But I didn't vote for Obama for that. I know the issues upside and down. I know where to go to find objective analysis of the issues.

The right wing platform on the issues is repulsive to me.

It has nothing to do with slogans.

Now, right wing lemmings that are clueless to most issues, (not unlike blacks that vote for Obama), that's another matter.

I see how this is, the President and his wittle Men can whine and whine about everyting and then some, but no one else is allowed to have an opinion good bad or indifferent. THEY BLAME EVERYONE AROUND FOR THEIR FAILURES, EXCEPT WHERE THE FINGERS SHOULD BE POINTED, RIGHT BACK AT THEM!

I must say that I agree:

"Hope and Change", "We are the ones we've been waiting for.", "Yes We Can!"

The suckers sure bought it in 2008, but even most of them finally woke up and smelled the mediocrity. The democrat party is gonna be on the ass end of an ass kicking come November.

Default It's a built-in problem....

When your governing philosophy is that you are smarter than the people, and they need you to figure everything out for them and take care of them and protect them, by definition you will get frustrated with how stupid the people are. That is why liberals have a recurring issue with contempt for the people but conservatives rarely do.

The solution is no more votes from the lazy electorate for these liberal candidates. Show them that you have the same confidence in them as they have in you. Let them get by with no votes.

Lazy and uninformed... indeed.

Yesterday Obama said to a crowd of college students, "Change is coming". I think that's the new "Hope and Change".

And I certainly don't mind being motivated to get out the vote, that's the whole point of democracy
Um...no, a democracy is just majority rule - that's why we are a Constitutional Republic.

yes, I blame ignorant voters for putting Obama in the WH. In Nov. we will start to undo that mistake.

Sounds like he about to cash in on all the hope... for change.

Democrats new strategy: blame the voters
I guess blaming Bush didn't work...so who's left to blame?

Certainly not obama and his failed policies.

The Left is NOT happy with the "stop whining" and "buck up" messages.
