Eight years later it's frustration and exasperation with the status quo.
If anything, it seems worse now than it did eight years ago.
So, what happened (or didn't happen)?
Part of the problem is our two party system.
It's easy to blame Republicans; but, blame Democrats too.
While I believe Barack Obama to be a good and intelligent man,
I also believe him to be political to a fault.
Like the majority of Democrats and Republicans in Congress,
Barack Obama has been very good at spouting the party line.
The president's and congress' constant bickering not only thwarts change,
but also thwarts the conduct of regular business, e.g., passing an annual budget required by law.
History will proclaim Barack Obama as our first black president.
I hope that history will remember Barack Obama as a good and intelligent man.
I doubt that history will remember Barack Obama as the president of positive change.
