Translation: "I'm A Rube"

As the Good Professor is wont to say, "Another rube self-identifies."

Mr. President,

We thought you were different, but you turned out to be like all the others. You promised hope and change, but we trust government even less than before. You offered a new brand of post-partisan governing, but the red states and blue states are farther apart than ever.

Washington was a mess when you arrived in January of 2009, but by breaking your promises and, frankly, our hearts, you made it worse.

You vowed to ban lobbyists from the White House only to sneak them in through loopholes.

You barred corporate donations to the first inauguration but let the special interest money rain down the second time around. You even learned to love super PACs.

How could you?

Signed,
Hopeless and Changed (for the worse)
