When you would argue with people what was your talking points just wondering? I ask because if you voted for him basically because it was cool.
Well I am glad you woke up and hope you dont make that mistake again just voting for the person you think it cool
I feel so many trusted in Obama's words of a new era of HOPE AND CHANGE, he was going to bring a different feel to D.C. YEA RIGHT. Brought a new feel allright, with his thugs in the administration. So many saw a glimmer of hope, and now the only hope so many have, is to pray for some NEW CHANGE.
I know many democratic friends who had voted for him, hoping for truly some really good change, and a new hope for our Country. They have seen their dreams go right down hill. I have many friends that are not only embaressed, but dang right mad, that they fell for all the hoopla. During the Campaign Trial, he was all about being SUGAR AND HONEY, after he got elected, he turned to VINEGAR mighty fast.
what surprised most supporters was the heavy spending i see a one term president in the making. bottom line-- no new jobs and monster new debt, major broken campaign promises.

Blinded by the sensationalism and those flashy props, eh?
What strategic symbolism and oratory skill can do for some.
I bet their mad.
It must be pretty infuriating to really know you were taken for a fool.
OOPS.
PT Barnum knew they could always be counted on through procreation.
He called them SUCKERS and with one born every minute......BO's win was a given.
If McCain wasn't the Republican candidate Obama would have had a harder time getting elected. Conservatives just held their nose and voted for McCain. RINO.
um seriously? That's because McCain IS a Republican. He wouldn't have listened to the Democrats.
McCain is a RINO and is well known for working "across the aisle". Remember McCain-Feingold and the failed McCain-Kennedy amnesty plan? He would have listened to Democrats. With a Democrat controlled Congress, he would have no choice.
I voted for Obama in 2008 and had such high hopes for him. I have only voted in one other election and am a young man but I really thought Obama would have been doing a better job. I am embarrassed when I think about where I was and what I was doing two years ago. I bought an Obama t-shirt and everytime I would wear it I would get fist bumps and high fives from people at the grocery store. Everyone I knew wanted Obama to be the next president and this made it easy for me to connect with people. At the time, it was cool to like Obama and it brought people together. We would argue with anyone who did not like Obama and would think they were just stupid. I now avoid some of those same people I would argue with. I look back on my behavior during the 2008 year and just feel embarrassed about it.

Your brains took over and you shouldn't be emberrassed...the people who are still in denial just because the empty suit act's "cool"...should be emberrassed!
They do it all the time. You can tell exactly right off. They know a lot about what has been discussed over a long period of time but only have like 20 or 30 rep points. Most of the time they immediately go into racial or Homophobic rants. What a bunch of cowards.

I like how you haven't listed anything in particular,just that now you dislike Obama. Thats fine. I wouldn't want a President that was in office just to get another term. He has a job to do. A very tough situation that is not of his own doing and thats OK he knew that when he ran. I want him to just keep plugging away. He will lose some votes but he will gain some also. People in the tea party voted for palin anyway so their vote doesn't matter for Obama. So good for you vote for palin/beck 2012.
