Where's the Obama I Voted For?
CBS News ^ | 1-21-2010 | Jonathan Cohn

Posted on 01/21/2010 8:05:27 AM PST by Paul46360

If you’ve been a Democrat for more than two or three years, disappointment with your leaders is something that comes rather naturally. From the 1970s until well into the previous decade, the party produced presidents and presidential candidates like Jimmy Carter, Michael Dukakis, and John Kerry. These men weren’t lovable losers. They were just losers. Even the lone winner among them--Bill Clinton--famously and infamously found ways to disappoint.

Obama was NOT elected for his leadership skills, his ability to handle changing conditions or his ability to work with people. He wasn’t elected for those attributes because he had no demonstratable experience with those situations.

He WAS elected because he campaigned well and because of white guilt. Neither of those attributes serve him well as a leader.

He either did a good con job on you or you were to brain dead to think for yourself.

"When you’re done with Mr. Cohn, please tell him to call my office for a rare, limited-time opportunity to profit from bridge ownership in Brooklyn."

OK...but only after I sell him a rare autographed copy of the first edition of "Confederacy of Dunces" signed by the author.

You are absolutely correct!

The average white bleeding-heart liberal (I call him/her ‘Jo Merlot’) got suckered by the greedy, selfish unions, and Emperor Daley’s Chicago-machine.

BO is just the empty suit - But his superficial qualities were greedily embraced by the union thugs and the Chicago-machine because they knew that Barack would be the greatest affirmative action coup ever.

“But... where’s the hope and change? “ I have a coworker (white, beta-male, guilty conscience Baby Boomer) who bought into all the alternate energy credits crap. Yes, he is still waiting for his $20,000 reimbursement from the federal government for installing solar panels on his house almost a year ago.

His mailbox is just like Barack’s suit - Empty!

Caveat emptor Liberals!

Cohn continued, “And where is the deed to that bridge I bought? Guess I’ll go retire to that acreage I purchased in the Everglades, if I can ever find it.”

Where is the Obama I voted for????? He never was vetted. The DNC just put him in with millions of dollars worth of advertising kind of like a can of soup you must try. Is it any wonder we got what they paid for and which we now have to support at the risk of losing the most exceptional country God every shed His Grace on?????

“The obama the dimrats voted for doesn’t exist. “

And the voters can blame idiots at places like CBS for not covering the real Obama, and doing absolutely zero background investigation.

Scumbags.

When O got elected I wrote that the barking dog has finally caught the school bus its been chasing, and we are now about to see what he can actually do with it. Well, now we know...lots of barking, growling, ripping up the upholstery, pooping on the floor and peeing on the tires. What did you expect?

The Obama that you voted for never existed. Candidate Obama was an empty suit and no one in the MSM ever investigated Obama’s background, his association with radicals like Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers, his political affiliations or even questioned his total lack of experience. A few in talk radio revealed the true Obama, but were ignored by the MSM. Joe the plumber actually got Obama to admit what he intended, but was vilified. Obama promised platitudes and good things but gave no specifics on what his change would actually mean. Now we all know what type of change he had in mind...converting the US into a socialist state.

They come to office as idealistic dreamers and lose their idealism when they get their first forced glimpse of the real world as it exists outside of their academic delusions. Their idealism is replaced by a certain envious rapacity that informs the balance of their administrations.

> Where’s the Obama I Voted For?

Jonathan, the Obama you voted for is being kept somewhere... safe. Along with his pesky birth certificate, military registration forms, academic records including signed scholarship applications, all the pasports proving his citizenship(s), his full medical records, and the Lost Ark of the Covenant. These are all somewhere... safe. And our top men are working on it right now. Top. Men.

Don’t worry about it.

The new Obama is much better. You are going to like the new Obama!

The democrat Party IS a lie...
All democrats are duped... to be a democrat is to be a dupe..

No democracy ever invented was democratic..
Cause democracy itself is a lie.. it is MOB Rule.. by mobsters..

Its always been that way from the 1st democracy..
Democracy is a consortium of mobs or outright dictatorship..
There is always the main MOB... with the main mobster(s).. Democracy is a matter of Territorys NOT States..
Each MOB gets a territory.. to farm the inhabitants..

Democracy is indispensable to socialism. The goal of socialism is communism. -V.I. Lenin

It was a slick illusion pulled off by the best Hollywood tricks that can be bought. He said nothing and used language that allowed everyone to fill in their own ideas of what he was. None of you would listen as those of us who saw throguh this tried to warn you. You called us racist and other assorted nasty adjectives. Perhaps next time you will listen rather than be tempted down the wrong path again?

Just like the senators who claimed they were fooled by the CIA and Bush in order to support the Iraq War, here we have more people who cannot take responsibility for their own actions. No wonder they were so susceptible.

But, Obama did not fool anybody.

They were warned loud and often. They just didn't want to listen.

The comments by “pythoncharlyten” at the link, mostly in all CAPS of course, show a truly unhinged and therefore typical leftwing mindset. Scary, really, that there are people — a LOT of them — who actually “think” like that...
