For many Americans, the ENTIRE POINT of the ‘08 election was to be part of the novelty of electing the first black President.

That accomplished, the novelty is wearing off. Quick.

You're spot on with that comment. Unfortunately, I know a LOT of people who voted for this loser, and no one can give me one reason why other than, "He's not the same old white guy we've had in power for 200+ years."

No, he's different, all right. But I don't think Communism is what any of them had in mind.

Isn't that the truth? Except for the truly insane, who literally worship Obama, most of the "drive by voters" who chose him based on his skin color are starting to think "Now what?"

There is no way he can live up to the hype.

I have a friend, (college educated 50+ year old white woman), who “voted for Obama because he is black. I have always loved black people and it’s time they had a chance.” Honest to goodness that is word for word what she said to me! When I asked, “are you kidding?” Her reply was “well it was my vote and if I made a mistake it won’t be the 1st time nor the last.”.

Another one of our friends told her she was not only stupid, but she was an idiot. Needless to say she is pretty defensive about that vote for Obama now. All that said this woman has always been pro-life and for strong marriage and national defense.

PS. She also said she hated McCain because he was arrogant and had had an affair. I look at her and have to wonder what was in the water in GA this past election cycle.

My God, you and I think alike! That’s exactly what I’ve been telling my friends.

We got so giddy to elect the first bi-racial president that we forgot to ask ourselves if he would be a GOOD president.
