A lot of people are second guessing their vote now because they
based it on emotion.
There were so many signs that Obama was using the old, if you can't convince them with facts, dazzle them with 
Few if any good decisions are made based on emotion, because it
clouds reality.
A lot of people dazzled by BS and wishful thinking. |

“I really thought there would be immediate change,” she said.

A 76y/o that believed, unquestionably, what she heard? Shocking.
I know exactly what I'm opening the door for but... There is a reason why the elderly are some of the number 1 targets of scamsters. (Cue calls of calling Obama a scammer, and man of only rhetoric.)
People that don't critically consider each candidate should not vote. People that voted for Obama because he made them feel good and "liked what he said" are idiots. Just as there should be a test before people can have kids, there definitely should be a test before people can vote. |

From what i saw, many of his followers that worked on his campaign,
that would be a very high percent, including the young, who swooned,
fainted and looked at him with wist full eyes at his rallies.
Add that to those looking for a hand out, he was a shoo in.
Fortunately or unfortunately the older people lived in a generation when
a man's word was as good as his bond and people could be trusted.
Unless they learned some wisdom along the way and saw the changes,
they tend to get burnt. |

So.......... they should have voted for him for his accomplishments? His years of foreign experience? His extensive leadership experience? His financial background?
Looks like the majority of the people that voted for him would fall into that category Johnny. Then there is the large percentage that voted for him based on the color of his skin.  |

They should have voted for him because they align with his stance on Foreign Affairs, Education, Abortion, Marijuana, Same Sex Issues, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Stem Cell Research and Capital Punishment more so than they align with McCain.
You already know my opinion about the majority of people that vote - uninformed, politically ignorant people should not be voting. If someone cannot take the time to determine what issues they are campaigning on and look at a person's voting history, then that person should not vote. Most people that vote, probably shouldn't.
It would take under 2 hours over the course of a week to do research on the candidates and choose one whose views are most in line with yours. |

Since you're so well informed, how exactly would you define a "Radical Marxist".
Do me a favor though. Use your own words, not some copy/paste. |

Ahhh, but Johnny with the exception of Iraq, all of those were just things he SAID. At lease with Iraq, he voted against it. Everything else is speculation based on Obama's promises. |
