This liberal now opposes Obama

This liberal now opposes Obama

As a liberal who voted twice for Obama, I have now reached a point of opposition to him. One of my reasons is a resentment of his having played the race card too many times. The result is that his presidency is hurting race relations.

Another of my reasons is that he shows no knowledge of how to create jobs for minorities or anyone else, but he knew how to bail out the big banks, and he knew how not to prosecute any of their officials.

Also, Obama expanded provisions of the Patriot Act, and illegal surveillance has occurred on his watch. Until he shows a desire for reform, whistle blowers will continue to blow his cover.

He continues to show ineptitude in managing our foreign policy in the Middle East. To make matters worse, he has protracted the war in Afghanistan.

Despite his rhetoric decrying the demise of the middle class, he has done them few favors with Obamacare. The poor get subsidies, the rich remain secure, but there is no subsidy for a vast chunk of the middle class. Should middle class people continue to take it on the chin, one more election with the same result could vanquish us.

Having erred in my vote in the last two elections, I will think long and hard before I select Hillary or any other candidate of either party. My trust has been eroded.

Of course they can’t wait to vote for Hillary in 2016.

Not only that....

Sven-Thor Halvördsen, Chairman of the Nobel Awards Committee that meets every four years in Oslo, Norway, may be having second thoughts as to the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Barack 0bama, an unprecedented grant of the notable award to someone who had done, well, essentially nothing.

While driving a team of huskies on his annual vacation dogsled race from Närvik to Kirkenes near the Arctic Circle, a family tradition, Sven-Thor was overheard stating “Vi virkelig skrudd opp, gav vi dette til en idiot.”, which loosely translated, means “We really screwed up, we gave this thing to an idiot.”

In a second comment, Sven-Thor said “På den annen side, ville jeg passe på å få meg en liten smak av at Sarah Palin, hun ville bare rette på disse lange kjøre hundeslede løp” which, translated, means “On the other hand, I’d sure like to get me a little taste of that Sarah Palin, she’d be just the right thing for these long dogsled races”.

Hundslede, indeed.

Just kidding.

Obama: You voted for me both times. That’s as far as this relationship goes. Now you can FO.

” award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Barack 0bama, an unprecedented grant of the notable award to someone who had done, well, essentially nothing.”

The objective was to slap George Bush in the face. (This was quoted in an article as being stated by one of the Nobel committee members.) Essentially, Obama won by not being George Bush.

I think this is a Repub/conservative posing as a lib to try and get some thoughts across to the brain-dead Left.

NO real lib would be sick of the race card, ever. It’s the ace in the hole of liberalism.

These people are slooooow. I’m all for change of heart, but note that hope, though damaged, is still holding out the possibility of voting for Hillary!

The possibility! Should be a no-brainier N. O., right?

Sloooooow...

Rock Island was once a part of a massive, two state ag tractor manufacturing complex.
It's 90 percent gone now, thanks to the UAW.

Here’s my message to this liberal: You suck. You had the same chance I did to grow up, face reality and understand how things work. If it took you five years of this Kenyan asswipes treason to figure out he’s no good, it must be because you’re stupider than my dog and nowhere near as honest. Die scum.
