To all of you diarists who like to point out the "accomplishments" of the Obama administration, this movie quote is for you..."I'm drowning here and you're describing the water."
I'm glad for you. You keep defending him because he certainly doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to defend himself.
It wasn't until I watched the person I campaigned for, the person that I saw speak twice in South Florida, the person I gave money to, the 10 senior citizens I drove to the voting booth on election day, including my 88 year old grandmother....capitulate...for the last time.....that I finally understood why under no circumstances, could I vote for Barack Obama in 2012.
Hell, after today, I even understand the anger from the other side. Not the celebration of ignorance the Tea Party represents, but the unfettered anger they have makes total sense to me tonight.
Congrats Nader voters.....I understand you now!!! It took 10 years, but I finally understand your 2000 vote tonight.
I'm not voting for the Capitulator-In-Chief in 2012.
There's no more defending this president to anyone because he doesn't defend himself.
I can't vote for someone who sits on their hands when punches are being thrown at them.
I can't vote for someone who walks softly (he barely talks; regurgitates rhetoric...so I used walks) and carries no stick.
Being a native Floridian, I never was able to get over the fact that 80,000 of my fellow Floridians voted for Nader over Gore and hand George W Bush the presidency, but, I get it now!
I don't care if Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck are running on the Republican ticket, I'm not wasting my vote on Barack Obama.
And please save the, "Yeah well then you hand the Presidency to the Republicans in 2012" talk because I don't want to hear it.
Not me...I didn't. Barack Obama is handing the 2012 election to the Republicans because he lost a supporter, a volunteer, and a donator like me tonight with his complete lack of a backbone.
