Satisfied?
Greet the new boss -- same as the old boss. Unfortunately the media doesn't point this out in bold letters and big fonts like it does for Republican administrations.
I note that even Leftist BoingBoing has finally taken notice of the direction the administration is heading.
Crooked appointees? Check.
Restricting the internet? Check. (One word -- RIAA)
Owned? Check, but different owners - the new owners are the labor unions instead of Big Oil.
Feeble FEMA? Check. Kentucky instead of NOLA though.
"Political" prisoners? Check. Closing Gitmo & transferring them to other prisons doesn't count.
Torture? Check.
Secrecy? Check.
War in Iraq & Afghanistan? Check.
Gun Control? Um, Republicans are against this, sorry. It's the Dem party that has this as a basic plank. No check.
Rendition? Check.
Elitism? Check?
Cronyism? Check.
Did I miss any? Are ALL politicians alike? Unfortunately, it sure seems that way.

you were expecting a change in what, maybe the underwear? There is a reason I do not trust either of the mainstream parties, and your post illustrates why with some vigor. Regardless of the change of the occupant in the lime light, the policy rarely changes without significant demonstration on the part of the public. Sadly it usually has to be of the less than peaceful type to get the attention of those who are acting like they give a hoot. To answer the question, no I am not satisfied. (sticking my tongue out here will not help, but it might make both of us laugh though ;-P
