Pre-disappointed

At a symposium on the "Age of Obama" at CUNY a few weeks ago, one participant apparently said she'd had a teeshirt printed up with the caption I'M ALREADY DISAPPOINTED. My friend J, who was at the symposium (possibly part of it), was so taken by this she's told me about it no fewer than three times. (It's one of those things you can't figure out if you like or don't, so you pass it on - get the meme out of your system.) Tonight I had a reply ready: "How nice for her. This way even if he does all she hoped he would do she'll be disappointed."
