My brother, who is (was?) a huge lib and I talked today a bit on the phone (we usually don’t talk).

He told me he voted R here in Illinois. Straight ticket. First time ever.

He explained why.

He thought Obama was offering hope. He wanted to end racism. He thought he could do that. He now thinks Obama has made it worse, and panders to race. He feels he is no better than Jesse or Rev Al.

Obama promised to work WITH republicans to solve problems. He said he voted for Obama because he was sick of the fighting that went on.

Obama promised to be open, and no more secrets. He said he hated BushCo (his words) because they were the most secretive organization in the world. He now thinks Obama has made Bushes secrets and back room deals look minor.

Obama promised healthcare that would be cheaper and fairer. He has seen his rates go up 40%, and thinks his company will now drop private insurance.

He thought BushCo was the puppet of big business. He says he now realized from all he has read, that Obama has gotten more kickbacks, and given out more money to big biz than Bush x10.

He said Obama promised to be out of Iraq, solve Afghanistan, and deal with Iran. He said cowboy politics were not working. He now wishes there was a cowboy in the white house, but maybe not Bush. He said Afghanistan is a mess, and the media is covering it up. He said we are wasting trillions there when it could be spent on schools (he is still a lib mind you).

All in all, he feels betrayed. My observation is this, you can only truly HATE those you loved. And for folks like my brother, they LOVED Obama. I think this is the start of the hate. Not dislike, but serious HATE beyond what they felt for Bush. I predict by 2012, the media will have turned on him something fierce, as will those who voted for him. Heck, I bet even Mooshelle divorces his ass and gets a tell all book deal. It wouldn’t surprise me.

When you love someone based on lies, there can only be one predictable ending. A nasty nasty break up.

Wow, that must have been one interesting conversation. I believe you’re right, because now that the conservative citizens have rebelled, the former Obamaphiles will be next.

What will be left are the adoring few who will never get it, they got their dream man installed and nothing like facts will change their minds. As long as he’s Black and promises Utopia, they will stay the course. Like the infamous news clip of the lady swooning over O, rejoicing that she no longer had to worry about making her house or insurance payments. Wonder how that’s been working for her?
