49. White House says NO to wanting my vote

Thu Dec 15, 2011, 06:20 PM

Dec 2011

or anyone's who has really been paying attention. i mean come on honestly - would we be OK with this if George Bush were doing it? Hell no! And it makes it no less right that a Dem is doing it - in fact it makes it worse. For the thousandth time I've said this under Obama - This is NOT what I voted for! If I had wanted a republican acting president, I would have voted for one! The apologists need to wake up and see what the rest of us see - Obama's all talk, and he always caves. Stop letting his pretty words fool you - instead look at his actions.
