Great post. Stars for you buddy.. Glad someone is willing to admit their mistakes. When we are able to do that, it makes us better human beings.

When I saw George Bush Jr. elected TWICE, I knew without a doubt that the voting system was manipulated and controlled. No doubt. I don't know how people still have any faith left in the system of (s)elections being even slightly honest.

Frankly I think your taking this wayyy to personal. We could literally almost word for word add other names of former "commander in chiefs", but people were alot more forgiving with them. We as a nation want representation, but base it on a popularity contest, as opposed to change. I think that even if Sarah Palin ran and won, we would not be saying as much about her.

Its been almost 3 years, hes about to hit the door, maybe now we can concentrate on the other potentially harmful people that will replace him. As I am sure that he is just keeping the seat warm in the oval office, for the next person who will continue the reign of destroying this nation, our rights, our freedoms, and our finances.

If people believe that all we have to do is suck it up for another year and then its smooth sailing is not living in the real world. If we had to start thinking that after Obama leaves, then we can all go back to the way it was, we would literally need a time machine, a four leaf clover, a rabbits foot, and maybe even the possible revelation of unicorns and bigfoot.... all at once.

Peace, NRE.

Don;t feel bad, Bush suckered in many people too.
Listen to his campaign speeches where he talks about America as not being the world's policeman and having a non-interventionist foreign policy. Ditto for Clinton.
They're used car salesmen, nearly every one of them.
No surprise that everything tastes like lemons.

Ready to give up on bipartisan politics?

People voted in 2006 for Change, then in 2008 they again voted for change, then in 2010 the voters voted for yet another change.

But nothing changes.

Everyone who voted for change in any of these elections should be disappointed.

I don't think voting will lead to change.

AS for the Obama and the trade it in mind set, it's similar to the tea party supporting tax breaks for the wealthy, but expecting the union workers to make sacrifices....

Same ol same ol

I know what you mean. I voted for him too. Campaigned for him as well.
Raised a lot of money for him. I only wish I knew then what I know now.
Obama is a CIA shill. Bought and paid for by Goldman Sachs. And now
Goldman Sachs is our defacto government...

They are sneaky and clever. They create all kinds of distractions to keep
us divided. Just about every time any kind of real organization comes together,
they sneak in with their power and money and their next thing you know they have control.
Just like the Koch brothers did with the Tea Party.

Remember the movie, "They Live"? Special sunglasses were needed to see that some humans were actually aliens. The aliens were broadcasting a signal that blocked people from seeing the truth. In the end, the signal was destroyed and the aliens were fully exposed.

Fast forward to 2008. There was mass psychosis. We saw people literally fainting at BO's campaign rallies, like he was some kind of rock star on tour. People haven't fainted like that since the days of the Beatles first tour of America. I've never seen people get so worked up over a politician, especially a politician with such a questionable and unknown background. The media was with him lock-step and got him elected. They did NOT do any vetting at all. It was almost as if half the country had been placed under a hypnotic trance. Unfortunately, a lot of them are still under that trance, but many, like the OP, are finally starting to snap out of it.

I remember trying to reason with family members why they should not vote for him, but all they would do is shout me down by chanting "o-ba-ma" over and over again like they were in some kind of a trance. Very strange.

Wake up America!

As much as I agree with the OP, if I had to do it again, I'd still vote for him. McCain scared the hell out of me. No matter how bad it seems now, it could be much worse.

I guess the lesson I learned was to never vote for either party ever again. Ever.

The same election system process is the same in eupore and elsewhere basically you can vote but your vote is meaningless.

The elites already know who to choice.

In the euporean union all leaders have to be pro Washington, if however by chance there are some whom are pro russia, the elites will send you to an early assassination.
