It appears I will be wrong about Obama.
I misjudged the power of his rhetoric,
overrated the nation’s dormant racism.

I mistakenly accused the Democratic party
of missing the chance to win control
by limiting their choices for the nomination,

but I didn’t expect the economy to crater,
to get so bad voters would do anything
to guarantee a change in Washington.

I’m happy to eat crow. I want Obama to win,
but it would be so much nicer if it could
happen without me going broke first.
