TAC# 879611C PUB: 01/05/10, 01/12/10, 01/19/10 LEGAL NOTICE LEGAL NOTICE A year ago Wednesday, on an Inauguration Day like no other, Barack Obama placed his hand upon the Lincoln Bible and then assured a weary nation that, with hope and virtue, we could ''brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come.'' Across the country, in Seattle, Glen Boyd had only just entered his own economic storm. A cou- ple of weeks out of work as a DIRECTV salesman, the Obama supporter nevertheless watched the inauguration on TV with a kind of goose-pimply, things-are- bound-to-get-better anticipation. He really felt it, that thing which the poet Alexander Pope said springs eternal. ''I felt a tremendous sense of pride. I felt like he was the right guy. I felt a sense of optimism,'' recalls Boyd. Now, a year later, Boyd writes this in his blog: ''We believed what the man said in all those 'yes, we can' speeches. My one question is, where are all those reassuring speeches now?'' ''To say I'm disappointed by the Obama presidency thus far would be an understatement.'' Forget ''can,'' ''change'' and, above all, ''hope.'' The new word echoing in the blogosphere and beyond as Obama enters Year Two: disappointment. The polls have shown a wide decline in Americans' approval of Obama since he first took office last Jan. 20. In fact, accord- ing to the latest Gallup Poll, he entered his second year with one of the lowest approval ratings of any president in the last half-cen- tury (50 percent of Americans approved of his job performance at the first of January, and 44 per- cent disapproved.) John Connelly, a registered Republican who describes him- self as an archconservative, feels no disappointment because he never placed any hope in Obama's presidency in the first place. ''I knew what was coming even before he was elected,'' says the 68-year-old retired attorney who lives in Carolina Shores, N.C. Rather, some of the truest Obama believers are among the most letdown. Consider the anti-war activist upset that Obama has yet to end the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Or the socially lib- eral surgeon disillusioned with what he sees as a weak stab at health care reform. Or Boyd, ''50-ish'' and out of work a year now, bitter that the man he backed hasn't delivered more jobs. They speak of disappointment in the state of our union. Disap- pointment in themselves for expecting so much so fast. Disap- pointment, especially, in the man who, as Boyd says, ''raised the bar so high.'' Still others are more disap- pointed in their fellow Ameri- cans' impatience. ''You pick your issue of the day, and no one's happy because he hasn't tackled that one individ- ual issue with fervor,'' says fish biologist Tracii Hickman of Walla Walla, Wash., an Obama voter. She was so inspired by his election that she wrote in a news- paper commentary on inaugura- tion eve last year, ''I am opti- mistic that the massive problems facing our nation will be addressed and that we will come out on the other side of this huge mess a better people and coun- try.'' Her optimism holds. ''I do not feel letdown at all,'' she says. But others do, and they feel so strongly that they are moved to write about their disenchantment — on the Web and in letters to the editor, some in anger, others in sorrow, in language intemperate or aggrieved. ''Yes, we can?'' writes Boyd. ''How about no, we can't?'' ——— ''Barack Obama was elected president by a populace hungry for change and still believing in the possibility of government of, by, and for the people. ... his con- tinued focus on a military solu- tion rather than a more humani- tarian approach to the roots of ter- rorism promises a continuation of death, misery, and squandered resources. ... In the immortal words of Pete Townsend, we have met the new boss and he's the same as the old boss.'' —From a letter by Matt Sulli- van to the Pleasanton Weekly published on Jan. 1, 2010. ——— On the second Wednesday of every month, city Councilman Matt Sullivan and a small band of like-minded folks stand, clutch- ing candles, in front of the muse- um in downtown Pleasanton, Calif. Pleasantonians 4 Peace, they call themselves, and they have vowed to continue these vig- ils until the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are over. A year ago, watching the inau- guration, Sullivan felt enormous hope that the end would be soon. The 53-year-old engineer, a lifelong Democrat, considers himself a pragmatist, especially when it comes to politics. As a councilman, Sullivan sees the compromises that politicians must make, understands the reali- ty that tempers campaign promis- es. But Obama's election made him feel a hope and excitement he had never experienced in his life. ''Suddenly we were talking about very important, social issues that have been off the agen- da for years. It was so exciting, so refreshing, so inspiring,'' Sullivan says. And, one year later, so dis- heartening. ''What happened to that guy?'' Sullivan asks. ''What hap- pened to his vision for the country and for the world? It seems to have vanished.'' Sullivan is disappointed by health care, the economy, energy programs. But what angers him the most are two wars that, he believes, have damaged Ameri- ca's image abroad and jeopar- dized the country's safety. ''Essentially it's the same rhetoric that Bush used, just with a higher level of intelligence,'' Sullivan says. Perhaps even deeper than