‘I’m Maureen Dowd, and I’ve Been Had’ (Suporters of Obama disappointed)
Pajama Media ^ | March 4, 2009 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 03/04/2009 7:00:54 AM PST by RobinMasters

They may need a support group before the month is out. They could gather in New York or Washington where many victims reside. The meetings would start: “I’m Maureen [or David]. I’m a duped Barack voter. And I’m mad.”

The ranks indeed are filling with the disaffected and the disappointed — Chris Buckley, Maureen Dowd, David Brooks, David Gergen, and even that gynecological sleuth and blogger Andrew Sullivan. And then there is the very angry Marty Peretz. Their complaints are varied but expressed with equal amounts of remorse and bitterness. They all have been done wrong by Barack.

This just proves they are too stupid to think for themsleves but we knew that. Why do they write columns when they do not have a clue about anything. Losers.

It does seem that the honeymoon may be coming to an end.

Many in the media seem to be considering asking for a refund on their kneepads.

The only thing they are upset about is that he has not yet burned the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and a few other important documents and officially declared this country the Islamic Soviet Socialist People's Homosexual Society of Amerika

Come to my place of employment. I am not kidding. It's buyer's remorse. Not with the hardcore, but the duped who are now claiming, “we never voted for this.” Wrong. They did vote for this. they were just too lazy to do pre election research

and yet every other day MSN’s homepage has a poll saying that his approval rate is at an all-time high.

seriously, “all-time high”. He’s been in office a biscuit over 2 months. Gimme a break.

I also read on another thread that Juan Williams from FOX has said he’s astounded by the viciousness of the left and that he’s becoming more conservative.

Did anyone else hear that too? Just wondering if it’s true.

Regardless, the buyers remorse is slowing creeping in and it’s gonna be a beautiful thing to watch.

We need to exploit and nurture this resentment wherever we see it.. encourage them to open their eyes that he isn’t a messiah- frankly, he is a newbie amateur who is screwing up.

Chris Buckley, Maureen Dowd, David Brooks, David Gergen, and even that gynecological sleuth and blogger Andrew Sullivan

So the gang that loves to bash conservatives ... now belatedly discovers that conservatives were correct all along about Obama.

But I doubt they have the integrity to admit we were right.

I don’t think they regret Obama... They just need something to gripe about. It seems the vast majority of Obama supporters, especially the media, are still goo-goo over their dear leader. Unfortunately.

It says volumes about Peggy Noonan that many on the Left now see Obama for who he is, and regret his elevation to the presidency. But Nonnan, last I saw, was still throwing roses at him.

She is a disgusting sycophant.

You got it. I’m not buying this “I’m disappionted, this isn’t what I voted for” stuff. Way too early.

Wait until the June 30 401k statements come out, maybe then I’ll believe it.

The willfully ignorant, in my opinion, are deserving of no less antipathy than those who voted for 0bama because they knew he is a Marxist.

The willfully ignorant had the information available, but refused to look at it because they wanted to

vote for the “cool black guy”
and “be part of an historical event”.

No pity. They need their noses rubbed in it every day, like a puppy that keeps peeing on the floor. The fools may have irreparably harmed our nation this time with their irresponsible idiocy. This time they need to pay for their utopian stupidity.

Oh dear! I guess all the Zeroheadbangers just woke up, noticed the other side of the bed was empty and realized that all that virtual sex they engaged in for 2008 was just another encounter with a lounge lizard’s determination to score.

They didn’t ask the right questions, notice the ring on his finger, nor did they care in their hormone fueled, leg-tingled fantasy.

*Except for the fact that we now have to suffer through four years of the insufferable incompetent wretch and it’s the Media’s Fault!

Not a chance. The press whores who elected Pbama will never, ever turn on him in any significant way. How can they? They tied their jobs and reputations to The Messiah. Now they get to give Obama a Lewinsky even though he is laughing at them. The horror!

Anyone who expresses that they voted for him gets this response from me:

Agree. They're still congratulating themselves over electing a black president. They'll blame it on Pelosi and her gang.

1. We admitted we were powerless over the truth—that our country had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than Obama could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the truth as we never understood it before.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to other liberals the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have David Brooks remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His Will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

I recall the exact same thing! Christopher Buckley wrote something like, “Obama is too smart to actually do what he says he plans to do.” In other words, vote for Obama BECAUSE he's a liar. Unbelievable. Christopher Buckley should be too embarrassed to write about politics ever again.

To be honest I gave the guy a look very early on and all I needed was one news article to tell me O was a shame wow type hack. You could see this coming a mile away. The idiots should have known better than to get sucked it by pretty words. I have no sympathy for them at all. When they turn their back on Gov. Palin there was no turning back for them. They deserve everything that is coming to them ie emails, comments etc.

Many of my fellow Libertarians voted for the guy. I tried to warn them, but to no avail. Now they are starting to see.

Libertarians and conservatives need to stop the bickering and unite. We both agree with the concept of limited, constitutional government and state rights.Us Libertarians voted for Reagan and the 1994 congress.

Let the battle begin. I am willing to fight. The American people know we are right. We just need to articulate it for them

Instinctively, the American people know this stuff isn't good but they somehow believe this guy deserves a chance. A chance to do what? Dismantle the free enterprise system?

Naw, 3-40% of those people are hard core America haters, and knew EXACTLY what they were voting for. Thing is that many of them are cowards, and will feign shock once they see that the tide has turned against the messiah; hiding their true colors.

“But having a first-class temperament and a first-class intellect, President Obama will (I pray, secularly) surely understand that traditional left-politics aren’t going to get us out of this pit we’ve dug for ourselves. If he raises taxes and throws up tariff walls and opens the coffers of the DNC to bribe-money from the special interest groups against whom he has (somewhat disingenuously) railed during the campaign trail, then he will almost certainly reap a whirlwind that will make Katrina look like a balmy summer zephyr.” — Christopher Buckley, worthless moron.
