Perdogg, I find this part of your post most interesting. I don't quite understand the "increasingly apathetic" part or the buyers remorse hints. Can you expound on that a little more?
I can say this: a very very liberal friend of mine, whom I thought would be all in my face about the results, was very very somber after the election. He did seem to realize that he got what he wanted...now maybe he'd have to see him "deliver". But whatever it was, he wasn't walking cocky--he was definitely in a serious mood. I was even surprised to hear him say we needed to "pray" for Obama...that is a phrase I don't think I've ever heard him use.
There was story about Michelle Obama’s designer dress where a woman from Wisconsin, who voted for Bambi, seem to have a light bulb off in her head upon seeing her in it. Also there was a caller on Austin Hill’s radio show that I missed, but was recounted by another caller that the caller was already done with Obama.
I actually gave Gov Bill Clinton a chance (didn’t vote for him), until I was told that Gov Clinton economic cure endorsed by three Nobel prize economist was not really THE economic plan but instead he had to have an economic summit to come up with one. Ironically Obama’s plan sounds just like it.

“The forgotten man... He works, he votes, generally he prays, but his chief business in life is to pay.”
