I have been chatting with a number of people who voted for Obama in 2008. I have noticed during the last two years that quite a few of them have commented that Obama was not who they thought he was. They really believed that Obama was someone unique and different compared to the candidates of the past. They all thought he was so special. Quite a few were taken in (or should I say hypnotized) by his speaking skills. I am not sure what they thought Obama would bring to the White House and what he would do for Americans, but they all expected him to be worthy of all the love he received during election season.
Now many of those who voted for him have become upset and shocked at what he has done since he took office, and are greatly worried for the future. Many have expressed tremendous remorse in voting for him. One woman told me she fell for the hype (she fell in love with the way he spoke), but now looks back and wonders what the hell she was thinking in supporting him.
I told her point-blank that she was a stupid idiot for voting for him.
She did not say anything in response.
Anyone else with similar stories of buyer's remorse out there?