his discouragement with Obama is Sullivan's disillusionment with the entire political system, the sense that if Obama — with all his leadership skills, charisma and determination — cannot change it, nothing can. ''It shakes your belief that rep- resentative democracy will actu- ally work for people at large. I guess I won't say I don't have any hope remaining. But the only way I think those hopes can be filled is if Obama hears directly from enough people that we think he is not doing the right thing.'' ——— ''I voted for President Obama. I believed, perhaps finally, we would get a person of courage and integrity. Sadly, I was wrong. I wanted only two things from him. One was a single-payer uni- versal health care system, like Medicare, like Veterans care, like all of our Congress people have. But he caved to the Republicans, to the health care and pharmaceu- tical industries, to some cowardly Democrats. What's left will most likely deliver nothing of value.'' —From a letter by Beverly Wardell to the Herald News in Passaic County, N.J., published on Dec. 2, 2009. ——— Beverly Wardell and six or seven like-minded friends meet regularly over lunches and catch up by telephone. And for a year now, the new president they all voted for has been a regular part of the conversation. While most remain optimistic about Obama and believe he needs time to fulfill his promises, Wardell is increasingly disillu- sioned. ''He spoke eloquently and people understood what he was saying and believed him,'' says Wardell, 65, a retired paralegal who lives in Clifton, N.J. ''If expectations were raised, it prob- ably wasn't Obama's fault com- pletely. I just think people were so desperate after Bush that Obama seemed like a bright ray of hope. So maybe we set our sights too high.'' Wardell's hopes were invested chiefly in Obama's pledge to reform the health care system and, to a lesser extent, his promise to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq. But while she sees the latter moving forward, the administra- tion's failure to push a robust pub- lic option for health insurance through Congress has been a tremendous frustration, says Wardell, a registered Democrat who considers herself a socially liberal and fiscally conservative independent. In part, she blames Congress — Democrats for giving in too easily and Republicans for their determination to see the new president fail. But she also blames Obama himself. ''I was hoping that Obama would be in the line of a Franklin Roosevelt, that we would get some things that would help the middle class,'' says Wardell. When a friend without insur- ance was diagnosed recently with colon cancer, Wardell's frustra- tion with Obama's willingness to forgo a public option only increased. She wondered: Why couldn't he have fought harder? In three years, Wardell says, she'll vote for Obama again. She can't imagine a Republican can- didate with anything to offer and while a few other politicians intrigue her, she doubts their elec- tability. But in 2012, it is likely that she will cast her ballot in the spirit of compromise, and not hope. ——— ''President Obama said many times before he took office that the catastrophic state that Ameri- ca is in will take some time to get out of and it would require some patience from the American peo- ple. He asked you prior to taking office to give him some time. Where has good old common sense gone? ... Give Pres. Obama some time and stop acting like immature brats. Our youth are watching!'' —From a letter by Charleszetta Lewis to the Koko- mo Tribune published on Sept. 9, 2009. ——— Charleszetta Lewis knows dis- appointment and frustration. She has watched, helpless, while her 82-year-old, widowed mother struggles with the so- called Medicare ''doughnut hole'' — the period during which she must pay full price for the blood pressure, diabetes, antide- pressant and half-dozen other prescription medications she must take daily. And she has been embarrassed that the party and president she helped elect have struggled to enact meaningful health reform, despite their majorities. Attempts at bipartisanship have, in her eyes, come across as weakness. But the retired Chrysler assembly line supervisor is most disappointed in the American people. ''The evil, angry, hostile dis- play of immature American dia- logue over the past few months is setting a bad example for our youth,'' Lewis, 63, wrote to the Kokomo (Ind.) Tribune last fall, at the height of the ''Tea Party'' protests. ''Blatant anger is not of God.'' When Obama took the oath of office, Lewis drank in the words of the first president whose skin was the same color as hers. She remembers words of hope about the future, tempered by words of caution about the long, hard road ahead. And she wonders if anyone else was listening. ''He didn't say he would do it in the first six months,'' Lewis says. ''He didn't say in the first eight months, nine months, a year. He said at the end of his first term.'' Lewis says Obama is willing to work to solve the nation's problems, and she's willing to meet him halfway. If all goes according to plan, she will come out of retirement soon to open Loving Hands — Kokomo's first adult day care center. The center took 15 years and a long ''conversation with the Lord'' to become a reality. Now, Lewis asks: Shouldn't we be will- ing to afford our leader the same courtesy? A year later, hope dissolves into one of disappointment
