In response to a comment I made on another diary I was asked the question that is the title of this one.  I started to reply and then realized that this needs to be a diary of its own.

As a matter of fact, I was an enthusiastic Obama supporter for over two years.  His speech at the 2004 Democratic convention blew my spouse and me away.  I couldn't wait to vote for this man.  Here, I thought, is a true leader and we will see him lead us through the next four years.  I even told all my friends and family that this man should be the next President of the United States.

I was wrong.  Here is why.
