When Obama was campaigning and right after he was elected, some people seriously thought that they would be set for life. People actually thought they would get free phones, free cars, free houses, free healthcare...the list goes on and on.

Yeah maybe 001%, that's far less than the imbeciles who think the earth is only 6,000 years old or that Fossils were planted by their god to test their faith

Now that we are a couple years into his presidency, it should be clear to anyone with an IQ that those things will never happen. Nothing is free. Our own hard work is the only thing that will fulfill our needs. Not another person, not the government, just us.

I'm really not saying this as an insult at Obama or democrats. I'm saying that America has learned a tough lesson.

umad bro? I voted for Obama and it was my first experience voting. Since then I've come to realize the regardless of who is president, they all work for the same people and no that is not the american public.

Come on, WHO thought that?

Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Frank Raines, Jamie Gorelick, the rest of the corrupt people at the top of the housing scandal that came out with tens of millions of government bailout dollars, all of Obama's czars making $200k+, all of the democrat government officials granted amnesty for tax evasion, etc etc etc.

You know us liberals expected to never work again and force conservatives into gayafication camps. You know we really planned on having all of our senior citizens live or die based on a panel of DMV employees (union workers) picked based on seniority. You know we planned on appeasing osama bin llama by giving him Georgia. Come on man. I couldnt of been the only liberal to think such things?!?!?!

Hey man! That's supposed to be a secret.

Really though. Don't you just love to have your ideals defined by the clueless. It's a classic tatic of the right. I expect nothing less.

It is good that you admit to your disillusion.
