The disappointment expressed by these former Obama supporters in this video, is shared by many...including myself.

I didn't vote for Obama, but if I had, I would be very
pissed off by this point. He really has lost his base.
Great video, by the way.

I know Biden fell asleep the other day during one of
his speeches because he was just tired, but I bet
more and more people will just be tired of hearing
Obama say the same old things. He changed nothing -
that's why many just call him Barrack W. Bush

I think it's good to hold our leaders accountable, but it's also important to realize that Congress, and not the President, is why Gitmo hasn't closed and we don't have a Public Option.

A lot of liberals chose to sit the last election out because Obama wasn't perfect enough for them. Too much of a centrist. I understand, but look at the alternative. It's bad. The GOP took control of the House 101 days ago. Not a single jobs bill. Just wedge issues and a lot of B.S.

On a positive note, it looks like Obama has been appeasing his "base" with his speech on Wednesday and his comments during the fundraiser in Chicago. Maybe this will continue.

Obama campaigned on closing Gitmo, whether that's
something Congress does or not.
Obama never fought for the public option
at all - I don't think he even campaigned on it.

And Obama campaigned against an insurance mandate.

He's following a play by play Clinton foreign policy
in Libya. I'm wondering who really is running the
show.... certainly not Obama.

I didn't vote for him because i could see thru him at a glance. But I hope no one votes for that fool twice. The first time I could see how he looked 'smooth', but ever since it has been lies.

Let him rule Disneyland where pretend works fine.

Dont worry, some of his still loyal followers (nutjobs and far left liberals) already have a hundred or so excuses to defend his broken promises, lies, etc. None of them make sense or are true but they have already been spouting them off. But mostly, they dont want to even talk about it. I think we all know why.

I did, you didn't, I'm not pissed off, so I could care less whether you are or not.

I have little respect for folks who start off a thread with a video. How about at least trying to express your own opinion so we can see if it has merit.

Apparently, even some that voted for him are still in the mesmerized cocoon, even with all the lies, broken promises and more lies.
