If you voted for Obama even after losing faith in him then you are just another partisan hack whose opinion means very little. Your alligence is to your party and not your country. You might as well be a communist. Originally Posted by JD BarleycornJD, when did I say I lost faith in Obama? You are adding words that I clearly did not say. What I did state was that supporting Obama over Hillary in '08 was a mistake and that in hindsight I felt Hillary would have been a better President during the past 4 years than Obama.
I certainly did not say that I felt JMac would have been a better choice than Obama, as you implied. In fact, JMac was never mentioned in my statement, only the choice between Hillary and Obama. As far as I was concerned, JMac was not even on my radar screen. It was going to be one or the other. With the one at the time being Obama and the other being Hillary.
In the spring of 2008, no one other than Obama and Hillary factored in to my decision making process. During the post Iowa/NH 2008 Dem Primary season, I considered Obama and Hillary to be 1A and 1B. In that order. If I had it to do over again, it would be Hillary at 1A and Obama 1B. If you can't differentiate between the two, that is your problem, not mine!
To put it in even more simple terms: From my perspective at the time, during the lead up to the November election day 2008, Obama/Biden was clearly 1A and JMac/Palin would have been somewhere in the neighborhood of 99Z, + or - 1.
But who's counting? Right?
