White suburban moderates who view themselves as sophisticated and enlightened thought it was time for the US to elect a black man to the White House.Four years ago I told people that I had grave misgivings about Barack Obama because when I looked at his record I simply didn't "see" anything that made me think he was qualified for the job as Chief Executive of the United States.
Four years later my misgivings have turned out to be well founded (and trust me I'm not patting myself on the back because it was pretty obvious that was the case back in 2008...I'm not some "master political prognosticator") and once again the country is being asked to elect a man who is unqualified for the job of President. I find it hard to fathom that there are intelligent people out there that CAN'T see that a mistake was made in 2008. The truth is, the Democratic nominee that year should have been Hilary Clinton and I think even hardcore progressives realize that. But now you progressives are "stuck" with Barack Obama whether you want him or not and if he's successful in his reelection bid, then the country is stuck with him as well...subjecting us to yet another four years with no leadership coming from the Oval Office.
My question is this...
What were you people thinking when you elected a Junior Senator with zero legislative ability and zero executive ability? How the heck did we end up with Barry as our President?
These same people cannot stand themselves. They fee l guilty over their successes. They are ashamed that they are living the American Dream while other are not so fortunate.
It is these people who put Obama in office.
Now they are paying for their self hatred. They are the ones who have seen their homes lose ten years of equity. They have watched their jobs disappear. They have cut back on spending and watched their savings accounts dry up. They have had to pull their kids out of private school.
All because they voted for a person with zero management experience, zero policy experience and worst of all, a politician cut from the cloth of crooked Chicago politics.
