That is how I felt about Bush, too. We all survived. You will, too.

Irresponsible voters vote for irresponsible politicians. Frank, Pelosi, Obama.

It is shameful that lefties elected a socialist as President. Bigger, bigger government and extremely wasteful spending. Is this really what you want?

It is apparent that half of America does not think things through.

National health care ( more money ), cap & trade ( more money ), socialist programs ( more money ), bailouts ( more money ), printing one trillion dollars ( more money ), impending tax increases ( more money ).

It is apparent that half of America does not think at all.


Why did Americans vote for an administration that includes Hillary Clinton, Kerry, Kennedy, Reid and Barney Frank? What did these American voters expect to happen? For the good of the country.

America is going down the toilet because of these socialists. You and I will pay for it, and so will our great, great grandchildren.

America is in this situation because of brain damaged voters who are really unconcerned about this country. They voted for Barack because it was cool. Not because it would be good for us. WHICH IT IS NOT.

Joe Biden? Come on.

You're getting screwed. And think about the political implications ( pay backs ) concerning unions and community organizations like ACORN.

Get out your checkbook and smile as you sign.

I disagree.

Some people continue to be distracted by the bright, shiny package which is Obama. They'll squeeze their eyes shut and won't even peak at what's inside.

They'll open their mouths wide and swallow whatever he gives them - even if it's a slimy, rotten ham sandwich on moldy bread. They'll take a bite and force a smile and insist that it is just the best thing they ever tasted.....

If Obama ends up being as bad as you think, you likely have George W. Bush to blame for it. Can you blame people for voting for the exact opposite after the eight years he served? I voted for Obama and I'm certainly not dumb. I read one of his books and I did a ton of research. I never thought he was a savior but this is the key...

I thought he was the best of the available candidates.

Do I support the bailouts? No and if you don't believe, I challenge you to find one post in which I say that I do. Do you think John McCain wouldn't have used bailouts? If so, you're kidding yourself. He would have done the exact same thing especially following the person that started this mess: George W. Bush.

The brain damaged voted for him because they think they will get something out of it for themselves. Handouts without working, interested only in what their country can do for them. And the Antithesis to John Kennedy is hoodwinking them into thinking they will get said goodies. Repugnant that John Kennedy's famous quote has become so twisted and misused.

I voted for Obama for free goodies? Of course, that's why I busted my butt to finish my degree this year while working full-time. That's why I also busted my butt to earn a promotion and pay raise so that I can support my family. Makes a lot of sense.

Then you are a rare breed of Obama supporter.

Congrats on your hard work. So we finally found an Obama supporter who worked and earned something. Yea!!

I'd like to know what "free goodies" I supposedly was trying to get by voting for Obama. And let's not forget the greediest times of all, the "What's in it for me 1980s". Who was president then? Why Ronald Reagan.

I agree with the congrats, but it's a crock of s*** that all but one Obama supporter are not working and earning things. I'm for one sick of that characterization.

Reagan was greedy? No he actually felt one should be responsible for themselves instead of stealing from the haves and hand it to the have nots.

Sick of it or not, majority of Obama voters are standing in line for the free lunch box of goodies from those of us who have something and actually earned it.

Come on, most, but not all Obama voters are welfare types and you know it. Acorn told them to register and sign the form with an "X" and most of them cannot spell their own name or even write. That is why they had to vote 10 times for Obama, they could not get the X correct!

If you see a car loaded with overweight dirty people and the car is falling apart you bet it is full of Obama voters. The Obama stickers are holding the car together.
