I'm listening

The disappointment I have with the job President Obama has done so far is mind boggling. It's boggling my mind that he's done nothing on

• 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,'
  
• ending the wars of terror that are bankrupting this country,
• stopping the Bush era assaults on our civil liberties,
• amending and eventually repealing the Patriot Act,
  
• and his marked lack of leadership on the health insurance reform issue.

And pile on top of all that his new plan to freeze discretionary spending.

I'm not psyched about his State of the Union later tonight. I expect he'll say all the right things that right wing and the media pundits inside the beltway want him to say. And he'll give us who worked to elect him the cold shoulder once again.

But I'll listen to what he's got to say. However I am not optimistic.
