I'm 47. I've voted every presidential election since I was 18, and most gubernatorial and Congressional elections as well.
I voted for Obama, and not only do I not feel like an idiot, I wasn't an idiot to vote that way.
I stand by my vote. The country was driven to a crisis, and reasonable adults know that major national crises don't always get resolved in one year. Even individual corporations can take longer to turn around; yet today we have a nation with a sizeable number of short-attention-span "adults" who instead of showing resolve and a can-do attitude, want to tear everything down because they're angry their politician didn't win.
Considering his approval ratings are around the % of the vote he got, his disapproval #'s are a bit lower than the % of the vote McCain got and his net approval (approval-disapproval) is a little more than double his Popular vote margin I would say no.
Common sense says that many people who voted for Obama must feel like complete idiots now. So many were first time voters or young kids that have not lived long enough to know any better. Having Obama as president for the next four years will help to educate America's youth as to the consequences of voting for someone like him for president. This will wake up much of the youth and teach them to not be so gullible. 20 years from now the same naive people that voted for Obama will be able to better educate thier kids as to the importance of voting wisely. This is something positive about having someone like Obama as the president in our current times.
HAHAHA yes kids learn your lesson and vote Palin 2012 DO you not realize your the reason Obama won the election. You gave people the other option of McCain Palin. IF you retards would of voted for Ron Paul in the primarys or even Romney(people that actually understand how the economy works) then maybe Obama doesn't get elected. Stop blaming everybody else for you being responsible for the lack of other options.
The choice was between Obama and John ("I don't understand the economy and wish interest rates were zero") McCain and running mate Sarah ("I can see Russia from my house") Palin. Americans made the obvious choice. Republicans should have run with Romney.
Tina Fey said that, not SP; the fact that you attribute the quote to Palin shows what an utter failure our mass media is, and how truly uninformed the general populace is.

Angry because "their politician didn't win" is your assessment of why this country is closer to the verge of revolt than its been in 200 years?
And you say those folks have a short attention span?
Wake up, man. It has nothing to do with John McCain, rest assured. If you can't see the writing on the wall, then perhaps it should come as no surprise to us that you voted for Barack Obama.

Ironic that someone who refers to others as "retards" does not know the difference between your and you're.

This is like the third thread on this same subject.
And NO-I do not feel like an idiot for voting him in. I would feel like an idiot if I voted for Bush twice though.

Unfortunately, the media are not failures. They achieve their desired impact. They prop up their liberal idols.
