The entire purpose of the modern political machine is to take your general discontent and channel it toward individual people, in this case Bush II, so that you will forget the true scope of your oppressors.
Gore, having lost, gets to go down as the better world that could have been. Obama, having won the position of being salesman for the status quo, gets labeled the disappointment. But you'll have forgotten this in 4 years, when it is pressingly important that $REPUBLICRAT not be reelected.
