Told you so

I hate to say it, but "told you so". Who am I chiding? This time it's the mining industry. They believed Obama when he said he was going to take care of them, despite saying he was going to kill the industry (yes, that's a broad paraphrase) to others. The Mine Worker's Union endorsed Obama.

There's a lot of "told you so's" to dish out these days. People chose to believe whatever felt good. They bought into the hype and now that Obama is doing exactly what he said he'd do, they're screaming. Well, some are screaming. A lot of my fellow Americans aren't paying one bit of attention to what's happening to our most wonderful country.

I hate to say it, but it's sad.

I'm listening to Sting singing "It's Probably Me" as I type. Beautiful song, but that phrase "I hate to say it" is influencing my writing .

I hate to say it, but it's probably [not] me... it's Obama.
