It seems some of the Kos Kids regret voting for Obama. You have to read it to believe it. Enjoy!
I think we are all really disappointed. We thought we were getting something fresh, intelligent and new when Obama came in. I have to admit, I also feel defeated with this resignation. I also hope I buck up soon, but either I don't understand Obama's MOA, or something. Maybe he is weak, on a slow learning curve, maybe he will surprise us in all those wonderful ways. I don't know anymore, and the bitterness I am hearing in these comments I can understand.

What bothers me is that Obama seems to believe his own hype about post-partisanship.

We are stuck with him now ...

What good has it done having 60 Senate and 265 House seats? Might as well have had 55 and 240--the higher numbers have made zero difference which is especially troubling to watch when in theory it should be providing us significant reforms with a (formerly) very very popular president with a clear mandate. Obama has squandered that opportunity time and again, to the point where clearly Congress does not fear him and hardly respects him. He is governing like he won by 1 point, not like he won in a landslide. The coat-tails meant nothing in the end if he is totally unwilling to impose his will on a Congress that his party controls by huge margins, it's absolutely pathetic to watch. And if this continues 2010 will be a disaster.

He didn't win in a landslide, and he ONLY won because many Republicans voted for Obama, rather than McCain, whom they considered a RINO. Without the Republican vote, McCain would have won. Check the stats! ... The people who planned this coup are idiots, as you all now can plainly see. Hopefully we won't have to wait four years to change up the playing field.

And if this continues 2010 will be a disaster. Boy, isn't that an understatement. Even if we lose two senate seats it will be perceived as a disaster. by alliedoc on Sun Sep 06, 2009 at 10:04:54 AM PDT
Well I'm not giving up just yet either after 7 months, however the way things are going I think I will eventually. Time will tell, but the signs are anything but good. The administration's performance thus far either points to unbelievable naivete or this was the plan all along in which case everyone got conned. Both prospects are equally bad.
by michael1104 on Sun Sep 06, 2009 at 10:35:28 AM PDT
record of what? he didn't stand behind his words. Back them up, don't cave to the pressure. Each day gets worse. Yah, we're getting change alright.

Obama is a weak, weak, people pleasing man. The only trouble is, he spends all his time trying to please the powerful, rather than the constituents that worked hard for him and voted him into office.

This is like Carter redux.

I'm 64 and its the the most cowardly I have ever seen! ... How did we ever elect this eunuch? I have to confess my blame as well.

A gutless administration. No one in this White-house has what it takes. I truly feel its downhill from here on.
by Voodoo king on Sat Sep 05, 2009 at 10:00:10 PM PDT
Yup. With this, I'm given one less reason to give the President my vote when he runs for reelection. If he can't stand up to the likes of Glenn Beck, where does that leave us?
by felldestroyed on Sat Sep 05, 2009 at 10:50:08 PM PDT
Gutless. Hey, where did that guy go that made that fierce speech in Chicago post being elected? Quite the vanishing act. Only took a few weeks to become like every other politician. What gives? Did we read him wrong from the start? He has disappointed in every possible manner. The only change I see is in color and grammar. Disappointed? That does not even begin to cover my feelings.
by HansaGruber on Sun Sep 06, 2009 at 07:22:07 AM PDT
Fight back for a white-house that doesn't fight for itself. Give it a rest. It's a pity, if only I could turn back time I'll do things differently.
by Voodoo king on Sat Sep 05, 2009 at 10:04:15 PM PDT
Wack jobs. My head is spinning. Where did that fierce "community organizer" go? We now have Mr. Complacency. This latest resignation shows that this man will do everything to garner favor with the right wing nut jobs. I find it hard to believe he did not realize who voted for him? It wasn't the gun, bible and what nots that put him in office. Good luck in 2012 Mr. Obama if you don't grow a pair. I want a refund.
by HansaGruber on Sun Sep 06, 2009 at 07:24:24 AM PDT
You're so right crazy like a fox. If I said the things on my mind about how I feel about Obama and his administration this september night I'll probably just get banned from this site. But I'll say this, I believe health care reform is dead. This guys just don't have what it takes. They're living in a bubble. They have a disdain for progressives, including the president I believe.
by Voodoo king on Sat Sep 05, 2009 at 10:11:53 PM PDT
If I could vote again in the primary I would vote for Hillary Clinton today. Yes I said I would vote for Hillary. I don't care anymore about this administration.
by Voodoo king on Sat Sep 05, 2009 at 10:31:11 PM PDT
For all the good it would have done me. If I could vote again, I'd vote for Kucinich. It wouldn't have made a difference, but I wouldn't have quite so profound a disappointment as I currently have.

