How can someone who claims to be "big on the Constitution" be happy they voted for Obama?
He fully supported the DC and Chicago gun bans before they became an inconvenience in the campaign. And if you know labor unions have been out of control for decades, why are you happy about voting for a guy who is doing everything in his power to give them even more power? Lastly, I don't know how anyone could have listened to that POS Jeremiah Wright (knowing Obama worshiped him for 20 years) and swallow the "I never heard those things" line of BS. And I don't know how any theologian especially would think that church was about religion and not hating and blaming whites. Richard is right; 99% of those who come to these boards claiming to be either independents or moderates are flaming liberals.
