Ah, more good news from a nefarious blog site:

Quote:
A crowd of twentysomething true believers followed Obama from the campaign to Washington. But 18 months in, the "Yes We Can" crowd is losing faith.
Quote:
“It’s cool to my family, or the girl that I meet at the bar, but in terms of day-to-day work—am I really doing the change we can believe in?” asked one Iowa veteran. “Probably not. And it is very much of a shock.”
Reminds me of the words in a song by BB King: "The thrill is gone, baby!"

I guess they finally realized that empty slogans of hopenchange don't put food om the table or beer in the fridge.

Not surprising that the PlayStation generation would get bored, and look for something else to entertain them.

Anyone that thought lasting change would occur easily in 500 days should quit.

Exactly. We got a bunch of "change didn't happen fast enough, I quit" types in this country. Cowards afraid of buckling down and putting effort in.

Even the most naive of Obama supporters have figured out by now that Obama has lied since his campaign and right up to the present.

How do you know Obama is lying? His lips are moving.

The "Me, me, me", "gotta have it now" generation isn't impressed with the real world.

Blah, blah, blah. dObama has already made sweeping change to healthcare, is about to do the same with the financial industry, with energy and immigration coming up.

You haters act like Obama can do everything he said he would in one day. The guy has done more in 500 days than most Presidents do in 4 or 8 years. No lies there.
