Hat tip to Kate.

And related, over at Salon:

So many progressives were misled about what Obama is and what he believes. But it wasn’t Obama who misled them. It was their own desires, their eagerness to see what they wanted to see rather than what reality offered.

I would certainly argue with the statement that “it wasn’t Obama who misled them”, considering his entire campaign was based on the slogan “Change you can believe in.”

Empty words.
