The Mainstream Press saw to it that Obamas true nature was not obvious to the Low Information Voter. Anyone who did their homework knew exactly what we were getting. Well, he's paid the AP back for their gullibility - and I'm ever so sure he's paid other reporters and editors back too...
On the lighter brighter side, reporters don't have to worry about going to jail to protect a source anymore...

The usurper promised to fundamentally transform America. He dismissed those who cling to God and guns, and he implied that he would do his best to spread our wealth around against our will. The thug in our White House is exactly what anyone paying attention expected, except for the bonus that at least Obama is too lazy to do as much damage as he wanted to.

It was mostly young people marching from varied backgrounds. Many of these parades ended up in front of the White House where chants of "goodbye Bush" (or some variation thereof) began. It was the same slogan heard as Barack Obama was sworn in as president in January 2009 and Bush flew away in a helicopter... I take it Heather never saw the 'rent a mob' ads in Craig'sList that democrats ran to hire their young 'protesters'.

In 2007-2008, I decided to look into Obama and here is what I knew well before the 2008 election: I knew he had no experience. I knew he had used unethical tactics to win his State seat and then his US Senate seat. I knew he had listed both Rev Wright and Father M Pfleger as mentors on his mybarackobama.com page. I knew that most of his voting record was empty (mostly voting present) except when he voted three times against BAIPA. I knew his mother and his grandparents were sympathetic to Communists. Basically I knew a lot about him and tried to tell my (former) friends who were Leftists what he really was. I was rewarded with the racist epithet. They didn't want to know. We're are in heap big doo-doo now and many people still have scales over their eyes. I fear it is too late for our country.

I agree Guantanamo should be closed - right after the 166 prisoners are hanged.

Heather, to believe in 2008 that you were being served a Nutella sandwich, you had to ignore the container, the look and the smell. To order another one in 2012 you also had to ignore the taste of the previous one.

My Obama loving sister and her husband are looking green around the gills these days. I wonder how long until their statue of Obama disappears from their bookshelf.

“You can argue that Republicans have blocked President Obama from doing just about anything.”
Ummm. He had majorities in both houses, including for a while a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. He got through all his own party could stomach.

“I wanted a more transparent and accountable government... and I thought I’d get it by voting for a guy who sealed every personal record ever established, by voting “present “ on most controversial issues and who just seemed to have a problem proving where he was born. “
Excellent post!

Bless your heart, Heather: you’re right.
This is not the president we voted for, it’s the president YOU voted for.
And I’ll bet you argued with conservatives and called us names and behaved in general as if you knew best and we were crazy.
Even now you defend your vote by blaming the person you voted for instead of admitting that you made a mistake.

Heather is giving democrip voters/supporters/worshippers a way to cease their magic thinking regarding the half-black liar-in-chief. Her musings work to remove some of the copper shine off of that zinc penny in the white house.
