Any stories of Obama buyer's remorse?

Posted on 02/14/2015 7:39:21 AM PST by eekitsagreek

During this week, I met a few people who were at one point enthusiastic Obama supporters. They really believed all the "Hope and Change" stuff but now feel they have been duped.

One person who is self-employed signed up for Obamacare and now really, really regrets it. Another person who is very religious was furious at his support for gay marriage.

I have received apologies from 2 friends for voting for Obama. That never happened before...

You're fortunate. I have one set of in-laws that will never change their minds. They still believe the BS, and in a totally transformed country would be party loyalists and petty apparatchiks.

Why 80% of the country hasn't risen up against this foreign agent is beyond me. I say 80, because there's always 10% that are in defiant opposition to the civil order around them, and 10% are illegal aliens.

There will be even more. Add in the people who either lose their jobs after January and/or had their hours cut to under 30 hours per week. Don't worry, we'll see a lot of them here, along with many of us, where their moment of clarity will have fully arrived:



A friend filed her taxes yesterday. She gets $300 less this year because of (take a wild guess).

The day I heard Wright deliver his hate-filled, anti-American screed on S. Hannity’s radio show, I knew this guy was trouble. People ignored this clue - written in 50 foot letters and shoved under their noses - and voted him in anyway. They’re gonna regret this like Germans regretted Hitler.

I do not think their apology should be accepted...We knew about Rev Wright, we knew about him voting against not giving aid to a baby that survived an abortion..

And we knew about the Democrat party before we ever heard of Obama, and Clinton was every bit as bad.

One of my voice students is a very loquacious and precocious 8 year old Black Child. The family are big O supporters.

Yesterday, she confided to me that her mother’s business is failing, and that Mom will have to find a job, and things are looking very bad.

I told her to think carefully about why this has happened, and what has become of our Nation in the last six years.

To: left that other site

I saw a black man coming out of a GOP meeting being interviewed by a libtard reporter.

The reporters questions were along the lines of “How dare you as a black man go to a GOP meeting! How could you do that?”

The man calmly said “Maybe we should stop thinking we need to vote Democrat because we’re poor and start thinking maybe we’re poor because we vote Democrat”

The reporter looked like he was going to faint

Not me.

My relatives and in-laws who supported Obama and his gang are still for them.

Our side heard it and knew. The problem is the MSM kept it quiet and the idiots never heard it. And the few who heard it didn’t care or didn’t want to believe it.

Yes, counter to those folks, I've had to disown in-laws myself.

But they were so foul I would have done it for many other reasons, so no real loss there.

The disenfranchised people of this country have not “risen up” simply because they are not ORGANIZED.

We laugh at Obama’s past as a “community organizer”, but how do you think a mere 12 percent of the population got so politically powerful?

A reinvigorated Tea Party (perhaps with a name change) might a good place to start.

Sadly, they will probably believe the next Democrats lies as well and vote for them.

As long as the 50% that voted for their free birth control, free abortions, EBT cards, union bailouts, and everything else they voted for, they don't care.

And as long as the Fed continues injecting the economy with printed dollars in exchange for bonds that we'll eventually have to pay back, they'll get their freebies.

I heard ‘em after the FIRST term began...

But then, they turned right around and voted for the slime bag AGAIN in 2012.

Their excuse? “Mitt Romney and Paul RYAN? - REALLY???”

Those that voted for him that now say they were wrong are still idiots. If they didn’t see through the man with all the rev. Jerimiah Wright tapes and just a brief review of his history, they are idiots.

It’s just like Axelrod now saying Obama was for gay marriage the whole time but lied about it. I was very easy to see through that if someone just paid a little bit of attention. It was easy to see the man would lie and lie and lie. Are these people that damned stupid?

We haven’t seen near the downside of the Obama years yet. We will be paying for this pos in office for at least a generation. He’s done far more to screw up the middle east than all our presidents since Jimmy Carter combined. He’s screwed this nation in more ways than I care to mention.

We’re all going to pay for this freak show being elected but I hope that those that put him in office end up paying the greatest price for electing the pos.

Yea, my mother in law and her health care insurance premiums. She believed the lies.
