Well, I haven’t stopped being angry either….we had our chance to elect a real leader but thanks to a bunch of stupid people, we blew it.

It doesn’t make it easy to “let go” when not one day goes by that he doesn’t do something major that really pisses me off…it doesn’t ever let up!
I can’t stand to look at him or hear him speak in haughty tones…my mute button is wearing out!

You have to wonder how the vast majority of us here saw through Obama from the git-go but the Washington Hot Shots are just beginning to get it. It’s a pity that we all have to pay for the media’s blindsidedness.
They didn’t think that lack of experience or the proven ability to govern was an important attribute for a President.

Or perhaps they are just turning into racists….

Wonderful post Ani! We’ve got to keep the pressure on, and you’ve done so magnificently. I hope (there’s that word again) that as the coming weeks go by more of the MSM will come to the realization that they’ve been duped, and that ‘revelation’ will turn into the conventional wisdom.

Poor old Bill Clinton according to Obama a distraction and racist working the media trying to save Obama’s sorry ass- Obama’s people ought to look at Bill Clinton’s economic record. They have short memories unless they are receiving a dumbed down message Yes we can! Yes you can what ? Further fuck up the country

Hey I used to talk politics with a black Judge—- Said something negative about Obama the other day and he slammed my client in Court He can justify his actions at the Court of Appeals

Blacks are kicking whites butts They hold every high level government position in my county There are many talented individuals in the work force— In addition it’s a damn disgrace that 12% of the population can dominate professional sports Lazy white boys Tiger Woods is an American treasure

Shit why can’t this country elect someone who has actually had a job. The anti war candidate What bull shit— He the biggest fraud like Acorn in the history of this country—-There will not be another democratic president for 20 years Hillary should resign instead of work for this incompetent By the way the Republicans are just as incompetent If you believe 85% percent of the people in this country are satisfied with their health care you are dumber than dumb. One more thing just because your dumb enough to sign up for the military does not make you a hero in my book just because you like to play army.

I think Vidal talked himself into it based on Obama’s speeches — which he did not write.

This is also couched sexism. It reflects a predisposition to a man being more intelligent than a woman. Nonsense of course. Sheila Bair of FDIC is a case in point — they paid lip service to her being Treasury Secy but that was about it. She would have been a far better choice than Geithner.

Trixta, that BHO was the most intelligent person in the election process at that time is a palpable absurdity, since Hillary far outclassed him in every way, including intelligence. So my question is how could Vidal overlook this obvious fact and have some sort of change of heart that would make him choose BHO over Hillary? Has he been specific about what caused his change?

Many, perhaps most, of us who opposed Obummer were judging him as MLK requested: not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character (or lack thereof.) How many of those who supported him can honestly say the same? My guess: they are either racists or poor judges of character.

So Gore Vidal now regrets choosing BO over HRC:

Last year he famously switched allegiance from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama during the Democratic nomination process for president. Now, he reveals, he regrets his change of heart. How’s Obama doing? “Dreadfully. I was hopeful. He was the most intelligent person we’ve had in that position for a long time. But he’s inexperienced.

i think the msm are finally waking up to the fact that they’ve been had. fox news has beaten them to every story and their ratings are in the toilet. little by little they are waking from their koolaid stupor (theres just so much they can ignore without looking like the fools they are). they will turn on him soon and it wont be pretty. too bad its too little , too late.
