Greg Smith, 46 from New York, has supported Barack Obama since the now-president announced his bid for the White House in 2007. But three years later the diehard Obamaniac has a sober admission: he’s losing hope.
In 2007, the New York Post featured Smith’s story — he was a converted Clinton supporter that left his work as a hotel doorman to campaign for Obama. Obama read the story and asked Smith to introduce him at a campaign event and also tell his story. He did, began campaigning for Obama full-time, and even was present backstage during the Democratic National Convention speech in Denver.
Obama won the election. Life was great — hope and change were alive. But now, reality has set in, and Smith — back at his old job – wonders aloud to the Post what happened:
Two years later, I’m living a more sober reality.
My life is not better. I‘m a college graduate and I still can’t get a good job.
I’m back working as a doorman at a Manhattan hotel earning peanuts because my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer and I need the health insurance again.
I share the same sentiments of Velma Hart, the woman who confronted Obama at a town hall last week, saying she was tired of defending him. The idea of leaving New York is even on the table.
Obama has let professional politicians take over the White House — and our dream of change.

He asked for it. We saw this train wreck coming.
Dance with the one who brung ya.
He’s just a racist.
My life is not better. I‘m a college graduate and I still can’t get a good job.”
What a dumbass
We knew that the true believers would be the hardest hit when the scales fall off their eyes and they see that Obama was smoke and mirrors.
Even after all that he still doesn't get it. He acts as though Øbongo was duped or left the back door open or something. He got exactly what he voted for even if he didn't get what he "wanted".
The typical bitter dregs that those who trust false prophets are forced to drink down.
As they say in Poker. Read’em and weep.
“I’m back working as a doorman at a Manhattan hotel earning peanuts because my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer and I need the health insurance again. “
A doorman at a Manhattan hotel earning peanuts? I call BS. Those are coveted jobs and stay in families/friends for generations.
I feel sorry for the wife with breast cancer, but this dolt got taken by hype. I have no sympathy for him.
Poor deluded fellow...Drank the Kool-Aid now doesn’t like the after-taste. Like Limbaugh has said... Invest in yourself...
We TOLD you this would happen.
Stop drinking the koolaide bro!
His czars are not politicians, they are Soros' crew.
Obama is a puppet president. Pelosi and Reid didn't write the bills they passed, they didn't read them, they didn't really know what was in them, and here is the kicker, neither did Obama. Listen to his speeches. Nothing but fluff. No detail. He doesn't know either. He defends them and signs them without really knowing what is in them either.
His job is to sell it. He doesn't have to have the whole picture, he just has to deliver the slogans. Did you wonder why he goes from vacation to vacation and never really spends much quality time governing? Now you know. He's Max Headroom.
And I bet your wife is sincerely sorry for marrying a HopeyChangey Loser who voted for a HopeyChangey Loser. You deserve no pity for your situation. You & 53% of the voters put us all in this dire predicament.
You're losing hope? Boo hoo. A lot of people who DIDN'T vote for this despicable bastard have lost a helluva lot more than you.
This moron still can’t bring himself to place the blame where blame is due.
“Obama has let professional politicians take over the White House...”
What did you get your degree in?
Liberal Arts?
Underwater Basket Weaving?
African Study's?
Losing hope and stuck with only change.
You know, it strikes me that blame -avoidance and blame-assigning are at the core of black culture in America. This guy must’ve have really thought Obama would be sending him checks in the mail. The entitlement mentality on display.
