This website invites those who voted for Obama and now regret it to post their comments. There are about 1000 posts at the time of this writing and their goal is two million. Those who did not vote for Obama are invited to post comments made by friends or family who now regret voting for Obama. I encourage anyone interested to go to the site and post - but I hope that those of us who are infuriated by Obama will not use it to bash prior Obama voters. This opportunity for them to post Obama voter regrets can play an important role in allowing 'hold outs' who keep Hoping for Change to 'face' what he really is and it won't help them to see partisan commentary.
LOL - someone sent me that in an email this morning
We have to let them get in touch with their FEELINGS in a safe place.

"I'm so sorry I voted for Obama"
he's too middle of the road for them!
to the folks at that site i say...”come over to the right side, we have cookies.”
Well it’s a little late to be sorry now. Our Founders never intended for mass democracy and for good reason. At the founding, only property owning males were permitted to vote in elections, the president was elected by the Electoral College, U.S. Senators were elected by the state legislatures. There was and ARE good reasons for such a system: The Founders created a limited government republic. Unfortunately we have transitioned to an unlimited government democracy which is turning us into a socialist state.
Love the Comments!!!
Obama stinks! He was supposed to pay my mortgage!! I seriously regret voting for this con-man! Never again!
I voted for Obama because um well Michelle had this dress on and well she looked at me and winked. And that’s it.
From someone calling them selves BigFatFatty:
“I had great hopes for the man. After he was elected I thought it would be good for the country. A time to heal after the past 8 years. Boy was I wrong. The man has done a complete 180 from the guy he portrayed himself to be. It is very discouraging now watching him run the country. He has no experience (cant believe I am saying that), is economically incompetent, and is driving this country toward socialism as fast as he can. So ashamed. Really I am.”
I don’t care THAT much how they feel. I care whether they object with placards and comments at townhalls. And if reading thousands of comments posted by fellow voters who have ‘faced’ what he is helps get hold-outs to openly object to what he says and does, and get some to stop idolizing him then by all means - let’s give them a safe place to get in touch with their feelings. I’d like reality to result in greater ratings dives when the man commandeers the networks to talk about himself etc. I want him to lose his followers.
I'd like to see those gone by the next time I go home.
Well, they coulda thought before they pulled the lever, I did!
| Caught this from the comments section of a Wall Street Journal story today: |
If I had a time machine, in addition to going back and changing a few things I did as a teenager, I'd change my vote back to Hillary. I can't even believe I let my wife and I get talked into supporting this liar.
President Obama is such a disappointment. He's kept only a couple of promises, even though the good guys control Congress. He's not uniting the nation like he promised either. He's not bringing us together - he's tearing us apart as he tries to increase his approval ratings.
I wanted him to be the first black president and he is. He's such a screw up, but it's not because of his skin color. It's because he doesn't know how to lead. There was a time I was worried about being called a racist for saying such things. Now I don't care anymore.
Obama is the most awful president we could have possibly gotten — even Dean would have done better.
I have lost faith in the Hope Barack has not brought to us. I do not trust what he says anymore. When he opens his mouth, nothing but lies fly out.
Like Rush says, “Once trust is lost, you cannot gain it back.”
I wonder if "relationship therapy" will be covered in Obamacare — the Independent who voted for Barack are going to need it.
In my area, I haven’t seen nearly the amount of Obama commemorative magazine that I used to.
And the area I reside in is highly blue.
You said — “This website invites those who voted for Obama and now regret it to post their comments. There are about 1000 posts at the time of this writing and their goal is two million.”

Well..., they better make the goal 5 million, if they want to make a difference. That’s what it will take to get to a “break-even point” for the figures in the last election...
Well, we tried to tell you folks...
Big Fat Fatty should go clear his head and take a nice crap. A time to heal. What an idiot. Fatty will heal when he gets a suicide bomber at the mall he visits one day! Americans have no idea what danger they are in!
No sympathy. 0butthole didn’t do much at all to hide what he is. Anyone who voted for him is a communist a racist or too dumb and lazy to inform themselves.
The comment in bold is what identifies this person as a racist not the other ones.
You are absolutely RIGHT! Only one small quibble: Please don’t fall into the politically correct trap of calling the Founding Fathers the Founders. Did you hear about the latest with the text books? They’re banning “Founding Fathers”. They must be refered to now as the “Founders”. Complete b*llsh*t!
So sorry...the the last thing I would want to be accused of is being PC.
BTW it wouldn’t hurt my feelings if we reintroduced poll taxes and literacy tests for voters.
'I "Wee Weed"
Gibbs said he said so.
She’s funny. Quite the actress, really.
I know a couple of people in my extended family who said something just like that last September.
One said, “it’s about time we try a black president.”
I just looked at her with amazement at the time, ignoring the racial overtones, and said that perhaps she should look at the candidate’s track records, else “we” should get ANY black man off the street.
The logic was lost on her.
Don’t underestimate the power of “white guilt” in the last election.
Hopefully those same people who fell for it with Obama will look PAST skin color next time around and simply elect the best PERSON to be president.
LOL “Big Fat Fatty” —Glenn Beck uses those exact words (mostly in reference to himself)—so this one may not be legit either! But they are fun to read!
I don’t believe anyone is asking for sympathy. I am not. I don’t think those posting on the site are either. I believe it is deep regret and beyond it - an opportunity for them to face their regret and move - to start objecting like we have been all along. I believe some Obama voters still support him because they don’t want to admit they were wrong and they don’t want to admit just what he is. Whatever gets them to move past their regretful hesitancy and start raising their voices, sending emails, making phone calls to halt this disaster works for me.
"White guilt" only works on people whose views are essentially racist. That may be difficult for them to understand and then face but it is obvious that their view of other people is more strongly influenced by recognition of skin color than it is by content of character. They should be the last ones to ever hold up Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as a hero because they aren't honoring the essence of his message at all.
We didn’t base our vote against him on his ethnicity and his epic failure is not based on his color, but based on his lack of character and substance.
Next, we will be accused of harboring the bigoted belief that Obama failed because of his color, not because of the valid reasons we voted against him in the first place.
The truth is more painful than Dems will admit - they were practicing racist affirmative action on the highest office in the land and we were color blind, like Lady Liberty, but character conscious.
Good comment from the website asking why MSN didn’t catch different reactions between Gates and Bob Dylan when asked to identify themselves:
“I really thought that having a multi-ethnic (or African American) PRESIDENT, we would be able to heal race-relations quite a bit in this country. But the “post-racial” President hasn’t done much to inspire equality in treatment. Disagreement with him or his policies are portrayed as “racist”. Some talking head said that “Socialism” is just coded language for “N****R”. WTF? We all need to lay down our pain of discrimination a bit—in order to move forward. The Prof Gates incident really disgusted me. When the cops didn’t know who Bob Dylan was, and he didn’t have ID, he was polite and cooperative, and had the cops drive him back to the hotel so his band could vouch for him. CNN reported this, but didn’t draw the parallel between Prof Gates and his racist freak-out causing a national news story—and Dylan (easily WAY more famous) and his respectful and mellow reaction.”
I think we should be sympathetic and welcome them with open arms into the movement that will hopefully be able to stop this administration and this congress from socializing this country. I think they are a lot of “blue dog” democrats out there from the Bible belt, who just don’t understand yet what the Democratic Party in Washington has become. We should go easy on ‘em, so as not to have them reject conservatism. Maybe they will come away from the dark side. :)
I've already emailed some family and past friends who were duped into the Obama vote. Hopefully they'll wake up, too.
