Disappointed Too

Bill Maher laments:

Yeah, I'm disappointed, too. I thought we were sweeping into power; I
thought change meant Change. I believed all that talk about another First 100
Days, a la Roosevelt. Well, that didn't happen. The question is, is this as good
as it gets from Obama, or is he pacing himself? He may have a four and
eight-year plan and they included a first year of just gettin' to know you and
not gonna rock the boat too much. Well, Mission Accomplished on that.

It's still to early to lose hope in a guy as smart and talented as
Barack Obama. But I would counsel him to remember: If you're going undercover to
infiltrate how Washington works, so you become one of them for a while, to gain
their confidence, well, it can be just like all those movies where a cop goes
deep, deep, DEEP undercover with drug people and -- f***, he's a drug addict,
too!

Logic tells me that really smart guys like Obama and Rahm Emanuel know
better what they're doing than I do. They certainly know things I don't know. I
think we have the same general goals and beliefs. And this is what they do for a
living -- I wouldn't even try it. But I will never stop having this doubt: that
maybe if they had really charged in there riding the forceful energy of the
historic election, and acted like it was an emergency moment -- which it was --
they could have gotten some big victories right up front, and there really could
have been an historic "first hundred days" for this administration and the
country. Instead of what happened, which is the Obamas got a dog.
