You have no idea what you are talking about.
First off we are not Obamtrons as you call us. We are not robots, sheeple or any other smear you chose to throw at us... we are fellow citizens who
are concerned about our country.
Concerned about your country? Really? I don't think so, and here's why:
You voted for a man who has promised to cut military spending at a time when foreign relations are needed most? There are pirates seizing ships left
and right off the coast of Africa and the only thing that will help stop it is a unified military strike aginst them. Oh and let's not forget about
Iran. They now say they have enough nuclear material to make a bomb. Nice huh?
You've voted for a man who says he will nationalize an entire country's health care system when the same model was recently shown to fail in just
seven months in Hawaii.
You voted for the man who flip flopped on oil drilling so many times that he can't make up his mind on it. Now he wants to invest over a trillion
dollars over 10 years on renewable sources of energy with no guaranteed results as to jobs, profits or electricity payoffs. If we started drilling for
oil right now on our OWN land, we could put to work tens of thousands of Americans AND take those first steps toward energy independence.
What about his hesitancy to building nuclear reactors? Now many jobs will that cost? What about his disdain of the coal industry, including clean
coal? How many jobs will that cost?
What about his tax cuts? You've elected a man who wants to increase corporate taxes at a time when the nation is headed into a depression. What
should be happening is taxes should be lowered to encourage the creation of new jobs now that we are at 6.5% unemployment. Higher taxes are going to
encourage corporations to further outsource their employment operations.
You say you're concerned about your country??? I say you're concerned about YOU and not about the rest of America. You're concerned about getting
Bush out of the White House and your vote for the above speaks loud and clear.
Second: our support for him has far less to do with bush minor and more about the direction Republicans and their policies have taken
this country than anything else.
So again, you're joining the throngs of liberals who are blaming all of the nations problems on Republicans, eh? The last two years of a
Congressional Democratic majority had nothing to contribute to the downturn of our nation's economy? 9/11 had nothing to do with screwing the U.S. up
either right? It was all the fault of the Republicans. Yeah.
Third: The Liberal/progressive press (and not the mainstream media of your fantasies) and us liberals and progressives in general are not going to
spend the next 4 years or more trying to justify his policies like the conservative/Republican press has done. If we don't like the direction he is
going we will tell him and make it known.
And risk squashing the royalties from their multi-million dollar documentary/movie/tv show deals about the life and times of Obama that were made? I
seriously doubt it! Money speaks louder than loyalty.
Don't believe me? Go to some of the liberal/progressive websites like alternet.org or
inthesetimes.com or motherjones.com they are already criticizing him for some of his picks and policy changes even before he's been sworn in.
When did those sites qualify as Mainstream Media?
We will hold his feet to the fire if need be and if need be abandon him next election cycle.
ROFLMAO!!! I seriously doubt that. But like I said, you'll get plenty of chances to prove that statement correct.
