Many people who voted for Obama do not support his views anymore. Why?

4. Drones;
5. Horrible roll-out of Obamacare;
6. Lying about being able to keep your doctor and/or old insurance policy; and
7. Slow growth of economy.

I'm sure there are other reasons, but those are just a few off the top of my head that ANYONE, conservative or liberal, ought to be disappointed in with Obama.

So our arguments are reduced to accusations with no facts (spying increased? ), military protection of the petro-dollar, criticism of a fixed problem, a politician lying , and acknowledgement of economic growth (it just isn't fast enough for the never pleased crowd)?

I swear the right-wing rhetoric has infected this country.

Didn't Obama also promise to close Guantanamo? Last i checked that camp is still running operations.

This is my thoughts. And that's why they push that blacks and the poor can't get a proper voter ID. We have now joined the ranks of illusion of choice. Just like Assad was "elected".

That's so unfair to Mitt Romney. He wasn't pretending. I honestly think Romney is a good person, and would have been an excellent president. My only issue with Romney was his foreign policy advisors, but turns out he couldn't have been any worse than Obama. I don't think he would have gotten us in any more wars, though I know people feared that.

Yes, the scope of the NSAs gathering of communications was broadened for one.

"Spying was increased"

Many people voted for him because he campaigned on promises of change and hope. Well he hasn't done anything but ruin America IMO. I did not vote for him because I thought he was a false prophet. The American people have turned their backs on him because they are still "hoping" for "change."
