Im convinced Obamas election was about some white people assuaging their guilt for the institution of slavery. I think that was part of it, but I also think there was a whole group of people who voted for him thinking that if a black man was elected to President the country would finally put the whole racism thing behind them. After hearing "your racist" for every argument against Bozo for 2 years people grew weary and naively thought it would end when he was elected. Alas, instead of taking the wind out of the sails of racism charges it will make things worse because Bozo isn't a fair man, he is a liar and a cheat, he used fraud to help win the election, he lies about all things.
The MSM will merely spin things a little differently and still use the race card constantly.
I do feel that the blacks will turn on him shortly, as soon as it is evident they can't break the law with impunity and that they will not be getting rich off of other people's money. Bozo has already started the "please lower your expectations, I may have exaggerated a trifle during the campaign" mantra and the feces will hit the rotating device soon after he takes power.

Your friend’s anger could also be her guilty conscience trying to get her attention.
I’m just playing amateur psychologist here, but I know what you mean. I have some family members who were big Obama supporters, and they don’t seem very happy right now. Sore winners, if you will.

But you cannot blame just Catholics?
What about all the evangelicals who voted for him?
The Protestants who voted for him?
The Jews who voted for him?

Evidently you did not see this list?
The list of U. S. bishops who have spoken out on the priority of the life issues in this election is now over 100. The list now contains 70 individual bishops and three joint statements.
I would like to continue updating this list until the day of the election. I have tried to incorporate all the comments thus far. If I dd not get them all, I apologize. (For a few of the suggestions, I could not find a suitable link.)
Please continue using the comments section to let us know what bishop is not on this list who should be. This would include any bishop who has individually, or jointly, published a statement about this election pointing out the primacy of the life issues.
Thank you for your help.

Thanks for this additional info. I wasn’t aware that doctors were shying away from abortion. It really is a very good sign.
Maybe, just maybe, they searched their souls! (Instead of looking at their wallets.)
Defund Planned Parenthood!

I think we will see a lot of people in that category, especially with FOCA on the tables of Congress.

We need a separation of Church and State.How is that going to help? It's so many people NOT voting their faith that is the problem already.
To: ArrogantBustard
The problem is, half of Americans think killing babies is just peachy.It's because they can't bring themselves to admit that it IS a baby. And they don't WANT to believe it either. That would make them guilty, and it's no fun being guilty.
To: Americanchild; All

Because we will be easy targets for the left in the MSM. They will depict anyone with faith as being a naive fool. I couldn't disagree more with them but we must recognize their influence. Look at the vicious attacks on Palin. Let's keep the faith. Let's practice our religion but not make such a big show of it for political events. This is cannon fodder for the MSM.

To: Mrs. Frogjerk
It is more than a little frustrating to say the least. I don't understand their mindset at all! Here in MA, there are WAY too many Catholics who are still blindly voting Democrat. They have hung on to the notion, nurtured by their parents, that the Democrats are for the 'little people', and the Republicans are the 'party of the rich'.
Lately, another undercurrent is the rejection of the 'right wing religious' voters in the Republican party. Many Northeastern Catholics don't like the idea of bringing religion into politics. They've absorbed the notion that in public discourse, it's tacky to talk religion.
