Whine, whine, whine. All some people can do is whine about Obama and complain. I guess that's how life is when the voters have decided that you're unfit to hold office.

Another day, another whine, another cheap Rasmussen poll. Yippee.

There is no remorse, especially when reminded of the "other" choice we had. FYI, it is obvious that there are some within the righthanded propaganda machine that spend a lot of time trying to find Demos that are willing to say what they want to hear, in some cases such as Joe the Plumber they are not above making something sound differently than what was actually meant, you know, lieing just a little, ok, a whole lot, Let's see, Obama is a Commi, Obama is a Socialist, Obama is a Muslim, Obama backs terrorists, Obama is not a natural born American, Obama is taking away your rights, Obama is going to tax us into poor house, Obama is going to take away your guns.......... just to name a few examples of the lies. Sad part is they have not figured out that most Americans are on to them and no longer believe any of their BS, only the faithful sheep lap it up with gusto and then run off claim they know the truth, sad, very sad

Most of your words work very well on the present state of affairs, but we have to look to the fact that there is a veto pen available and the Congress could never manage to override The One's veto but he won't use it on the things we need him for.

It was mentioned above that Republicans gave very little choice in the election and that is surely true however their choice would not allow this monstrosity of a Health care bill go through and the veto would kill it. The Congresss could make everything better if they weren't trying so hard to push progressivism, which of course fits right in with Obama's state of mind.

Thanks, but America made the best decision in 2008, and we much improved the situation over Bush. And, no matter how much you whine, a large majority of Americans are still happy with that decision.

Your warning is still wrong.
Tell your story to the millions of OMG voters we now have in our country.

Is this the new "who regrets voting for Obama thread"? Of course if you read the whole link there are some people who still support Obama but I know that's not what the thread is about so I'll ignore those.

“I’m afraid I wasn’t realistic,” Ms. McAreavy, 76, a retired school nurse, said on a recent morning on the deck of her home here in east-central Iowa.

“I really thought there would be immediate change,” she said. “
And there in fact is the problem. She was not realistic and like so many others believed he had magical powers to change the world overnight.

Quote:
And a teacher who voted for Mr. Obama because she was fed up with President George W. Bush does not trust this administration any more than the previous one.
And here is another problem; she voted for the wrong reason.

If you voted based on the wrong reason or unrealistic beliefs, it's your own fault and hopefully if you're able to vote in the next election you'll pay closer attention.

I know why talk about what the president of this country is doing or isnt doing. Or the direction of this country or how people feel about Obama and the job he is doing.


Lets just sit here and talk about how terrible Bush was and what if McCain won. Lets ignore Obama and democrats

I believe that I have said that McCain would have probably held his veto pen and forced it to write that word on this health care bill and on crap and tax when it comes around.

I had a real time squeezing my nose and voting for McCain but it was for this very reason that I did it. I knew what this Congress was going to be like and just wanted someone who would fight them in the chair.

McBama - Same sh*t, different pile.

In other words, the 2008 election was an exercise in futility for those of us with logic and pragmatism. However, that doesn't mean we opted to vote with a tingling feeling running up our collective legs. Everyone knew that Obama would be elected, but i'm not sure so many people thought they'd be saying "damn, what did I do?" within 9 short months.
