(61,033 posts)No one agrees with everything a candidate does. You listed several things that you believe in that the President is fighting for. You also list several policy points of the President that you disagree with. We are all in that same boat. There are things that the President hasn't done ( ormaybe hasn't gotten to yet because of the huge amount of Bush garbage he had to clean up) that I wish he had but I agree with him and the dems on many more things than I do the repugs. And remember all the obstructionists repugs who have made it extremely difficult for the President and his party to accomplish many things. Even his major accomplishment, the Affordable Care Act had to be watered down just to get it passed but I'm thinking that the President takes the long view on things and understands that the ACA as presently written is the gateway to eventually getting single payer healthcare for everyone. I'm saying all that to simply say that no candidate is going to think exactly like you and do exactly what you want done when you want it done. Politically sometimes it's not possible and sometimes things take more time to get done than anticipated. Please don't regret wasting your vote if Rmoney gets in because then you'll really have a president that you don't agree with.
