Then you're one of the 5%.
I'm going to go ahead and speak for everyone on this: the Obama cool-aid drinkers are a rare breed. Outside of a few privileged, sheltered, academic types, even his most steadfast voters are unhappy with plenty of policies.
As a musician and sound engineer, I know the punks, hipsters, and hippies of the Minneapolis music and theater scenes that voted Obama are cynical, impossible to please, and verge on libertarian.
The handful of progressive talk radio hosts - Mike Malloy, Thom Hartmann, Amy Goodman - never hesitate to point out Obama's failings.
My environmentalist friends from Clean Water Action where I worked for five years are all too aware of the slow, compromised progress on environmental policies.
The 2,000 members of the Congregational church where I work are generally pleased, but well aware of his shortcomings.
My academic friends on the Ph.D track bitch about Obama, but continue to support him because he doesn't hate on gays, deny climate change, or teach creationism.
My Armenian in-laws are pissed because Obama downgraded his stance on the Armenian genocide after he was elected.
My working-class machinist/painter/electrician high school friends generally just vote for the lesser of two a$$holes. As do my relatives in New Jersey.
The only people who believe Obama can do no wrong are a handful of the stupid know-alls of the world. More of them lean right.
