The coffee was still brewing when Chris Ann Cleland got her first reminder of the day that voting for Barack Obama might have been a mistake.
The Prince William County real estate agent was sitting at a long wooden table covered with paperwork. Her clients, a young couple who had brought their 2-week-old baby, were finalizing a short sale on a townhouse that they were anxious to unload, even if it meant ruining their credit, because they had maxed out their credit cards trying to make the payments.
For Cleland, it was another example -- one of many this day -- of the broken promises of a president who she thought would be different. Obama pledged to change a Washington culture that favored corporations and the connected and lift families such as the one sitting next to Cleland out of their economic funk. Instead, she said, Obama handed billions of dollars to banks that continue to "act like they're broke" and started the country down a path that Cleland said she thinks will lead to more grief for the middle class.
"He's just not as advertised," she said. "Nothing's changed for the common guy. I feel like I've been punked."

sounds like the Washington Post is getting pissed!!!!
‘bout time!
You were, dipstick.
Well gal. Let me be the millionth to tell ya (but you didn’t listen to us before the election), You HAVE been punked.
Honeymoons over. Even the Washington Compost is telling the truth about what voters are thinking.
You voted for him, you go to Hell with him.
Wonder where the woman is who figured zero would pay her mortgage and put gas in her car. HA. She’s probably blaming everyone but zero.
Well, punked isn’t the word I’d use but mine does have a “u” and a “k” in it.
Obama bailed out his buddies on Wall Street, his buddies in union leadership, and his buddies in Congress. He doesn’t give a damn about those that make America great.
He’s just not as advertised,” she said. Nothing’s changed for the common guy. Where’s the free stuff? Where’s the guy who was gonna make my mortgage payments for me while he pumped free gas into my Nissan?”

Hey... great post :)
He may not be what was advertised but he is what he said he was.
“He’s just not as advertised,” she said. “Nothing’s changed for the common guy. I feel like I’ve been punked.”
No dumbas* - morons like you who voted for Hussein punked America. Now we are stuck with this POS.
Obama 2008
Biden 2009
You think you were punked? You just weren’t paying attention!
perfect 10
She could get a clue by checking into the story of Juan Peron.
Lotta people got "punked" by him, too. (is that what they're calling it now?)
I’m trying to figure out why these Obama people feel betrayed. This Marxist SOB told us what he was all about BEFORE the election.
But I suppose the dumb asses who voted for him never fully understood — or never understood AT ALL — that Marxism is all about SHARING THE MISERY. Execpt, of course, for those who manipulated and lied themselves to the top of the anthill.
Welcome to YOUR party, FOOLS!!!!
If you don’t mind, the rest of us will be leaving early.
Wow, this got past the WP editors - amazing.
“Nothing’s changed for the common guy. I feel like I’ve been punked.”
This would be great for a Tagline.
