Gitmo continues. Afghanistan has been expanded into Pakistan. No one will be prosecuted or even investigated for torture. Left-leaning senators and congresspeople are being bullied if they step too far out of line. Right-leaning decisions continue to be supported. Bankers continue to be supported. Ordinary people who are unemployed and about to lose their homes continue not to be supported. Detroit was allowed to tank when it could have been painted green.

It's hope that will break you, every time.
