But good for him for speaking up about admitting his mistake.
Well, the smart reasons for voting him in were half the GOP ticket was a tired, fear-mongering old man and the other half was an inept ditz. Thos still apply.

So what? Why tell us publicly if he isn't trying to influence our thinking?

You guys are just making excuses for this guy after telling us libs since 2001 that actors and singers should just "shut up and act/sing!" Stop it already and just admit to your hypocrisy. Geeez. Ya can't take one on the chin for once?

idiots. the race isn't over. stop screaming failure. it takes more than two years to clean 8 years of mess up. or can't you do the math?
Exactly!!! What has happened to this country did not start in 2009, it takes much longer to destroy a nation from within!

He's embarrassed by his vote. He knows it showed a lack of rational thinking that reflects badly on him. Owning up to the mistake and expressing regret is the responsible thing to do.

Gene needs to lay off the botox he's starting to look plasticized.

Regarding his statements on politics. He never struck me as a political scholar. I think I have read more than once where Gene's main motivation is usually money, so perhaps he feels that under the Obama administration his income will be reduced from oh...say......$10 million a year to $9.6 million a year.

He has no credibility. And he needs to take those stupid sun glasses off.

I haven't reached the point where I would have voted for someone other than Obama (yet) but unlike the kool-aid drinkers around here I am at least holding him accountable for his unkept promises.
