Mr. President, many of us thought we were voting for greatness. Instead, we got you.

 Like millions of other Democrats, I will hold my nose and vote for you next year. My only other choice is to vote for some brain-diseased Republican.
 
There are always disappointments in life, but Mr. President, you seem to be well on your way to becoming one of the greatest disappointments in American history.
 
I know that you understand we have no where else to go with our votes. And I know you must be aware of the various ways in which you have betrayed us.
 
Have you no conscience? Have you no decency? Have you no sense of self-betrayal?
 
You won’t prosecute your war criminal predecessors.

You won’t veto the most despicable Republican legislation that comes down the road.
 
You won’t stand up to the some of the worst domestic enemies this country has ever seen.
 
You won’t represent “We the People.” And you evidently won’t defend the Bill of Rights that protects us.
 
Yes, I know what you’ve accomplished against Republican intransigence and insanity. But that doesn’t measure up to the things you gave away before any “negotiations” ever began. (For example, Universal health care off the table before discussions even started.)
 
Sir, if you win a second term, how about throwing more than a few crumbs to a drowning American population? How about standing up and speaking out about what America is supposed to be?
 
If you are sworn into a second term on January 20, 2013, how about making that Day One of the restoration of how we used to view ourselves? A free people living in a just society.
 
Yeah, that may have always been an illusion. But why not be the guy that begins to make it a reality?
 
With Hope,

Cyrano

2. He didn't give you everything you wanted, when you wanted it. Life is like that, sometime.

Calling Obama "the greatest disappointment in American history" because he didn't follow YOUR agenda and YOUR timetable, though, is a bit hyperbolic--to put it as kindly and mildly as I can manage.

So MADem...takes issue with it?!

5. True, Obama's magic wand must be in the shop for repairs.

18. What if he didn't give Cyrano ANYTHING he wanted.

Some of us have standards and a line we are not willing to cross.

Attacking people for having more than a morsel of integrity and supporting those who don't is the reason this country is headed down the toilet.
 
Obama is a huge personal disappointment to me. You gonna tell me I'm not disappointed too? You can't. And you can't change the facts of what this president has done.
 
I usually don't put it so bluntly but he has not met even my MINIMUM needs from a president. And he is about to sign a couple bills that neutralize much of the finagling he's done that people send around in a laundry list of largely half-measures he's touting. Excuse me if I don't lie to myself.
 
You think Occupy would be happening if our president was truly great? You think torturers and war criminals would walk free? You think we'd be cutting heating assistance for poor people in the winter? You think single payer healthcare would not have been an imperative? You think I'd even have to wonder, let alone BEG, that our president say a flat-out NO to the Keystone XLPipeline?
 
I could go on, but why? He gives us NO peace of mind. Just look at the number of petitions to him we are asked to sign, and then look at how many he defies. Please.
 

The Blue Primitive joins the ruckus.

MADem

35. I'd say he's terribly hard to please, then.

You don't, apparently, understand what "attacking people" is all about.

Having a different view from yours is not an "attack."

Not agreeing with a statement is not an "attack."

I'd say you're terribly hard to please, too, if he has not met even your "MINIMUM needs." Gee, how have you survived all these years?
 
The GOP will associate OCCUPY with Obama, whether you like it, or not. No matter what they do, no matter how much they insist that the movement is apolitical, as far as the GOP is concerned, they're working for Barack. So, you can go on all you'd like, but that's the bottom line as far as they are concerned. Do with that fact what you will.
 
As for the President, he has work to do--expecting him to sign "petitions" like he's been approached upon coming out of a supermarket is just a naive expectation on your part. He's the President of all the people, not a wish granter, not a King.
 
I think there's just no pleasing some people, and you are proudly standing with that group. I will make a prediction that I think will materialize for you in the future--you're probably not going to be any happier with Obama in his second term, and I'll wager there will never be a sitting President who will make you very happy, or even meet your "MINIMUM needs."
 
That's life.

Ouch. Fiesty...

10. Obama has been so disappointing, and I was one of his earliest supporters

I was so enthusiastic about him as far back as 2006, and then he stabbed us in the back.

