When it comes to politicians, my exceedingly low expectations are a guaranteed safeguard against disappointment...

Re: Expectations can really bite can't they?

Azur, you're right--and some people just refuse to vote at all because no one is perfect for the job.

I think we all need such a reminder from time to time!  It does no good to expect anyone to be other than who they are.  But sometimes it's hard to let them be just that--to accept them without wanting them to fulfill some need we have.

I've noticed to in the election build up that people list impossible expectations of the candidate they oppose but those same characteristics would be beyond the candidate they support.

I struggle with this one for sure. I have a sign on my computer at work that reads.. The enemy of good .. is better. ~Peace, OTA
