I think “Be Disappointed” works better than “Get Disappointed.”
And add some red.

And add some red.
Yes. I believe that Obama spells his name with a red-and-white striped “O.”
But I prefer “get disappointed.” It’s more dynamic and suggests a process of change, which is one of this campaigns major themes.
And with California and New Mexico coming up, you better quickly work up one that says:
¡Se decepcionado en un nuevo hombre!

Andrew, you can still click the link in the text, which leads to the video website.

Thanks. Although I was actually hoping for lower quality, since my connection isn’t very fast. So far I’m underwhelmed.
