Politics 2012: It hasn´t been two months since Barack Obama won re-election, but already we´re finding out things that were kept from us during the campaign. Expect to hear more in the coming months. lElections are clarifying events, we´re told. But sometimes what they clarify is merely the gap between what we were told during the campaign and the reality on the ground. Often, the two don´t match. That´s certainly true with Obama. How often in recent weeks have we learned that what we heard on the campaign trail from the Obama camp, and which were echoed by

I don’t remember who said or wrote it, but the gist of it was something like this: The United States of America, the great experiment in self government, died a violent death by its own hand after 236 years.
How much do you think the concept of “white guilt” is responsible for Obama’s “popularity”, now at 58 percent in one of the polls?
A certain percentage may have been duped, but I believe the vast majority of people who voted for obama simply wanted as much free stuff they can obtain from the government. As long as they get it, regardless of where it comes from and who pays for it, they could care less.
It is the same situation with my cousins in Greece. That country is in a shambles and all they care about is the government taking care of them.
I honestly don’t know what it will take for people to wake up. It also does not help when you have a MSM that is in the tank for the dems and you have a GOP that is clueless when it comes to messaging.
I am afraid that a complete economic collapse of the US may not be enough for people to change their attitudes.
I`m not sure which Americans are finding themselves deceived by Obama. His approval ratings are anywhere between +5 and +20. If they`re feeling “deceived,” they sure don`t seem annoyed by it.
OR THEY WANTED IT. That is what I believe the majority of the US population had in mind voting for Zero.
Americans got EXACTLY what they voted for. Nobody was duped.

There surely is some component of white guilt, thanks to progressive control of all levels of education. However, it is so intertwined with ignorance that it would be difficult to measure separately...
all they cared about was the color of his skin NOT the content of his character.
Duped? Please. A big chunk of America wants Socialism, which is living above their means on the backs of “the rich.” Gimme gimme gimme and make someone else pay for it. What some may be realizing is that “the rich” can’t pay for the monstrosity we call the Federal government even if we take all their money.
Not true! Americans were not duped. Parasites, traitors, thieves, self hating Whites, idoits,and fools may have been duped. But Americans were not duped. Then knew exactly what obama and the Democrat Party are nd what they stand for. Unfortunately for the Nation, Americans,as evidenced by the results of the 2012 election, are a minority.
Good on you for the list, girl type.
For reference, thanks.
Thanks! :)
We, the high info voter, knew what Obama is -- a Marxist who could make Hugo Chavez seem sane!!
