3. I thank the powers that be

Dec 2013

every day that this man is our POTUS.

As for the critics and naysayers, most of them will be whining about whichever Dem is in the White House in 2017 - even if it's the very person they wanted elected.

We all know the drill:

"I can't believe I campaigned for ______ - I am SO disappointed!"

"This is NOT what I voted for!"

"______ ran as a progressive, and now they're acting like a Republican!"

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!"

"_______ is pulling the entire Party to the right!"

"I want a refund on my campaign donations - _______ has turned out to be just another Conservadem-ThirdWayer-DINO!"

"If I'd known _______ was going to be this spineless, I would have sat out the 2016 election!"

"Only one day in office, and ______ has already broken every campaign promise!"

You've got to give the whiners credit for one thing - they're as predictable as the sunrise.
