Cyrano (1000+ posts) Wed Dec-01-10 12:28 PMOriginal message Mr. President, you've lost my respect. You’ve lost my admiration. You’ve lost my vote. I'm disappointed with you. I'm saddened by you. I am angry that I believed in the hope you promised us, and then turned your back on us.As that lady at a town hall meeting said, “I’m tired of defending you.â€You asked us to be patient. Patience doesn’t include being repeatedly sold out.You promised us change. But you didn’t mention it was change for the worse.You implicitly asked for our trust. And then you betrayed us.I have no idea how you view your performance in office. And I no longer care.Please step aside in 2012 and allow us to vote for someone who will stand up for us.You held out to us the dream of greatness. Yet, you’ve become a small, pathetic man. And nothing saddens me more than that.
soon as you find your manhood all else falls into place.
If Ft. Hood was "workplace violence," then the Hindenburg was an air show.
I don't know if sand glows in the dark, but we're gonna find out.
Cyrano You implicitly asked for our trust. And then you betrayed us.Please step aside in 2012 and allow us to vote for someone who will stand up for us.
"The nation that couldn’t be conquered by foreign enemies has been conquered by its elected officials" odawg Free Republic in reference to the GOP Elites who are no difference than the Democrats
The guy wrote for what seemed like forever. Could he (even with his gereral hate which all DUmors are full of) be gunning for Top Primitive with this post? I believe he was nominated.
Wah, wah, wah! I though you....people would be proud of what Obumble has done so far. Oh...my mistake...he hasn't done enough.Be patient. He's still got about 2 years left...
tomp363. and put that asshole alan simpson at the head of it. **** obama.
vduhr (381 posts) Wed Dec-01-10 09:19 PMResponse to Reply #105217. I agree with you completely....All of these people who didn't vote in November and are complaining about Obama...? HELLO...we weren't voting for Obama in November, we were voting for holding on to the majority of the House of Reps and Senate! WTF people! So what did you accomplish by staying home? You made it even more difficult for anything to get done in favor of the people and added fuel to the fire of the Republican arrogance. Every time I hear a damned Republican tout that "the American people have spoken", I want to puke. You helped remove the one person that was good for the House of Reps - Nancy Pelosi and put John Boehner in her place for God's sake! How does that help anything??? You set us back for who knows how long now because you have taken away what little power we had gained by being the majority. The Reps and Senators that have actually worked so hard, and stood up on the floor and spoke for us, now have less ability to get done what you want. The President does not have complete control of the country, that is why the government is set up the way it is. The Executive Branch is separate from the Legislative Branch. Do you honestly think we would have gotten even the Health Reform we did get if Dems did not have the majority? We would have gotten NOTHING...N O T H I N G! Now the Republicans, whom you gave more power to are going to repeal even that, AND NOTHING WILL BE LEFT TO BUILD FROM. You knocked the foundation we were trying to build right out from under us. Then you say you will vote third party or not at all in 2012? Then you might as well figure that the Republicans will be running and ruining this country for a very long time. Seems Republicans are not the only ones that have a short-term memory I guess. And please, if you don't vote, you shouldn't get to complain about what will happen after that. Hell, if you didn't vote this time, you shouldn't get to complain either. No matter what you have to choose from, you have to choose what is the best available and try to build from there, otherwise you are doing nothing. I'm getting really tired of these, jump-on-the-band-wagon, mutual criticism Obama threads too!

We would have gotten NOTHING...N O T H I N G! Now the Republicans, whom you gave more power to are going to repeal even that, AND NOTHING WILL BE LEFT TO BUILD FROM.You didn't get health reform, you got the Mitt Romney health care bill. Obama even came out and said that was his goal a few weeks ago. If you wanted that, Mitt Romney could have given it to you. And then you could have scorned it as the corporate giveaway that it was because a Republican President passed it, and Democrats wouldn't have soiled hands from passing the piece of corporate crap. There's nothing to build on from it - it ain't Social Security, where a government program was established to provide a social responsibility to people. It's a mandate to buy a private financial product. And you've probably noticed, they're not exactly building on even Social Security to make it better these days."Nothing" would have been an improvement, because the private insurance industry is the entire problem and you just entrenched it. Have you apologized to one of the people who stood in opposition to it for castigating them as unsatisfiable political neophytes because if you didn't pass the Senate health care bill, they personally wanted 30 million people to drop dead, and if this miserable health care bill wasn't passed Democrats would LOSE THE HOUSE OMG OMG OMG."We are tired of watching as year after year, candidates offer up detailed health care plans with great fanfare and promise, only to see them crushed under the weight of Washington politics, and drug and insurance lobbying, once the campaign is over." -- Barack Obama, 2008 edition, talking about his health care plan that had no individual mandate, a public option, drug reimportation, bulk pharmaceutical purchases for Medicare, and no tax on health care benefits.By the way, the Republicans can't repeal it unless The Great Invertebrate signs the repeal. And the Republicans aren't going to repeal it. Their insurance industry donors don't want them to.

Wonder how much Skinner was offered to let this place turn into the latest biggest thing for the Republican party.

So much to choose from...
Please allow a bit of arrogance, Frank.I don't mean to pat myself on the back too much, or toot my own horn, but....BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!
BenzoDia (22 posts) Thu Dec-02-10 07:53 AMResponse to Original message376. No, Obama should be disappointed by us Jumping on a bandwagon of 'hope' and not 'reality'. For 3 years this man worked in inner city Chicago, breaking his balls to build job centers and get asbestos removed from public housing. 3 years of back breaking work for small gains for a forgotten people.We gave him 2 years to fix a broken country and turned our backs on him, voted a bunch of Tea Partiers and Republicans into the House and Senate. Politics is a long-term game, but we sold him out after 2 years. Embarrassing.
JDPriestly (1000+ posts) Wed Dec-01-10 11:13 PMResponse to Reply #105 270. Maybe Bernie Sanders would have a chance since by 2012 the TeaBaggers will have revealed how bankrupt their solutions to our problems are.
avebury (56 posts) Thu Dec-02-10 07:33 AMResponse to Reply #105 372. ..... I would like to see Alan Grayson be given some kind of role in taking on the Republicans and Tea Baggers and organizing the Democrats. He make a great enforcer.
JDPriestly (1000+ posts) Wed Dec-01-10 11:15 PMResponse to Reply #164 272. The only candidates who were willing to take on the corporations were Kucinich and Edwards. Those were the choices. Maybe we can talk Kucinich into running again. He might have a better chance this time.

I think this person is a mole, but I'll play along. So how did Obama improve the lives of the people on the South Side of Chicago?
