“Never mind, rant all you want to”
Thanks. I think we all feel the frustration. Even people who should have known better were suckered into voting for this guy. Even people who do not agree with him on many issues, had to vote for him! Just too many felt they had to vote for him because he was young and charismatic. How frightening is that. Or they could not help being swept up in the mania. Of course he had a huge financial advantage too.
I wonder exactly how many pro life people even voted for him because of his promise to bring people together on this issue. They must think he had some kind of divine power because that is what it would have taken to solve the divisions over abortion.
American voters have reached critical mass, there are now more idiots voting than non-idiots.
I think people voted for him because he looked like he belonged in Hollywood. He looked good and gave a nice speech. His teeth were really white.
I honestly think they never went deeper than that.
“...vote for him because he was young and charismatic.”
A somewhat ironic use of the term “charismatic”.
I assume you refer to the secular definition and not the one referencing some Christians’ professed ability to speak in “tongues” and perform healings.
Then again, Obama’s forked tongue liberal-speak and financial remedies based mostly on faith might make either definition fit.
SF had a big March For Life in January, lots of Catholics. Seriously, 10,000 there, and good news coverage. They interviewed a nice Filipino young man who was devoting several hours of his life and effort to March For Life. He said he voted for Obama. I just stood there and shook my head.
What was he THINKING??????
