That's not true.
I am critical of all politicians. Obama just happens to be in the White House at the moment.
I actually agree with about 90% of what Obama has said he was going to do.
I disagree with about 50% of what he has actually done.
And I'm upset over 100% of the things he said he would do (and then didn't) that gave me some foolish (and naive) notion that he was going to somehow be "different".
In these discussions I'm more interested in the guys who are running things. Not the minority party who hold power in the House..but can't get anything ever past Harry Reid in the Senate...much less get it signed into law by the President.
From where I sit, Pres. Obama is The Man. And when the plans that The Man makes go wrong...it's The Man who I am going to question.
Boehner, Cruz, and the rest of the Republicans? They have no power to do much of anything at all. So why waste my breath on them?
Now come November...if the Republicans take the Senate, we will see a different environment in Washington.
The Republicans will then have power.
Then we can debate their stupidity.
But for the last 5 years...nope. This was Pres. Obama's watch. And for the first couple of years the Dems had full control.
And blew it.
But we'll see.
Who knows? Maybe he will be like Clinton was. And with an opposition party as the majority in the Senate and House... he may finally shine and be the Pres. I had hoped for.
Let's fucking hope so.
To me he's the most disappointing Pres. of my lifetime.
I didn't expect much from the others. And they lived up to that. lol
Clinton was somebody I voted for and then thought I had made a horrible mistake (his first couple of years)...but then he came through (until his last couple of years when the Republicans dragged him down over stupid sex scandals).
So Bill Clinton was the one President of my adult life that I felt kicked ass.
The rest of them? Not so much.
But Obama gets my most disdain. He let me down the hardest. Starting with health care.
Remember when he said that it was going to be "transparent" when they wrote the health care law and be broadcast LIVE every step of the way on CSPAN for all of America to see?
Lied.
And that was just the start.
I think many of us set the bar very high because we believed Obama's campaign speeches.
Maybe he was a victim of his own success at giving speeches?
But whatever the reason...I can't wait for his Presidency to be over.
I really think that it will be just like the end of the Carter Presidency...the economy will finally pick back up once he's out.
I'll be voting Libertarian. But since I know I'll be outnumbered by sheep voting Dem and Repub...I hope that Hillary wins and brings Bill with her. I think that the experience those two have will enable them to get the country rolling again.
And that's all just opinion on my part.
