Comments on: How Many Obama Voters Feel Let Down? http://pjmedia.com/blog/how-many-obama-voters-feel-let-down/ Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:24:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: M Mouton http://pjmedia.com/blog/how-many-obama-voters-feel-let-down/#comment-586620 M Mouton Mon, 12 Jul 2010 21:34:58 +0000 http://pajamasmedia.com/?p=63344#comment-586620 I am so sick and tired of the Left whining about Obama's broken promises. The truth is they expected (are still are expecting) too much of him too fast. I adamantly support Obama and always will. He is the best thing that has happened to this country. But I did not expect him to change everything all at once and right away. That is impossible for anyone to do considering the push-back he faced (and still is facing) from the Right. Obama has done the very best he can do in the time he's been in office so far. I believe in his vision, but change takes a lot of time. He's moving the country in the right direction and with loyal support from the Left, he will continue to make progress in meeting the goals he promised he'd make. Give him time and space to turn the status quo around--it's like turning the Titanic around, it takes time and consistent work. Even if we Left do not get all of what we want from current legislation, it is a step in the right direction, a base level to be added onto in the future. Do not give up on Obama, his vision and his administration. Obama is a pragmatic politician and change-maker--I knew that going into his election and have not been disappointed. Lefties need to realize and accept this in order see their goals accomplished sooner or later. What the Left needs to also do is become much more vocal about supporting Obama and the successes he has accomplished. The Left needs a much higher media profile in order to counter the 24/7 messages of the Right. The Left has a great responsibility to maintain it's power and influence. I still believe. Yes we can!!!

Yet, we all feel that we are still in the same boat as we were under the Bush Administration... If we begin to analyze, nothing has really changed... There is no serious push for a real green economy. We haven't brought our troops back home, and we are now sending more to Afghanistan. He tried to pass health reform, and from what it looks like, people like myself (Crohns Disease Patient) we will still be discriminated against because of our preexisting condition (s). The Israeli Government laughed in his face when he tried to stop the settlement building (major stepping stone in 2 state solution) although we are still providing billions upon billions to that country, while politicians are screaming mad about any money that we decide to spend here at home & our country bankrupts from the inside out... The American People are beginning to feel as if there is no point in even voting anymore. What is the point? Let's be honest with ourselves... I doubt that votes have even mattered in the past 10 years... There is no difference between this president & the last president. I guess color really doesn't matter... It's obvious that this is exactly what they want. Democrats vs Republicans, and we idiots eat it up! We argue all the different reasons why one is better than the other, but in reality, we are still in the same filthy boat as we were under the last administration... One is no different than the other. To say that there is a difference is a hoax... They enjoy it when the public enters into these arguments because it just leads us further & further away from the truth... Both parties are puppets controlled by the same ventriloquist! So I ask again, what is the point of even voting... It's no wonder Ron Paul wasn't chosen to run...

Something they share with our president. Not that bush was any great prize in that area, but the current administartion has made it so much worse. And for those of you on the left who sneer at the tea party phenomenon, watch it very closely. Not what they say, but who is saying it. It is a truly bipartisan movement and is has the very real chance of changing the way this country is run. You dismiss it at your own risk.

Obama is endeavoring to institute monumental changes that will reach well beyond his term(s) in office, and probably beyond the current generation. 2. At the moment, the Congress is controlled by the incumbent's party, and the not-so-moderate wing of that party. If the GOP controlled Congress there would probably be as much pork but it would have a leavening effect on Obama's ambitions. 3. In matters of life or death, like foreign affairs, his willingness to criticize America and kowtow to assorted dictators advertises a reluctance to defend the U.S. vigorously.

Elect a socialist with a history of radical leftist beliefs and better not be surprised when you end up with a set of socialist/radical leftist legislative packages. Seriously, if you voted for Obama and you're shocked-- shocked!-- by what's happening, just don't vote next time. You clearly don't have a grasp of how important voting is and how crucial it is to educate yourself on the candidates BEFORE you wander aimlessly into the ballot box and start blindly punching holes.

This has sobered up quite a few people, just like in the UK, when Labour 'reclassified' Cannabis (well, they changed the letter from B to C and increased C penalties to match the old B), now they moved Cannabis up to B. Dope smokers usually are leftie-types and quite a few were cured of their Labour addiction after they realised that they had gotted stiffed by Tony and Friends. Karma ran over their dogma... ;-D You forgot to mention the huge number of dope smokers who were promised legalisation by Obama.

How about his registration with Selective Service? Isn't that a law too - especially when applying for financial aid to go to college. Okay, let’s put the birth certificate aside.

Fool them into following you then care a less about the promises made to useful idiots that got you there. A wolf in sheep's clothing, call it what you like but the sheeple followed the wolf and there are still three and a half more years of this to go. Like the old BTO song goes; "You aint seen nothing yet" That’s what useful idiots are good for.
