems.
It has nothing to do with supporting Hillary Clinton or anybody else who ran for president last year; instead, it is all about Obama's record and what he stands for. He didn't do a "bait-and-switch" on people; people simply refused to delve deeper into the man's neoliberal tendencies. The media didn't help matters by refusing to look into his positions on issues.
It remains to be seen what happens with the HCR legislation. The U.S. Senate is just as culpable as Obama in this regard thanks to the stupid cloture/filibuster rules and all of the deals that are cut with individual senators.
