...but she thinks that if democrats set expectations low enough...
Wow, that coworker of yours must have just woke up from a year-long coma. All we've heard for the past year is "hope and change", "Yes, We Can", and how Obama is going to give, give, give those freebies. From national healthcare to ending foreclosures to "spreading the wealth"...liberals are expecting the moon from the Zero. The expectations are stratospheric.
If Obama meets them, he'll have to print enough money to paper the universe and cause hyperinflation. But what if he doesn't meet them...what will happen to the Barackolytes when their messiah doesn't deliver?

Depends on whether they were a "true believer" under the spell of hopenosis, or someone who saw through the smokescreen but wanted a democrat to have power at any cost. I think my coworker falls into the latter category. She knows d*** well what is coming and who will be responsible, but she knows she can use BDS to couch it as inevitable (Bush's fault) before Obama ever took office. She cares more about retreat and surrender in Afghanistan, not to mention Iraq. What I find funny is that Obama promised to reinforce Afghanistan at one point, essentially applying the surge strategy he claims wouldn't work. She probably sees through that smokescreen as well and knows Obama has every intention of weakening America's defense department as much as possible.
