You didn't raise the bar too high, you didn't deliver...

As I read this statement by Harry Reid as quoted in the Washington Post:

"I understand their disappointment," said Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada. "We raised the bar too high."

I wondered, is he that out of touch as to why people are disgusted with Democrats? It's not that they raised the bar too high, they didn't deliver. Outside of the flashy public relations moment of the first 100 days, politics as usual continued with the only difference in the Democrats having the majority was who was parading around claiming either victory or defeat. The promise was that the Democrats would not be business as usual and on that, they did not deliver.
