"You F----d Up, You Trusted Us!"

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."

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.
And illegally immigrate into the country much faster as well.
Exactly. I don't get any sense of real hope for America from this article. The "people" are pissed that O-hole hasn't distributed enough wealth their way yet. Not that they have come to view him as a Marxist pig.
BE THERE!
This SO true. And it's the reason we're ultimately doomed in this country. DeToqueville was right. (See tagline.)
God help my TWO kids.
Do you know where in McLean?
ABOUT TIME!!

Deeds Pulls in the President
President Barack Obama will travel across the river on Aug. 6 for a fundraiser for Democratic gubernatorial contender Creigh Deeds at the McLean Hilton, the Deeds campaign confirmed this evening.
Obama will also appear at some kind of public function that day, Deeds spokeman Jared Leopold said. Invitations for the fundraiser went out a couple of days ago.
HokieMom, I pinged you, too, because you asked about more specific information.
I hope you all still have time on such short notice to arrange for buses, bag lunches, smokes, and cash and gifts for your protest participants. (/sarc)
In all seriousness, I hope there is some interest in keeping the momentum going, in pushing Obama's poll numbers further downward, and taking many, many other Democrat pols and candidates down with him. And I hope you can manage a great Freep with great turnout.
It looks like BufordP already has a good sign ready to go.
Good Luck and Godspeed, Virginians!
Thanks, will see what can be done.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama will cross the Potomac River on Aug. 6 to campaign for Deeds. He will attend a public rally and private fundraiser at the McLean Hilton Hotel in Tysons Corner.

Obama to Campaign for Deeds
July 23, 2009
President Barack Obama will come to the Commonwealth Aug. 6 to campaign for Democratic gubernatorial nominee Creigh Deeds.
Mr. Obama will headline a fundraiser in McLean, which should help swell Deeds’ war chest. The president will also attend a public rally. Details for that event are still being adjusted.
UPDATE, Friday 4:42 p.m. –
The event details are out, per the Deeds team:
Rally with Creigh Deeds, President Obama and Gov. Kaine
Aug. 6, 5:00 p.m.
Hilton McLean Tysons Corner, 7920 Jones Branch Drive, McLean
So, it appears the public rally, for the peasants is first, at 5pm; and then the caviar and cocktails event for the deep pockets donors will be after.
ObamaBots can be violent, especially now, with their hero, Zero, tanking in the polls.
