They never supported his views. They voted for him because he was black.
Which is in and of itself a complete farce. Those who voted for him because he was "black" had to completely ignore that he is also "half white". It takes someone who is intellectually dishonest, someone who is fundamentally disingenuous, and someone whose mental and ideological capacity is somewhere near that of a baboon to convince themselves that they voted for the "first black President."
This was, of course, aided by a slobbering mainstream media. And more ironically, the black half of this President was a deadbeat dad. The white half of this President is what made him into the man that he is (for better or worse).
Barack Obama is an anomaly. A blight on America's history. A walking, talking farce of a man.
This is nothing new; I stopped supporting Obama in 2009 when it became glaringly obvious that he intended on doing nothing to stop the Globalist Neo-Con policies of Bush. You act like he has been consistent with what he claimed his policies would be while campaigning in 2008. He has done a complete 180.
There are far too many examples and it's kind of sad that many supposed anti-war, anti-corporate collusion, anti-Wall Street/Federal Reserve, anti-war on drugs, anti-GMO Democrats can still justify their support for such a Puppet to the system and a fraud at that.
Some excerpts of something I wrote from a couple years ago
I voted for Obama in 2008, but 4 years later it should be clear to anybody that he is simply a continuation of the disastrous Bush administration. In fact, the resemblance is uncanny.
He kept the same Secretary of Defense until last Summer and followed what was written in the Bush Doctrine, calling for removal from Afghanistan in 2014. His aggressive use of drones and troop surges were a surprise, as all he campaigned on in 2008 was "bringing the troops home". He has even slated some prisoners in Guantanamo Bay for "permanent detention", while stepping up "state secrets", lessening the chance of prosecution for war crimes.
He renewed the nineteen eighty four-ish Patriot Act and even introduced legislature that strip away more citizen freedoms--like NDAA, making Americans subject to detention without trial.
He campaigned on "Making Wall Street accountable". He then re-appointed Bush's pick for Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke (after the economic crash that Bernanke so thoroughly failed to foresee).
He kept the Corporate Welfare checks and bailouts flowing, ensuring that nobody would be helped in a poor economy except those that were rich enough to buy reps and change the rules to ultimately destroy it.
He appointed former Monsanto VP, Michael Taylor as senior advisor for the FDA. He surrounded his economic team with Goldman Sach's. He promised to leave alone state-legal marijuana dispensaries and their diverse medical patients, then had the DEA bulldoze their way in, in a surge worse than anything seen under the Bush years.
He's been a serious disappointment in many ways, and I defected to the Libertarian candidate, Gov. Johnson, in 2012.
Having said that, I don't wish McCain or Romney had won. We ended the evil occupation of Iraq (over the objection of most of the blood-fanged GOP) and are winding down in Afghanistan. That's a bit of consolation.
The majority of Democrats that I know support Obama. He is the face of their party.
There are some people who felt like the man was supposed to work miracles and are angry that he did not. That was delusional on their part.
For me, the libertarian party is most closely aligned with my views. I read enough about it and began to identify with the party at the during my last year of school. It had nothing to do with Obama.
Most people who voted for Obama didn't agree with every single one of his positions to begin with. Just like most people who voted for Romney didn't agree with every single one of his positions. People vote for the candidate that best represents them on the issues they care most about. And their positions shift, their priorities shift, and so does the President's.
