I still love Obama. Love. Love. Love.
Am I the last person in America who still adores the president?

Just before Halloween 2008, while out for a walk, I noticed that on the front porch of a nearby house sat a row of five pumpkins, each carved with one letter of Barack Obama's last name. The election was, at that point, a week away, and I was charmed by this seasonal display of Democratic support.
Then I rounded the corner and spotted the exact same arrangement: a row of five pumpkins, each carved with one letter of Obama's last name. OK, so maybe not quite as original as I'd thought but still encouraging, at least for a liberal like me living in a swing state — my neighborhood, after all, is not in Brooklyn or Berkeley but in suburban St. Louis, Mo., a state that ultimately, by a margin of 0.1 percent, didn't go for Obama in '08.
This Halloween, it was clear that if I wanted to see a row of jack-o'-bamas, I'd need to carve them myself. Once it was impossible not to trip over Obama enthusiasm. (Remember the young voters unofficially changing their middle names to Hussein?) But these days, even YouTube sensation Obama Girl is feeling lukewarm about our president: Obama Girl, aka Amber Lee Ettinger, told the New York Post in January she'd give Obama a B- grade: "In my opinion, I feel like he should be focusing a lot more on jobs and the economy."
But my own feelings haven't changed at all. Two years after voting for him, I'm just as exhilarated as Oprah Winfrey was in Grant Park on Nov. 4, 2008.

If you’ve ever wondered what your stomach would feel like after downing a couple of tablespoons of Drano, just read this article and you’ll know.
Hey, there are rumors the Obamas might get a divorce, so.... maybe Curtis can see if she can hook up with Barry. (If she can get past Reggi Love)
Curtis, you are a complete sycophantic moron.
If you want your car totaled for insurance purposes: Place an Obama sticker on the bumper, park it at a mall or high traffic street. Go have a few nectars. Come back and be ready to call the insurance company. Wonder if this person is trying the same game with their house?
no one but a Chicago paper hanger, no, no, I mean, a Chicago paper reader........
Get a room Curtis.
Laughing very much.
“Folks, you can’t fix stupid.”
Even my cat could sense how sicking this article was and upchucked a hairball under the desk.
Curtis in Wonderland.
“(Remember the young voters unofficially changing their middle names to Hussein?)
No, I don’t.”
Wait, the President’s middle is Hussein?
Well, Obama DID finally destroy the myth of the “moderate” Democrat.
Brilliant!!! LOL
I guess the kool-aid in her neighborhood was stronger than most.
Obamacare will pay for my sex change!
You know, after what he has done to the Democrat party, I have to say I kinda like him too. Hopefully he’ll keep up the good work until ‘12 when we kick his ass out.
I still love Obama. Love. Love. Love.

Curtis has a problem.
No wonder Curtis has a problem.
(There, I fixed it...)
Now, THAT was funny. lol
I thought this article was satire, but I guess not.
In which case, the author is downright scary.
Dude! I understand that you’re angry and disappointed but there’s no reason to lash out at Timmy.
All he did was throw a whole bunch of pitches that were not hit.
