You know, I regretted my vote in 2004 for John Kerry. It was the first time I had voted for a candidate that wasn't from a third party, but I wanted Bush outta there so bad I could taste it, so I held my nose and voted for Kerry, convincing myself that anything, anyone had to be better than Bush. In 2008 I, like every other sucker who voted for Obama, bought into the fancy speeches, the glossy rhetoric, the idea of Yes We Can! and the thought that America could be a respectable country again...
Well, No We Can't, apparently.
What's that old saying? Hind sight is 20-20? God, if I'd known that Obama was gonna morph into Bush 2.0, On Fucking Steroids, I never would have voted for him. That vote for Obama literally makes me want to crawl on the floor, curl up into a fetal position and cry.
Bill Maher said on CNN the other day that he thought Obama looked beaten, wimpy, wussy. I think that was a bit kind, because I think Obama looks like a cynical politician who is doing the politically expedient thing to protect his position of power. I think he looks like a man who forgot every word he said, every promise he made on the campaign trail the minute he took that oath. I'm not saying that he would have been able to keep every promise he made while he campaigned, but I am saying that the guy has no backbone, no fight, no balls, no nothin'! Either that, or he really is just a Republican in Democratic clothes.
Massive Fails - Let's just look at the list:
1. Health Care - Fail
2. Financial Reform - Fail
3. Help for Mortgage Holders - Fail
4. Guantanamo - Fail
5. Extraordinary Rendition/Torture - Fail (In fact, he's worse than Bush, e.g. ordering the assassination(s) of American-born citizens with no due process)
6. Respect for the Rule of Law - Fail
7. Environment/Climate Change - Fail
8. Protection For the Middle/Working Class - Fail
It's fucking depressing. And the thing that's truly scary? Because of all this, we could actually end up with a President
