LEMME TELL YA SOMETIN"

The coffee was still brewing when Chris Ann Cleland got her first reminder of the day that voting for Barack Obama might have been a mistake.
The Prince William County real estate agent was sitting at a long wooden table covered with paperwork. Her clients, a young couple who had brought their 2-week-old baby, were finalizing a short sale on a townhouse that they were anxious to unload, even if it meant ruining their credit, because they had maxed out their credit cards trying to make the payments.
For Cleland, it was another example -- one of many this day -- of the broken promises of a president who she thought would be different. Obama pledged to change a Washington culture that favored corporations and the connected and lift families such as the one sitting next to Cleland out of their economic funk. Instead, she said, Obama handed billions of dollars to banks that continue to "act like they're broke" and started the country down a path that Cleland said she thinks will lead to more grief for the middle class.
"He's just not as advertised," she said. "Nothing's changed for the common guy. I feel like I've been punked."

sounds like the Washington Post is getting pissed!!!!
‘bout time!
You were, dipstick.
Well gal. Let me be the millionth to tell ya (but you didn’t listen to us before the election), You HAVE been punked.
Honeymoons over. Even the Washington Compost is telling the truth about what voters are thinking.
You voted for him, you go to Hell with him.
Wonder where the woman is who figured zero would pay her mortgage and put gas in her car. HA. She’s probably blaming everyone but zero.
Well, punked isn’t the word I’d use but mine does have a “u” and a “k” in it.
Obama bailed out his buddies on Wall Street, his buddies in union leadership, and his buddies in Congress. He doesn’t give a damn about those that make America great.
He’s just not as advertised,” she said. Nothing’s changed for the common guy. Where’s the free stuff? Where’s the guy who was gonna make my mortgage payments for me while he pumped free gas into my Nissan?”

Hey... great post :)
He may not be what was advertised but he is what he said he was.
“He’s just not as advertised,” she said. “Nothing’s changed for the common guy. I feel like I’ve been punked.”
No dumbas* - morons like you who voted for Hussein punked America. Now we are stuck with this POS.
Obama 2008
Biden 2009
You think you were punked? You just weren’t paying attention!
perfect 10
She could get a clue by checking into the story of Juan Peron.
Lotta people got "punked" by him, too. (is that what they're calling it now?)
I’m trying to figure out why these Obama people feel betrayed. This Marxist SOB told us what he was all about BEFORE the election.
But I suppose the dumb asses who voted for him never fully understood — or never understood AT ALL — that Marxism is all about SHARING THE MISERY. Execpt, of course, for those who manipulated and lied themselves to the top of the anthill.
Welcome to YOUR party, FOOLS!!!!
If you don’t mind, the rest of us will be leaving early.
Wow, this got past the WP editors - amazing.
“Nothing’s changed for the common guy. I feel like I’ve been punked.”
This would be great for a Tagline.
All of this "he was supposed to be for the little guy, but he hasn't proved it yet" bilge is nothing more than blatant advocacy journalism from Ms. Somashekhar --- advocating that the Kenyan Clown push even harder to the left.
Exactly what do you mean by that term Chris Ann? Surely, you don't mean.....uh, never mind....
The only thing that will fall harder than middle class America under obama will be the msm’s credibility with middle America.
A multi-prong attack with a pincer movement to cover any retreat to the enemy and to top it all off..we bomb their latrines!
We will not forget what the left did to Sarah Palin, we will not allow free speech to be silenced, we will TAKE BACK AMERICA.
Dirty deeds done dirt cheap.
Stupid moron. More proof that basic intelligence tests should be a requirement for voting.
As far as I am concerned they can all go to hell. I don’tcare about their remorse. They should have thought before they voted for the sob.
I hear you. I know a couple who I thought had good sense until they announced they were for 0bama, because he was going to stop the war and give them free health care. I haven’t spoken to them since.
Virgina Poll: 14% of Obama voters will vote Republican for Governor

Sadly true. Lots of gullible people got caught up in the wave.
Your reference to the Peron era is really interesting...I'm thinking of picking up a biography. Have you a suggestion?
yeah that might be happening on a larger scale as obama realism unfolds.
No shit! I wonder how many of those suckers will come to realize how dumb they were to be taken in by the Liberal Messiah.
Now don't you think that's a little harsh?
Damn right it is! I love it!
Wait until the idiot union coal miners get their portion of the obama pie — cap and trade! Enjoy the unemployment because your business is too “dirty”.
The president will make his first appearance in the [Virginia Gubernatorial] campaign Thursday, when he headlines a fundraiser for R. Creigh Deeds (D) in McLean, in part to try to help the state senator from Bath County win over wavering Democrats such as Cleland.
Anybody in VA teaparty, VA Freepers, other patriots reading this who can find out the particulars of this McLean, VA Dem fundraiser, and rustle up a Freep of the event?
Pinging some DC area Freepers who may be interested, or who can spread the word to other interested parties.
Welcome to the party, pal. Where the hell has your common sense been all this time?
B.S. Chris....!!
All you had to do was read his book, study his life, and you should have known exactly what he was all about.
That's what happens when you let Government Media tell you the "news"........
SOME......no huge numbers are p*ssed big time...look at that election in Delaware...WOW...if they’d stuck with republicans it would be much better...right now we are so screwed...I said that so many times election night...
Not as advertisied? Well I guess her ears were not open or she was listeneing to the lame stream media I heard” We cant eat as much as we want, we cant drive our cars we cant cool our houses at 72” alos did she hear Michelle-”obama will never let you go back to the way it was.” All I can say is that womman is stpid B**** oh and thanks alot
Ha! I love it!....
There are still plenty of those who feel a tingle going up their legs when they think of Obama. As a Catholic I can only shake my head in disbelief when I think of the 53% of Catholic voters who put him over the top even after all the warnings they heard from Church leaders before the election took place.
The ones that I know still don’t regret their foolish decision of having voted for him. I always tell them to look at their kids. All that these will possibly have in the future is some piece of dirt to stand on and breathe a prearranged portion of socialist air.
Perfect. Obama is a fad gone bad but is turning into soooo last year.
Two out of three is enough to win with!
"You F----d Up, You Trusted Us!"
Nice post. Three people who have voted democrat including one Republican and one who switches from time to time - now two out of three are ready for a change...one that happens instead of a magic show that shows you’ve been fooled when they pull away the curtain.
