Disappointing Our Leading Political Observer

A newsflash from CNN....Jon Stewart is 'saddened' by Barack Obama's performance as President.

"I think people feel a disappointment in that there was a sense that Jesus will walk on water and no you are looking at it like, 'Oh look at that, he's just treading water' … I thought he'd do a better job," said Stewart.

....

"I thought we were in such a place [in 2008], much like the Tea Party feels now, that the country … needed a more drastic reconstruction – I have been saddened to see that someone who ran on the idea that you can't expect to get different results with the same people and the same system has kept in place so much of the same system and same people," he said.

Why is he disappointed?  What else did he expect from someone with a brief stint as a state legislator prior to an even briefer stint as the part-time.....because he was already running for the Presidency....junior senator from Illinois?  What else did he expect from someone that lacks any executive experience?

There is more to governing than the ability to give a good speech.
