Do Conservatives feel exonerated over the massive failure on every level of Barack Obama?

Question

In November 2008 the entire nation was caught up in the Obama exhilaration of a "New Day" was upon us. That Sen. Barack Obama was going to save the world. He was fresh, new, exciting and gave a great speech. A large portion of our population felt he could do no wrong and was the darling of the media.

Today-

The excitement is gone, the crowds have died off and even his most loyal supporters are openly questioning his competency to lead.

The Economy-

Is clearly worse than when he took office and his promises of lower unemployment by following his prescription has failed directly into his face.

The question-

Do you conservatives now feel exonerated because you were right all along about President Obama?

Answer 1

I wouldn't use the word exonerated....just really hoppin mad!!

Answer 2

No, I am saddened that so many people deluded themselves into voting for Obama. The failures of Obama are failures for the entire nation. The "successes" of Obama are just as bad.



Of course, I look at success and failure based on outcome. While Obama has "succeeded" in passing liberal policies and legislation, their outcomes are negatives for the country, thus they are failures.



His knee-jerk partisanship has also had a divisive effect on the country.

Answer 3

I feel bad that so many things have to be wrong with our nation. The blame sword cuts both ways. I feel the democrats mean well and good, but some things have already been proven to NOT work, yet they repeat them.



We need checks and balances, and this election will bring that. We still may go down, not nation lasts forever. will have to see if the dollar collapses, that's the single binding force for everyone.

.

Answer 4

No, the excitement isn't gone.



But, like a babies cry, you can't hear anything else.



Our country was going into a 2nd depression and acknowledging who was truly responsible, there are certain ppl that think that they can make others believe (because they were afraid not to see the truth when they were told the economy was bad: u no Republicans are afraid of the rich & powerful) as they were TOLD to believe.



Similar to the jim crow laws, even though some didn't like the idiot-ness of them, they were afraid to go against the rich & powerful.



Babies need to be cared for and tended to, thou I think all of us can agree that all of this crying and whining after what THEIR legislators have done to us, can only be taken as they truly have no clue. They are afraid their parents won't feed them. Sometimes you have to ignore a child that just cries for attention or for the wrong reason.



Remember, they are trying to wear us out, let's not let them get their way.

Answer 5

No we feel the hardship same as everyone else his failure is our failure and no true american wants this country to fail... Being right does not make it better for those that are in need. Hard work and changing the direction we are going is what is required... Whether you voted for him or not now is not the time to criticize but to lend a helping hand if asked it is our country not The Democrats or the republicans ...

Answer 6

In their delusional minds, they probably do and are enjoying the way Obama is ripped apart on a daily basis by the Republicans, who refuse to acknowledge that he has accomplished anything.



To real Americans, who have no blind folds, no. Everything he has done has improved this country tremendously.



I'm done trying to make Republicans see just how wrong they are. They prefer to live within their anger, hate and bigotry and spitefulness, which in the end will destroy them.



The Republicans refused to vote to ban the DADT policy, out of their complete ignorance and hatred and by doing so, also didn't pass any military improvements to help our troops. Who do they think they're hurting, besides themselves? Do they really think Americans don't see their tricks and games? The same ones they've been playing for 2 years now?



And they think they're going to win anything in November. Americans have been polled and are sick to death of the partisan Congress, knocking down EVERYTHING Obama is trying to do to fix the catastrophe Bush left him. Republicans are like the blind leading the blind.

Answer 7

remark: you'll have an interest in how i began one Sunday college classification in February 2009 by utilising sharing a telephone call I had made 3 days before. "hi, that's the Columbia place of work of Senator Claire McCaskill. How am i able to help you?" "preserving busy?" (Laughter) "Oh, sure. a large number of calls." "properly, i keen to call the place of work and share my point of view on the Stimulus equipment." "Oh! ok, what's your point of view?" "My point of view is that the Stimulus equipment will do very almost no longer some thing to stimulate the commercial gadget, that is going to reason many issues and, if we had a wise Senate, it would want to %. up the bill, throw it out the window and merely enable issues take position certainly." (silence for 5 seconds) "Oh. Zipcode?" "65201" "you stay in Columbia (Missouri) ?!" (suggested with marvel because the final public there supported Obama) "sure, I do." "Uh, thanks for your call."

Answer 8

I wouldn't say that. It will take 50 years to undo the damage that mr. obama has done. He is going to be gone, the democrats will be irrelevant, but its all about the power mr. obama has usurped from the people.

Answer 9

Not exonerated and "I Told You So" does not fix the debt and joblessness Obama created.



Relieved and encouraged that America is waking up and feeling the pain Obama's "change" has wrought.

Answer 10

its like when you see a baby playing with a loaded gun, you know nothing good will come from it, I stopped being fooled by Politicians long ago and it really made me mad to think so many people were fooled by Obama. He is no super human he is just a man who never had a normal upbringing or a real job

Answer 11

I don't have any reason to feel exonerated because I never believed it was the fault of Conservatives in the first place.



I think with my brain.

Answer 12

No my wallet has been hurt.



However there is a certain value of being able to laugh at the sheep who bought into his empty promises.

Answer 13

Yes, and it has helped the GOP dump the Democrats within it's rolls.

Answer 14

Bush handed Obama a country in crisis. Obama is doing a good job fixing Bush's fiascos, in spite of republicant obstructionism.



Your fear, hate and misinformation identifies your political party affiliation.

Answer 15

Yes, I see a couple of die hard Messiah followers chimed in before me.

Answer 16

How sad that you can only feel like a success by setting the bar so low (in your minds).

Answer 17

He did a lot of things for America, check out this link, and you'll see what he has done so far.

Answer 18

The failure is your ability to look past your hatred and see the truth. There are no absolutes. President Obama has done some things you do not like but to call him a failure is foolish rhetoric. Anybody that says he has done everything right is being just as foolish.

Answer 19

"The Economy-



Is clearly worse than when he took office and his promises of lower unemployment by following his prescription has failed directly into his face."



This is complete BS:



Glenn Beck: "Whoever gets the nod in November [2008] is going to inherit a financial disaster of historic proportions."



Bush left office with NEGATIVE 6.4% GDP growth.

Under Obama, GDP growth has been POSITIVE for the past year.



Compared to other countries, the U.S. recession was milder and the recovery faster.
