I only read the headline that the OP put up...So the large majority voted to regret voting for Obama...I'm just responding the way Pelosi does on health care.....she is stating most are in favor of the health care waste bill

I didn't like the choices I had in the last election. I had a lot of freinds who bought the rhetoric from the Obama camp, both from the left and the right.

I always tell people that he wasn't going to drastically change everything, Republicans and Democrats need to remember that.
ALL politicians say what you want to hear. Maybe it's that I live in New Jersey, where politicians are by default corrupt, so I don't believe what any of them say in the first place.

I really wish this country could get a viable third-party candidate a la Ross Perot or Ron Paul, but the Dems and Repugs won't allow it. And the American sheeple are stupid enough to believe the propaganda that they're "throwing their vote away" if they vote third-party.
I voted for Ross Perot!

I didnt say he didnt work that day I said he was slacking and could be doing more work.

Between the vacations trips to camp david, Bowling, basketball, golf, 26 fundraisers, date nights, use to have weekly parties, going out to a dinner and doing the salsa.

There is nothing in the oval office he could have been doing?

One president goes jogging, another works out on the in house gym, another rides his bicycle, another plays golf, another plays a game of basketball. What in the world is the difference. They all realize that it is important that they do some healthy exercise to keep themselves fit and able to deal with the most stressful job in the world. And for that one of them is called a slacker. Gee....wonder which one. Gee...wonder why.

Being the President is a 24/7 job. So he takes some time off..he's "on the job" more than he's off and even when he's off he's still "on call".

Default Who Voted for Obama and Regrets It

I was just wondering who here voted for Obama and now regrets it .

Seems his promises were not kept about war , economy , and especially ' change '. Since he just rehired just about the whole Clinton Whitehouse staff and put in some of the most vile zars in our history .

Campaign promises...

49 promises kept
7 promises broken

PolitiFact | The Obameter: Tracking Barack Obama's Campaign Promises

But go ahead and continue with vague repetitions (change, where's the change?) of false right-wing rhetoric.
