Mr. President--I voted for you to get us out of these God Damn Wars!
   
Mr. President---if you send 35,000 more troops to a land that we will never conquer, it will tell me and many others who voted for you that you just don't get it.

That Sir, will be my biggest disappointment with you to date.

I love the faux outrage over this. If they were really angry they would be calling for frogmarching and impeachment for war crimes.

i'll be in DC from the 23rd to the 27th of Dec. otherwise give me a date and i'll do my best to be there.

i saw the headline earlier "obama says he will finish what we started." i closed the tab and just felt like crying.

crocodile tears since no call for impeachment.

4. Why are you surprised?
   
So many on this board warned of such outcomes. Obama is not a progressive. He did not run as a progressive. Why are people surprised that he does not act like a progressive? When you elect a corporatist, this is what is to be expected.

True he is not progressive all of his policies are regressive.

32. I am not surprised, not at all.
   
I won't waste my vote again though.

You will vote for him in 2012 if you want to post at DU anymore.

128. Same here
   
I had huge misgivings, but gladly voted for Obama when faced with the threat of McCain-Palin. This is not the "change" I hoped for. Not by a long shot.

This isn't the change I wanted either but it is the change I knew he was going to try to bring.

if he could change his mind about that, he could change his mind about Afghanistan.

Mandated insurance how's that hope n change working for ya? 

I love watching them whine and cry about lord O.

For whom exactly do the Little Goonasses weep?   They don't give a sweet shit about the "people" of Afghanistan or Iraq.  They don't give a sweet shit about the men and women in the USA military.   For whom do they weep?

I will answer my own question:   They weep for the death of weakness whenever their mortal enemy - the United States of America - shows strength.   Their tears are selfish tears wept to grease the shitty little gears of their wicked ideology.

They weep for every member of al-Qaeda killed or captured on the battlefield in Iraq or Afghanistan.  They weep for those they believe are "like me" and down for the struggle...and have been killed by the evil imperialistic Americans.

THAT is whom they weep for.

Always remember that the first thing a DUmmy thinks of is "what is there for me?"

Laying aside the deeper philosophical beliefs they have this is viewed as a use of resources that should be directed towards lavishing goodies on them.

Every cent that goes to the defense of this country is regarded as a personal theft of the riches the government should award them out of fairness or whatever other whim they have.

I'm waiting for the Impeach Obama rally's.    Well, I'm not holding my breath.

[Airwolf]

Piss on them. Their anguish is my joy.

[franksolich]

Piss on them. Their anguish is my joy.

You and me both, sir.

And by the way, a Happy Thanksgiving!

If we had to hold our breaths on that then we would all pass out first
