I'm totally done supporting this president.

That person would be our sitting president Barack Obama, how could a man that was such a chrismatic community leader and has such a dynamic personality become the corporate shill that he is today. This man admittedly smoked marijuana in his high school and college days, but he continues to wage a war against it. He claims to be a man of the people, yet tries to convince us that the NSA monitoring "metadata" isn't an invasion of our right to privacy. This is also a man who justifies drone strikes as legitimate and continues to keep open a glorified concentration camp in the name of protection from "terrorism". 

I will admit, I supported him in 2008, not just because of his charm or grace on the podium, but because of what he represents as an example of using your resources and intelligence to rise to hieghts that no one imagined. I really believe that he would go to washington and things would be different, things would get better and continue to do so. Well outside of the stock market, nothing has gotten better and everything as gotten worse. Sure, unemployment is down, but that is only due to the increase in "part-time" hires. These aren't jobs with a nice salary or imaginative benefits, these are meat grinders designed to rob you of your dignity as you beg for both hours and promotional opprotunities (which are non-existant). 

I believed him when he said he would have a transparent adminstration, that he would reign in the waste and the fraud that various government agencies are known to have. I thought he was serious about giving real change on issues that matter, but all of that was a smokescreen. He's no different than any other politician and it makes me ill to believe I had the wool pulled over my eyes. It makes me think that if a man with as diverse a backround as anyone, a man that has known stuggle and pain, would turn his back on the american people in this way. I done playing this political game of repulican and democrats, if the next person that runs isn't talking about serious reforms to almost of the laws on the books now in reguards to the drug war and things like the patriot act and FISA, then I no interest in anything they have to say. 

I was once a sheep that looked upon the shepard with reverence, but now I see that not only is he mearly human, but also corrupt and dishonest to his very core. 

Wait, are you telling me that this man is like every other politician that came before him?

Truly, there is nothing sacred left in this world.

Nothing's gonna change if people keep voting for the two major parties.

That's too bad, he could really use the votes next election.UCF_Knight

Let me splain it to you.. To get to the presidents office you make promises to powerful people/groups. If you get into the presidents office its time to pay back those promises..Class over..

Is everyone working on their comedic career in this thread? You folks do understand that these are very serious issues here....right?

Who the f*** cares.

U.S. election is about who you DON"T want into office, not who you WANT in. It's either him, McCain or Romney. As far as I'm concerned, congress is the number one threat to this country's future.

The only reason why I don't want a republican president is because I don't want to give the current GOP in congress any more power. 

[QUOTE="Zeviander"][QUOTE="chessmaster1989"]Who is this Barock Obama?chessmaster1989

The president is really good at blaming congress. Remember he came from congress. Was he blaming it then..

remember this..

Considering he's done after this term....what exactly would your support entail? Do you drive to the White House routinely and cheer for him?LJS9502_basic

Care to explain? 

You were overly foolish and idealistic to assume that he was going to "end the corruption and inefficiency of the Federal Government", especially now that we know that he doesn't even have the ability to get congress to let him do so and he was a lawyer before he became a politician. That doesn't mean that you should swing into the other extreme of the scale and become so cynical as to believe that he hasn't done much good. I consider "preventing the U.S. and global economy from sliding into Great Depression 2.0. and taking the first steps towards healthcare reform" to be pretty great achievements given the circumstances.

In any case, in both of his federal elections he was the superior candidate to his G.O.P. opponent by a fairly large margin so even if you feel badly about cheerleading for him, at least understand that your vote wasn't misplaced.

You stopped supporting the pres because he doesn't support an illegal drug? Fvcking weak manCapitan_Kid

It's not just the President, the whole system needs a complete overhaul.

Alright, Barack Obama had more than Mitt Romney. Regardless, they had the most when comparing to the other candidatesAckad

Obama campaign spent $985.7 million on the 2012 election
Romney Campaign spent $992 million. 

Of course money is important when it comes to running for office. Especially for local / state seats but it's pretty obvious money wasn't the deciding factor for the 2012 presidential election.

He's a hypocrit for that, but I at lease understand the position he's in, he can't be the first black president and legalize weed, white people would never forgive him (just joking). you must have missed the part of my post that dealt with his blantant lies in other areas.Yusuke420
