Not sure I feel quite as strongly about my vote as you do. BUT - I am EXTREMELY disappointed (though not surprised).

Of course, he made niced with the Dems (barf, but I guess necessary). He then proceeds to announce enviro-nazi environmental regualtions. 20% reduction in gasoline consumption? With a million new illegals coming in, with many of them driving, with our population as a whole increasing, with more and more cars on the road- exactly how do we REDUCE by 20% the use of gas? Or is he back-dooring the use of ethanol and other bio-fuels (which was hinted around about not long after)?

The clincher for me, though, was not what sounded like a shift towards socialized medicine (by another name - private insurance funded/subsidized/whatever by the government). By biggest hang-up was his immigration shell game. HE talks about strengthening the border, then promotes a guest worker program to continue to bring in even more immigrants that will supposedly "reduce pressure on the border"....

And then he promoted his Amnesty idea, of course still not calling it what it is. I wish someone would ask him in an interview what he calls a program that gives lawbreakers an opportunity to get off and not suffer any penalty. It's called amnesty - PERIOD.

There was NOTHING about "subsidized" health care!

Are you being SUBSIDIZESD, when you write off your mortgage interest? Oh, never mind, yes, you are and that's a lousy example anyway.

Subsidized health care has been around since rocks cooled. But with medical care getting ever more efficacious, and those efficacious treatments getting ever more expensive, something has to crack.