They’ll never understand that americans don’t want communism and anything that points to a communist in the government must be done away with in order to save the grand plan.
Amazingly, some of those comments are spot-on.
This made my day.
So true (of RINOs too).
Well then, go for the jugular.
They sound like some of us when we got hopping mad about GWB’s “Islam is a religion of peace” blather, illegal immigration “reform” proposals, and bailout spending sprees. Sad and disappointed.
Ingrates. He gave them a trillion dollars in pork via the stimulus, hundreds of billions more in pork in the budget and its still not enough.
"Coup" huh? I thought that was a bad thing?
Mine too!
Me too-! Leftists must live in some sort of parallel universe-! Savage is right- “Liberalism really is a Mental disorder”-!
Ping.
"The Messiah's" fellow Commie nuts sit back and criticize, but if any of them get in power -- G-d forbid -- do they really believe they could do better?
They want it to be something petty like the A-hole comment. Personally I couldn’t care less what he called us. I’ve been called far worse by far better men.
It is quite a delicious thing to see karma in action! I’m just glad that the koskiddies have come to their senses about zero...maybe that will work in our favor in the coming elections....who knows!
Thanks so much for compiling this post. Looks like few of us are happy with Obama on either side. One thing all of these posters and us FReepers have in common is that we know Obama is a complete incompetent.
“To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.”
The coat-tails meant nothing in the end if he is totally unwilling to impose his will on a Congress that his party controls by huge margins, it's absolutely pathetic to watch.
This is what they really believe the presidency is all about ... imposing one's will upon others. They're unbelievable.
Do you know what amazes me? All the posts listed show resentment for allowing the resignation of VJ...but not one of them have any ire toward the massive spending, unemployment, or the deathcare. My God these morons have their priorities backwards!
Like most Dems, Obama ran as a safe, non-radical, moderate. The KOS kids knew this and, like conservatives, knew Obama was not moderate.
Now that Obama has shown his true liberal colors, many of the people who voted for him are turned off.
The radical leftists don't care about those people, they want their agenda rammed through and because Obama is not standing tough and telling everyone to fetch-off, they are mad.
This will all come down to a simple choice....do Dems want their agenda or do they want to hang onto power?
They can't have both.
My pleasure.
Maybe his worshippers have discovered the current President does not have a clue how to run anything, much less the United States of America; that he is all talk, no action; that he really is not “the smartest President who ever lived”; and that he is so far in over his head that he will never, ever get out.
Well, only about three years, 3-1/2 months to go. But we cannot wait until the end of his first (and, hopefully, only) term. We have to push back!
Be in D.C. next weekend! Or in your local big city or capitol!
One poster called him a eunuch...heah...good word. Sort of thin on everything.
They're catching on to something I've been saying a long time. It's not Obama the Man, Obama the Leader we have to fear. There's nothing there except a passive personality waiting for the next wave of applause and cheers.
We need to worry about who pulls his strings, not the puppet himself.
So ol' Dennis could do for America what he did for Cleveland- run it into the ground. Maybe he could appoint high school kids to the posts of Attorney General or Secretary of Defense.
That is interesting. These are many of the 28% strongly support that are in the daily trackings. Will they actually have the nerve to tell a live polster they don’t strongly support thier left-wing diety?
A Schadenfreude moment. Enjoy.
Boy, these low-grade morons are slower than molasses in the heart of winter.
What they fail to understand is that their fearless leader IS a community organizer, nothing more and nothing less.
The two most powerful people in this "adminstration", namely the President and the Secretary of State, barely have a full Senate term between them and THAT'S ALL!
That's the sum total of their political experience.
What the he!! did these imbecilemoronidiots believe they would do? They have NO idea how government works.
They proved that to me with their gift of a 25 CD giftpack to the British Prime Minister.
Britain spent a lot of time and consideration on what to present to the President of the US and the President of the US stopped at the WH gift shop on the way in to meet the PM.
Dorkdweebdufusesdeadheadsduncesdolts ....
That was my thought as well. It took a fair amount of time to compile these comments (and edit out the trash), but I wanted to show the extent of the displeasure. It's not just two or three fleeting comments that could have been posted by trolls.
Too late kids! You elected him.
I’m actually not taking pleasure in their misfortune because I don’t believe they’re misfortunate. They chose poorly as ignorant and uninformed voters tend to do or they chose intentionally as informed voters who knew exactly what Obama was all about and are now disappointed that he’s not as radical as they wanted him to be. I don’t know which is worse.
I don’t understand how they think he isn’t a radical!
More from the Daily CessPool, AKA KOS
It sucks for us who think Van was great. This is a War between Good and Evil, a fight we must win.
Van Jones' wikipedia page is a war zone, not surprisingly. It's been purged of the worst of the biased invective (disgusting garbage indeed) and edited ad infinitem, but hasn't been locked down yet. It seems to be in a semi-protected state. I'm still seeing right-wing bias on his page, but it's not too late to contribute to its editing, if knowledgeable peeps are interested.
NEVER APOLOGIZE to a wingnut! When will progressives ever learn. Another of America's best and brightest shot down. I think that the wingnuts learned with the Kennedys that you don't have to physically assasinate your opponents to get rid of them. And they have been performing character assasinations ever since. To America's great detriment.
Change we can believe in? What about change? (0+ / 0-) No balls, no change, let alone change we can, ahem, "believe in". Maybe the wrong black man was elected president? It hurts that Nader may have been correct.
“They sound like some of us when we got hopping mad about GWB’s “Islam is a religion of peace” blather, illegal immigration “reform” proposals, and bailout spending sprees. Sad and disappointed.”
and they decided not to vote GOP in 2006 and 2008 thus handing it over to pelosi
... Elected on a feeling of hope and change with zero experience at managing anything. Yes, it's incredible that so many were fooled. It makes me both sad and angry.
“but not one of them have any ire toward the massive spending, unemployment, or the deathcare. My God these morons have their priorities backwards!”
nope, it simply doesn’t bother them that so many are unemployed, including many blacks and hispanics. It’s only a political problem to them.
big grin!
Hmmm, perhaps you and I just can’t grasp it because we aren’t radicals ourselves. Or perhaps we just aren’t looking at it properly.
I’m sure they realize fully well that he’s a radical just like they are, but perhaps because he’s not being a follow-through-radical...........
They may be looking at him as an appeasement-radical or a sellout-radical.
I dunno. I’m just guessing.

