I’d say a bit more. Obama turned out to be more practical and dedicated to producing at least some incremental progress under very difficult circumstances. The voting demographic that was most about the “feelings” ended up abandoning the country by avoiding the unsexy midterms.

Agreed. Obama did a great job given the circumstances, but all the feely-hopey-changey voters who immediately became disillusioned when Obama performed within the constraints of his role to inch us forward decided to sit out the last few midterms.

The first generation of children raised with a woman in the White House will be profoundly influenced to regard women as equal by default when they reach adulthood. I believe this will also go a long way to address economic inequality.

I then have to deliver the sobering news, and I’m seen as…

My own finely-honed bullshit detector knows why you perceive something off: she’s understandably guarded because she has to be. She doesn’t have the luxury of wearing her heart on her sleeve.

Great detective work!
