Bug frog, we were all sure Bush was going to lose to back in 2004. You remember that? Bush's ratings were in the 30s. Every major news network hinted that he was a 1 term president. Everyone on here said there was no chance in hell he would get a second term. And yet there he was a clear winner.
Believe me, right now Romney scares the hell out of me. And I've fallen in love with Obama. But there are just too many disinfo out there that people believe in. We're doomed
I don't get it. A large amount of Democrats ended up feeling let down and duped by Obama, stating that he's essentially Bush the Sequel.
Four years ago you loathed the man. Why the change?

That's because a large amount of democrats expected miracles.
Miracles, or just owning up to the campaign promises? Don't write checks your butt can't cash, as they say.

But that's not why they're pissed. He's a Nobel Peace Prize recipient and is every bit the warlord GWB was.
I watch a lot of news, speeches, etc. I pay attention to people's words when they talk. You can say I've fallen in love with Obama. I see a lot of genuineness in him.
That's odd, because for the exact same reasons, I see him as nothing more than a sycophant who is ONLY in his position on account of his orations.
On the other hand, I am convinced Romney is a functional sociopath.
Well, no argument from me that Romney is a huge doucher, but Romney and Obama are essentially the same people from a political point of view.
I just don't understand what happened. If I recall, I remember you not caring very much for him citing that you both were from Illinois and knew he was shady, for lack of a better term.
