"Dissappointment We Can Believe In!"

Obama vaguely promised change without specifying much about what change he intends.
That was by design of course. His supporters superimpose on Obama their own ideas of the change they believe Obama embodies. Obama can always truthfully say "I made no such promise." Take the following photo as an example.



The poster carrier obviously believes that Obama's change will include a major policy change toward Israel. I think this person will be disappointed.
It is inevitable that other groups having their own vision of 'change' will be disappointed. Obama cannot possibly give all groups of 'change believers' what they want. The motto should now be "Disappointment we can believe in!"

You are right on. These Obama supporters are as much Obama 'hopers' as much as anything. He has constantly stated his support of Israel. The holders of that sign will disappointed inevitably. No American president has been able to permanently bring great improvement to the P/I conflict. Opposing religions driven by unreasonable orthodoxies feed fuel to the political flames.
