It is easy to be disappointed in Obama. It will never be possible for him to live up to the high expectations placed on him by those of us who support him. He is very much the lover that will not fulfill all our dreams. We all have experienced disappointments at times...much like we have disappointed others and they us. It's just life right?
It seems to me that love and disappointment are almost complimentary. In fact I am reading "The Mysterious Life of the Heart: Writings from The Sun about Passion, Longing, and Love" and there is a passage in one of the stories that essentially says love is the art of managing disappointments. The lovers and dreamers amongst us know all about that. (Don't all sigh at once).
Anyway our President just gave a great speech, which is not unusual for him as we know. But I love the nuances in how he thinks and Andrew approves. Lets continue to love and be disappointed.

"...Love and disappointment are almost complimentary." This could be the topic of many volumes. I want to comment on this, but I will save it for my own blog.
