I voted for Obama. Can I take it back?
Should he resign, yes. Will he, h*ll no, he has more destruction planned on the horizon.

Votes have consequences. I suggest you consider seriously Ron Paul 2012.

If it was because you really liked him, you are excused. If it was because he was the lesser of two evils, next time VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE like we all should do.

I voted for him because I bought into the idea of our nation changing for the better.

Y'all can just live on with Obama. A ton of us wanted Bush to get the hell out of office, but we didn't get that.

Well you're excused. We've all been betrayed by candidates we voted for who we later find out didn't mean what they promised in campaigns. I think all of us by now should be very leery of candidates that are too slick and don't have a prior track record to show that they are likely to follow through on their promises. We all should be willing to do our homework on all of the candidates including the third party candidates and vote for who we think is best -- whether the media calls them a "front runner" or not.

Go study the Federal Reserve and you'll understand why it will not matter WHO is in office. Save for a Ron Paul type who wants to abolish it. Seriously, has your knowledge really increased and has your views really changed? Or are you going to find yourself duped again when the next great speaker comes around the corner to wow you. Seriously, it's not about one man or the Presidency. Its about an entrenched banking elite who are running a scam on the American people.

Problem is you actually believe it would have remained so if Obama had not been elected.

LOL It's so funny how teabaggers and some others want to blame Obama.

Let's see we lost the AAA rating from ONE rating agency.. why? Cuz its what the teabaggers wanted. They WANTED us to default even. All polls show most people wanted a balanced approach that included revenue increases, and Obama was pushing for only 1/4 of the his plan to have that, where as 3/4 would still have spending cuts, and still they wouldn't have it.

Congress has been even WORSE since then 2010 elections. They get nothing done, the people who got elected know nothing of compromise. They block Obamas appointees. It's ridiculous.

People want to say Democrats controlled everything when Obama got elected, that is clearly not true. YES they had control of all the houses, but they didn't have a REAL super majority, if they did we would have had the original plan Obama wanted (which had a lot of support as well), to have public option for healthcare as a baseline. Instead many of the democrats were "bluedogs" and practically republican.

Republicans like to talk about "follow the will of the people." Obama campaigned on public option for healthcare, he campaigned on raising taxes for the rich... and he overwhelmingly was voted in, far more then you can say for the tea party candidates, and yet they wanted obstruct everything....
