are the liberals sad about Obama?

He'll get to the gays eventually; in case nobody has noticed, the guy's been kind of busy with more important issues, like saving the country from financial collapse, restoring our image in the world, and dealing with annoying Republican pests, such as the one in the clip below.

Do you really think he would have had a chance in hell of getting $2 trillion dollars for the economy?

Isn't compromise the best way to get things done in government?

Maybe -- but it doesn't matter because this wasn't a compromise. A compromise would have been that he demand a $2 trillion dollar package (or a bit more), and then have Congress negotiate him down. That would have been a compromise. But that's not what he did. Instead, his opening bid in the negotiation was already a seriously inadequate bill. What was Obama's best selling book title again? The Timidity of Hope?

I believe many liberals were very excited with the opportunity to vote for a Black candidate for President. Then he won. Many may now appear sad, since it might feel anticlimactic, a la Sinatra singing, " Is That All There Is."

I know you're basically brain-dead, Rapist Boy, but consider the numbers--the deficit added up to three or four trillion. Mr. Obama has not spent three or four trillion, which is what would have been required to have doubled the deficit

I don't think as many people did that as the right would like us to believe. The exception is the black community. But even they would not have voted in those numbers for a black Republican, in my view.

I have seen figures that Obama has put America at risk of spending several trillion, that is he as guaranties out there that may end up costing the taxpayer trillions more than has already been spent. We will not know for sometime, but it is certainly possible that in the first 5 months between money spent and money promised that Obama has doubled the deficit....

I believe many younger voters were enamored with the thought they they could now prove their "liberal" views by voting for Obama. It was also, I believe, a thing with being part of the "in" crowd, you know, being as cool as Blacks can be, and not Whites

You don't think it might have had something to do with the fact that he's highly educated, has plenty of energy & drive, is obviously very smart, plus extremely articulate (especially when compared to his predecessor) do you?)

I believe that is horse crap

the word you are looking for is "progressive", by voting for obama and helping his effort they were proving to themselves how much more advanced they are than previous generations. They are certainly easier to swindle, because they don't understand basic concepts like power, they don't know history, they don't know themselves nor what humanity is like, and they are blind to the dark side of the force. They are poorly educated which makes them great marks for the con men.

You really are a one trick pony, Om. How is it possible that a mind that is supposed to be mensa quality can be so one track?
