I thought you said you did (both times). My apologies. Although many would say you are just as responsible for his sorry rear being elected by not voting against him.
So you are basing the fact he supposedly has degrees from Harvard and Columbia as 'proof' that he's not an idiot? But George Bush graduating from Yale IS an idiot? Right? So why is Sarah stupid, exactly?
Here's just some Obama 'brilliance' ....

No, and no. He's a socialist/communist bankrupting this country faster than all presidents before him combined. He may be president of my country, he is definitely not MY president.
If he's not your president, then you're not American. I don't have to be a fan of my boss for them to be my boss, but if I claim their not then either I'm lying or I quit (or I'm just whining because I don't like that they do have that position and don't really mean what I am saying). He won, he's every American's president until he leaves office.
Wow, this sounds like a bumper sticker.
Hey, you want to be a "citizen"? Well he's your president.
All the childish, emotional rantings in the world won't change it.
Just because you graduated from Harvard and Columbia law does not make you an effective leader or for that matter make you right. Leadership is something that this president is lacking and could learn from Palin. I believe she did a good job in AK and the facts bear that out. I don't think she was ready for the responsiblity of vice-president or president, we can debate that all day. The ones we can say ain't gettin it are the ones in power now. This turd we have now not so much in leading, he's more in the blaming profession.
Unfortunately that is what politics has become.
I doubt seriously in my lifetime that there will ever be somebody to VOTE FOR. They have now designed the system that you VOTE AGAINST something. And that isn't choice, it is fear. Manufactured fear.

Let me put it to you this way, he is the FIRST president, that if he got hit by a bus tomorrow, I would sadly, be thankful for this country. Harsh? It is, very. But that is the sad state of affairs we are in. He is literally destroying this country by bankrupting it and I'm not going to pretend he is worthy of the respect the office USED TO have (and that's even AFTER Clinton) just because he 'might' have been elected by the numb masses.If he's not your president, then you're not American. I don't have to be a fan of my boss for them to be my boss, but if I claim their not then either I'm lying or I quit (or I'm just whining because I don't like that they do have that position and don't really mean what I am saying). He won, he's every American's president until he leaves office.
Yeah, I know, he'll get over the fact he is seen for what he is (by too few Americans) on his next multi-million dollar vacation using borrowed foreign funds at taxpayer's expense.

I actually wrote in a candidate in 2008 so I could avoid that very thing. (Just for Hg though the write in for VP was still Palin
.) Even though I knew the national electoral college outcome was a foregone conclusion, no question in 2012 I voted against something in the one in a million chance Georgia didn't stay red.

I have to requote that statement for posterity. There is no question, I am not HIS kind of "American". So perhaps you are right.
