I'm reading a terribly sad book these days. It's a book that I thought would uplift me during the doldrums of second-year medical school, and renew in me a sense of hope. It's called "The Audacity to Win," and it's a memoir of Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign.
When I'm finished with my patient write-ups at night and get into bed, the book returns me to a time when politics inspired millions and speeches could take your breath away. The election turned out to be a landslide, and news anchors paused to reflect on the historic nature of the hour.
My classmates cried with joy, and my parents saved every newspaper they could find. A young team of visionaries was headed for the White House, and the nation was ready for change. During Obama's transition to office in 2008, he had an 82% approval rating. There was something in the air.
And then I close the book. Cutting to the present is a rude awakening, like snapping out of a dream. It's hard to remember those days of optimism -- they seem a distant memory, a sad reminder of opportunities gone by. Change indeed happened, in the years since I cast my first ballot. It was simply nothing I could have imagined.....

Editor's note: Nathaniel P. Morris is a second-year student at Harvard Medical School.
Stop enjoying this so much !
LOL
This poor leftist medical student has no idea how Obamacare will ruin his career.
The idiot would still vote for the next Democrat that came along.

This IS who they are. Incompetence, dishonesty, cronyism and empty promises is exactly what you voted for kid! You've got a lot of nerve complaining about it now.
I am told that the new crop of medical graduates is quite happy to be 9-5 government employees.
His future patients have no idea how Obamacare will change the quality of their clinicians.
Haha! The kid will find out once he’s finished med school and his residency, he will officially be a government employee. The Feds will have him by the sack for his education loans and his new federal pay scale and higher tax rates won’t leave enough to payoff the loans in his lifetime.
Wow!......just Wow!
This level of stupidity just takes my breath away.
My antipathy for this man was as high in 2008 as it is in 2013.
Five years have passed and young Nathaniel hasn’t learned squat.
He listed every pet issue and cause for leftists and libertarians in the book...but didn’t mention the trillions in debts and deficits once.
That guy and CNN have just become racists obviously.
Sweet tears..........slurp!
That'll calm him down a bit.
I think I’d sue someone preemptively if this LIB fool was my doctor. What a clod.
Why? Are your classmates homos, communists, or idiots? Perhaps all the above?
Hilarious! This simple faggot is disappointed in Ubama because he didn’t get enough communism passed into law.
He'll wake up after he leaves the safe confines of academia, and has to work in the medical field to earn his daily bread. I foresee a much hardened viewpoint in his future.
