I was splashing around in Lake Michigan last week when the realization hit me like a wave — I was wrong about Barack Obama. I should have voted for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary three years ago.
At the time of the primary, the decision seemed easy. I saw in Obama the same qualities Jack Kerouac saw in Dean Moriarty in "On the Road." He was 'something new, long prophesied, long a-coming."
Hillary was not new. She represented the second act of "Billary," and I had tired of that play long before it ended its eight-year run.
So I voted for Obama in the primary and then again in the general election. I even left the election night party at the Pageant — a party with an open bar and filled with state legislators, union guys and other acquaintances — to go to the Chase Park Plaza, where the Obama people were celebrating. I knew almost nobody at that second party, but I was there when the networks declared that Obama was the next president. People cried and hugged. I got teary myself. A black president. The times they are a-changing.
Indeed. They keep getting worse.

A black president
yes...thats really the only reason everyone voted for him. talk about racist.
White guilt.
These mea culpas are getting old. If they fell for the BS the first time around, what does that say about their judgement?
So is the coming world ruler also known as "The Beast." Seems more and more people are ripe for the picking.
Folks, Mrs. Bill “Slick Willie” Clinton is every bit the Marxist/communist that Obammie the Commie is.
Don’t believe this new leftist diversion that she is some sort of a hawk or centrist.
She is a hardcore leftist who agrees with everything Obama is doing.
Even a brain dead zombie could see Oslama was a community communist.

whoever gets the nomination is who they’ll vote for despite all their handwringing.
they’re all leftists first and foremost.
....and all the lefties think they are so smart and above us...they’re “progressive”. BS.
They are knuckle dragging, emotional immature oafs.
Morons. They will never figure out it is the ideology that is a failure not the person.
but I'll bet that both these columnists will be voting for Obambi in 2012...
Now, now, Bill; you got your “Hope and Change”. That it turned out being less than what you expected,what can I say?
It’s not about judgement or thought processes. These are liberals and emotion is what guides them.

I remmeber how upset this woman was when the convention rejected Hillary and chose Obama. She knew it was a mistake.
Obama has set back Keynesian socialist economic dogma a decade undoing the damage that Republicans did when they were in power, in them setting back the belief in capitalism(good example=TARP).
Last night Ed Schultz MSNBC had a fit because Obama not only wouldn't support the recall efforts in WI, but he won't even mention the fight going on there. He and the other socialists at MSNBC are calling for Obama to fight for a massive Roosevelt type stimulus public works program.
Obama realizes the wind has changed on deficits and spending, and at the least he will play act like he agrees looking to re-election and poll testing everything he proposes.
Hitlery is the dem/lib/prog/pop equivalent of our good old boy newt...she's had it.
So....truthfully....who - in that diaper full of crap called the "democrat party" - could mount a realistic challenge to the stain???
Just a leftist cry baby that Obama has been to weak and hasn’t delivered enough liberalism.
Another stupid communist checks in.
the only regret the left has is that 0failure has gone too fast, waking up America before they secured everything they wanted... including the irreparable demise of the country
