How's is working for you??/

Like the bumper sticker says... "Voted for Obama... So how's this change thing working for you?"... What were these people thinking? You took a Senator, with the least experience of any presidential candidate EVER... With the MOST liberal voting record EVER.... Gave him both houses of congress... WHAT DID YOU all expect to happen?!! Let’s just hope NOTHING happens before the rest of the country can vote again to UNDO the errors of this past election…

Obama will go down as the worst and most corrupt president in history

We could not have done worse. He has surrounded himself with radicals and is pushing a leftist agenda down our throats. America's little experiment had been a dismal failure and 2012 cannot come fast enough for me.

Voters last night answered that question............

America is sick of ACORN, Van jones, man/boy jennings, Moveon.org, Ayers Wright, Flager, Dunn, Emanuel and the rest of the radical left that is running the show. America is a right center nation, and Obama promised to represent all Americans but he bold faced lied and he will find out in 2010 just what happens to liars.
