I voted against the bush wars, and obama loves the bush wars.
however, my lack of a vote doesn't affect the overall demographics.
and it seems certain that the republicans won't field a competitive candidate.

Well, maybe you should be disappointed with yourself a little.
You fell in to the "Obama God" theory and expected things that were impossible.
The US could not just say "Ok troops, pack up today and we are leaving the middle east".
That was never going to happen and I think this was part of Bush's strategy to
get what he believed was right done.
Bush went in deep enough to know he locked us in to a certain extent.
But you should notice that there has been a shift from the Iraq war and a strategy
in place to "wind the war down". This is different than Bush's "Stay The Course".
If you expect miracles then expect to be disappointed; but if you are realistic
then you we see that Obama is heading in the direction you wanted.
It's just not possible to make it happen in a day.
It takes time.
I truly believe that a lot of voters voted to re-elect Bush because they wanted Bush
to have more time to win the wars. Why is Obama not even give 2 years of a term
to do something?
