Notice how the anti-Obama comments to the CNN article are being blocked?
What the authors ignored was that in less than two years Obama had already showed his faults in a way that washed out the euphoria of “hope and change”. In 2010, many 2008 Obama supporters did not change so much, but they were disappointed in themselves for having believed in mere “hope and change” with no substance about Obama for why they should. Obama had proved he was not the man they thought he was. His party suffered for it in 2010 and 2012. The GOP would do well to not ignore the fact that we have just had an election that was as much, or more, about voting against someone - Obama - as voting for someone.
Only about 40% of eligible voters show up for midterm elections.
Proof that 60% of voters have their head up their a$$ 100% of the time.
