I have recently noticed that when I see certain bumper stickers that disparage Obama, while my very first reaction is that it must be a conservative/Republican, my immediate second thought is that it also very well may be a disappointed liberal/progressive/Democrat.
I don't think I've ever had that experience with any other politician/candidate/bumper sticker.
I also don't like the fact that I'm very ambivalent about even posting this observation on this forum.

(24,461 posts)Liberals/progressives/Democrats disappointed with President Obama know better than to give Republican knuckle-draggers more ammo. Anti-Obama stickers are pretty much sported by those "Miss Me Yet?" Teabag idiots who want a white Republican male back in the White House to nail the door shut on progress once and for all.

(17,742 posts)I saw one the other day that seemed really mild, so mild that it made me wonder.
I can't recall what it said, but it seemed to express disappointment rather than hostile mocking or something.
But after a moment of thinking about it I concluded that the driver was an idiot for having the sticker, no matter their intention.

(16,350 posts)Liberals who oppose Obama would probably just remove their Obama stickers. But I see a lot of them on bumpers still.
A lot of people still believe in him passionately, or maybe they just are too scared of a Repub presidency and that's their way of showing it. .

(15,686 posts)expected disappointed liberals/progressives/Democrats starting during the primaries. The man was expected to perform miracles. The behavior on DU was so bad I found it difficult to get behind him after he won the primaries. I did vote for him, of course, and I haven't been disappointed. He is pretty much what I expected. And some people have reacted exactly as I expected. I only hope their disappointment isn't big enough to advertise on a bumper sticker.
