Proof that Obama is anti-American.
Proof that Obama is anti-free market or private sector.
Proof that he uses the race card perpetually.

Bet'cha can't come up with any.

Obama actually won and he knows it.

Extending unemployment in which the States are responsible for, putting States further in debt.
I agree, too many people think 0bama lost something here.

0bama came to the republicans with a weak threat, that he would raise taxes. 0bama gained a bunch of reelection campaign talking points, and massive unemployment redistribution, which goes onto the backs of the states. All the republicans got in return was the status quo, no tax increases, no tax decreases.

This is where States no longer have any power in our Federal Government.
Elected Senators by the same special interest that elect the House, leaves the States interest off the table, with no representation.

Tripled the number of troops in Afghanistan, extended the tax cuts, isn't for gay marriage, continued with TARP, hasn't ended DODT, continued the Patriot Act provisions (that Repubs now hate all of a sudden) coddles the bankers and big business...why are the righties still crying like little girls?
I would have to agree. It is kind of sickening. I believe he has taken his base for granted. I wonder if there are any democrats in the congress that remember their base. We will see.

Considering the last election result, it seems that their base doesn't remember them.

The better question is, why do any liberals still like the man? Let's face it, he's a failure on ALL fronts. I wish it were more gratifying to say we told you so, but we told you so.

Hope!

Change!!

Let's all sing now... O-bahhhh-maa O-bahhhh-maa O-bahhhh-maa

Really?

He sat in a racists', America-hating pastor's church for 20 years and yet people still claim he's not anti-American or a racist?

He pal'ed around with a known terrorist, Bill Ayers, and he's not anti-American?

He repeatedly makes comments about the "greed" of the private sector, limits their compensation, and he's not anti-private sector?

He has expanded the size and role of the public sector while doing nothing to aid the private sector, and he's not anti-free market?

He must be the Teflon President!

that is because your perspective changed. We disagreed with Bush on a lot of things while he was president, but all you guys were concentrating on the war, Plame Gate and such. Plus we did defend him from some of the most vicious personal attacks against him.

Only to a lib is giving the generals 25% of the minimum number of troops they needed in Afghanistan, is considered giving into the right. 0bama changed the purpose of TARP, was to cowardly to raise taxes on the rich, created $3 trillion in new debt, created 45,000 new federal jobs, created a new trillion dollar federal program in 0bamaCare, bought up two of the big three auto companies, gave billions to unions... and you claim this equals 0bama as Republican-light?

Obama's base officially left him today. It is over. I doubt very seriously if he will get the democratic nomination.

He is toast. Maybe since he knows he will be leaving he will grow a pair.
You mean you didn't like the CHANGE?
