How does voting for someone equate to someone setting a house on fire

I like how you used the FOX "News" approach to framing your statements.

The old "some people believe" approach.

Of course I don't regret voting for him, he kept the wolves at bay for 8 years. The added bonus is how angry and unhinged he has made the angry and unhinged.

I hope to keep that streak alive for 8 more years come 2016.

The number of people who benefit from his policy clearly out number those who don't, and they of course, have good thing to say about him. That include many groups from welfare recipients to illegals to ACA beneficiary, etc., etc.

The future does not look good for the Republicans, as the Democrats have found ways to entice the entitled
masses.

The people who "regret" voting for President Obama probably never voted for him in the first place!
Notice how the poll doesn't reflect the opinions here!

I lost respect for him in 2010. I regret voting for him in 2008, back then when I was young and naive on politics.

You are confused. Voting for Obama was nothing more than a first step - yes, he has done a lot of good. But he cannot possibly be the be all, end all. That has to be the actual public. And we saw that with, as an example, republicans who refused to expand Medicare or build health care exchanges. Openly voting against your own citizens getting health care is idiotic and evil, and yet people held rallies in favor of that.

Do I regret voting for Obama? Not at all. But I think it's pathetic that so-called intellectuals and lefties like Michael Moore or Cornell West are attacking him, yet spend no time at all discussing his congressional opponents like Mitch McConnell who has repeatedly abandoned his own position as son as Obama says "hey, that's a good idea."

I still believe in President Obama. He brings civility and wisdom to our public discourse, fairness and equality to the citizenry, and leaves a basket of candy and jelly beans for each of us on Easter Morning.
