I have seen a lot of stuff about people being disenchanted with President Obama. I am one of those. I have seen a steady move to the right. I have been watching this for some time now. I have the feeling if I had paid more attention during the 2008 elections I wouldn't have been surprised. The fact was ,I was so against Bush ,and the Republican party in general,that I 100% embraced Obama. I didn't bother to check out the warts.If I had perhaps I wouldn't be so disillusioned now.
I have heard calls for a third party. I have heard Ron Paul mutterings .I have heard the Alan Grayson ,stuff. I firmly believe none of the above will work. Grayson,Wiener,Sanders are all worthy candidates in my mind .A few others also come to mind.I will take a good hard look after 2012. I think you would be cutting off your nose to spite your face to dump Obama now.The way this horrible system is set up ,there is not enough time to build a proper war chest for a viable candidate. Ralph Nader still leaves a bitter taste..
I don't want to her about what a great leader Obama is. About all the difficulties he has has to endure.He knew that when he took the job,and so didn't I. He promised to close Gitmo....not done...Iraq is still a quagmire.The health bill has more holes than a sieve. Afghanistan is out of control.He has done some really good things. He also has played right into Republican hands , way too much.
When I vote for him in 2012 ,it will much like I voted for Kerry in 2004. Not enthusiastically. Unlike 2008 ,when I did.