No he didn't. He did it face to face on many occasions, and what's worse? The majority of the America people granted his wish to stab us repeatedly.


And the thread goes on...

17. And all WE got was the most hyperbolic, poorly argued post of the year

Congratulations! I can almost see you rending the threads on your shirt. Wringing your hands in despair. Ratcheting up the hyperbole machine.
 
It's these kinds of posts that make me think more and more each day of making a clean break with this place. It's like living in a community of mad people who have lost their grip on reality.

When you eschew God, and instead adore and place all your hope and faith in men, this level of disappointment and anger is the result. Long, lamenting missives like this one - the DUmmy version of prayer - transmitted into the ether of the internet aren't going to help, either.

[Revolution]

Actually, this "tebowing" shit is the same way. I see your point, dandi. Nice post.

[zeitgeist]

I thought MADem got served a granite pizza a while back?  Must have made a heck of a donation.


Slowly but Shirley DUmmies are waking up to the fact that the democrat party is corrupt, that Obama is little more than a clean, well spoken black man who was available for use to further the party's agenda. pResident present, easily malleable into whatever the voter needed to see, should have alerted them to the dissapointment which was to come.

[notaDUmmie]

Sir, if you win a second term, how about throwing more than a few crumbs to a drowning American population?

A perfect example of the DUmmie inability to do anything right...why would you throw crumbs to a drowning person?  Why not throw a line or a life vest?  What the hell is a drowning person going to do with crumbs?

Mr. President, many of us thought we were voting for greatness. Instead, we got you....a dang community organ grinder.

 Like millions of other Democrats, I will hold my nose and vote for you next year. My only other choice is to vote for some brain-diseased Republican. ...who doesn't have Howard Stern nappy hair.

There are always disappointments in life, but Mr. President, you seem to be well on your way to becoming one of the greatest disappointments in American history. ...and Jimmy Carter is so relieved.
 
I know that you understand we have no where else to go with our votes. And I know you must be aware of the various ways in which you have betrayed us. ...and you knew to begin with that we're not to bright.
 
Have you no conscience? Have you no decency? Have you no sense of self-betrayal?. ...not one damn ounce.

You won’t prosecute your war criminal predecessors. ...judge not least ye be judged and all that.

You won’t veto the most despicable Republican legislation that comes down the road. ...because he can't remember which name to use.

You won’t stand up to the some of the worst domestic enemies this country has ever seen. ....they're all democrats so we forgive you.
 
You won’t represent “We the People.” And you evidently won’t defend the Bill of Rights that protects us. ...you try fighting with Moochelle.
 
Yes, I know what you’ve accomplished against Republican intransigence and insanity. But that doesn’t measure up to the things you gave away before any “negotiations” ever began. (For example, Universal health care off the table before discussions even started.) ...universal "Who Cares".
 
Sir, if you win a second term, how about throwing more than a few crumbs to a drowning American population? How about standing up and speaking out about what America is supposed to be? ...a Leninist/Stalinist/Marxist country.
 
If you are sworn into a second term on January 20, 2013, how about making that Day One of the restoration of how we used to view ourselves? A free people living in a just society. ....are you crazy! After he has spent 4 long, hard years embarrassing, apologizing and tearing America down.
 
Yeah, that may have always been an illusion. But why not be the guy that begins to make it a reality? ....reality? ...reality? ....REALLY!
 
With Hope, for more mind numbing dope.

The long nosed primative can't understand that the Chicago Jesus, lied to him
Long nosed primative must have missed "democrat" and "Chicago".

He probably saw "Chicago Democrat" and thought he was getting Richard Daley.

Instead, he got Rich Little.

I'm a little slow today.

I just noticed "Cryano" instead of "Cyrano."

Awesome, sir.

Cryano!     Good one, Rev!

That MA Dem is making too much sense of late.  She's sure to get it.  She's right about one thing, and the DUmmies should take it to heart.  Obama is not a wish grantor.  DUmmies, it's time to join grownup world and realize there is no such thing.  You're expected to grow out of the Santa Claus phase.
