Spot on. For me, I guess one of the reasons that I was so disappointed in Clinton was that he made me think (hopefully) that he was a progressive, that he would roll back all of the damage done by Reagan and Poppy Bush. When it turned out that he wasn't, I felt a bit of my hopeful optimism wash away.

Then, when he championed the passage of NAFTA, I actually left the Democratic Party for six years. That's how betrayed he made me feel.

But like I said, I'm a progressive, and he clearly isn't -- and perhaps why I may be a bit more disappointed than others.
