Michael Moore is still really, really sad — really, really disappointed in Obama. Why? I don’t think Moore even knows. He’s just disappointed. Probably because he has a completely unrealistic view of what a president in this or any decade can and can’t do. No, Obama was never going to unravel the military-industrial complex, or dismantle the CIA’s Predator Drones, or pass single-payer healthcare. He promised exactly none of these things, so it’s irrational to be disappointed because of something he never promised to do. Along those lines, it’s unrealistic to expect any president to fulfill 100 percent of his promises. It just doesn’t work that way. Ever. So, the sooner Moore and other like-minded progressives accept political reality, the less disappointed they’ll feel. But don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen.....
