Could it be that President Barack Obama's Midas touch is starting to dull a bit, even among members of his own party?
Conservative House Democrats are balking at the cost and direction of Obama's top priority, an overhaul of the nation's health care system. A key Senate Democrat, Max Baucus of Montana, complains that Obama's opposition to paying for it with a tax on health benefits "is not helping us."
Another Democrat, Rep. Dan Boren of Oklahoma, tells his local newspaper that Obama is too liberal and is "very unpopular" in his district.
However the office of the President should be respected not and slandered with calling him the Antichrist.
So my point is....don't beat yourself up for buying in, a lot of people did. Im pretty sure as it stood it was a lose /lose election for the American voters anyway.

I'm not a Democrat but I voted for Pres. Obama. But like many others the bloom is off the rose for me also. I admit, I expected something different; like bringing our troops home from a war that is a no win situation. Like not sweeping the Bush corruption under the rug, and not being a shill for big business but working for the middle class for a change.
I was wrong! However the office of the President should be respected not and slandered with calling him the Antichrist. As much as I disliked President Bush; the office deserves better than adolescent name calling.
