Clap along if you feel like happiness is a drone strike on a wedding party full of innocent civilians.
It was just about eight years ago now that a first-term senator named Barack Obama initially started causing problems for the Democratic Party's assumed heir apparent, Hillary Clinton. Prior to that, my progressive friends and I simply took for granted that we'd have to deal with another four-to-eight years of the Clinton's Republican-esque brand of liberalism. Obviously, we were being naive and idealistic when we allowed ourselves to get sucked in by Obama's "Hope and Change" sales pitch, and we've certainly gotten a bit wiser over the course of these past six years of wire-tapping, drone strikes and half-met promises.
What really annoys me, though, is when my conservative friends point to the many disappointments of the Obama administration and ask me how that hopey-changey stuff is working out for me. Yes, I am pissed off, but for the exact opposite reason that they are.
This video released on Anonymous's verified YouTube channel does a pretty good job of expressing my frustration.
