I have to start out by saying I was the worlds biggest supporter of Barack Obama. I listened to ever debate, read every transcript, watched every news report, argued over how great of a man he is, and even donated to the campain (before Hillary dropped out). With that said as of late I have become more and more critical of him. Although I still believe he's made great strides to not only put a stopper on what was quickly becoming a second great depression, he's changed the way americans are viewed around the world.
He did however make two promises that made be want to support him very early on. Promise 1, end "Don't Ask Don't Tell". Promise two "Bring our men and women in the military home responsibly". Don't ask, don't tell could have been ended the first day the president took office, with the swipe of a pen he could have upheld that promise to the gay and lesbian community, here we are a year later and that promise remains unkept. The POS also promised to begin bringing our men and women in the military home. In March, the POS agreed to send 4000 more troops overseas, doing exactly the opposite of what he promised to do.
These are only two examples, but these two examples represent voters and their reason for electing him in the first place. It appears as though those that believed in him and has so much hope have begun to lose faith in him. All across the country in local and state races people are once again doing the tragic practice of voting republican. Take for example Massachusetts, once a democratic stronghold, turned republican overnight. Democrats didn't bother to go to the polls and the same independents that voted for Obama and kept kennedy in office voted republican.
Our president has a lot of work to do to regain the confidence of the people, and I just pray it gets done before re-election comes up. Because if it doesn't I fear "PALIN 2012"...I'm just sayin!
