I don’t know, I was shocked when Obama was elected. Although McCain was a loser. I was quite dumbfounded that people would elect someone who could not wear a flag, put his hand over his heart and was basically a Muslim.
Then, I thought they will never pass this idiotic health care bill and I was deeply disappointed again.
This time I am not going to send my self into depression and
try to avoid getting pulled into the emotions of this elections, It is a health issue

2008 was a warning shot over the bow of the Republican party. “Stop acting like Democrats”. Obama gave rise to the largest political activism from conservatives that I’ve ever seen. The Republican party better wake up and get their noses out of the beltway media butt. The internet is our media not the MSM. I haven’t watched 5 minutes of any news show in years and always mute my radio at the top of the hour. There is a sleeping giant waking up and it’s Patriotic Americans who are sick of both political parties and want their country back NOW!

Yeah, but the corrupt MSM totally covered for Obama. Therefore, in true fairy tail fashion Obama was totally free to be the blank slate candidate and spout the loftiest of platitudes. Like a screaming child in the backseat of a long drive, the corrupt MSM's daily shrill attacks on Bush took their toll and people were completely set up to have the child-like, backseat anti-Bush/Republican screaming stop. And again, Obama filled that promise beautifully -- with the assistance of the corrupt MSM. Today, it is different. We have the smoking crater results all around us. There is no illusion this time around for this evident reality.

True, but again, polls at the time showed the public disapproved... and then the November 2010 proved historic, which seems to have faded from most people's memory. Remember, previously, Democrats controlled everything and by wide margins with a super-majority in the Senate.

I completely understand.

“..I was quite dumbfounded that people would elect someone who could not wear a flag, put his hand over his heart and was basically a Muslim....”

Friend, the majority of the people that elected him probably never, ever even heard any of that.

This is what they saw, courtesy of our Pravda media:

A young, “hip”, “cool” black guy, which they’ve been conditioned to respond positively to, versus an old, cranky white guy who they’ve been conditioned to respond negatively to.

American Idol, versus old, nasty white/racist America.

And that’s what they saw; NOTHING about the Bill Ayers ties, the Jeremiah Wright ties, the communist upbringing, and any of the other subversive crap. All carefully squelched, and re-packaged into Hope and Change with a Pepsodent smile.

The only folks who knew any of this were people who were actually paying attention and doing their own research on the candidates...a job that the media should have been doing.

This time, however, many more folks are paying attention; folks who lost their homes, their life savings, their sense of financial security as well as National identity and security.

That’s one good thing this POS has done - He’s awakened a lot of folks from their comfort zone and made them remember that there are some BIGGER than ourselves; that WE are Americans first - because he himself, by the example of his own actions, is so radically NOT, and what he has done to us all is decidedly not in the interests of the future continuation of the country.

Cautious optimism is the watchword for me.