My sister got lucky, married a yuppie, took him for all he was worth.
Now she's a swinger, dating a singer, I can't decide which is worse.
Commie Tom Petty who I'd otherwise like.
They fell for empty slogans. Hope and Change... Yes we can. They failed to ask what kind of hope and change and yes we can, what?
It was always about HIM. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself and neither does his beast of a wife. They are elitists, they don’t identify with middle class America and never have. They climbed the ladder through pay to play schemes and taking advantage of the lower and middle class. Their kids have never attended a public school. NEVER! and never will.
He doesn’t care if he’s a one term president. They are now set for life and it was always about the money for them. MO has expensive tastes. Wagu beef, 5900. bags, Lanvin sneakers at 650. a pop, hell she gets them in every color. Now let me say this, nothing wrong with this if you can afford it and make your own money. However, now they are living of of our tax dollars and taking full advantage of it for themselves, their friends and every freaking family member that goes on every trip at our expense.
They are revolting and sometimes I feel bad for the poor minorities that saw hope and thought there would be change. Then I slap myself and tell myself if they were that stupid and didn’t do their homework, they deserve what they got.
No Michelle, we don’t intend to give up a piece of our pie and certainly not until you do so first. And yes, Michelle, we don’t give a rats ass if you say barack will never let us go back to our old way of life in America because my reply to that is GFYS.
There are thousands of ACORN voters registered every day. Without voter ID we are doomed to the election fraud that ate venezuela alive.
The Kossacks still have choices available: a nice high bridge, a length of rope or the blue pill.

Special Elections And The Purported Republican Wave
by Steve Singiser
Sun Sep 06, 2009 at 04:03:31 PM PDT
The 2009/2010 electoral forecast for Democrats, according to the horse race pundit class, just keeps getting gloomier and gloomier. According to Larry Sabato, the Democrats may well lose the House, and even if Obama’s approval settles into the mid-60s, and Dems have a ten-point lead in the generic ballot, they still will lose fifteen seats in the House.
