Where Are All The Obama-ites Now?

A column in the Washington Post this week lamented about where are all those Obama supporters who showed up at campaign rallies with signs saying "change" and chanting "yes we can"? Well, some of them are wising up to what Obama really represents.
The vast majority of these Obama-ites didn't know what the word "change" would actually involve; it just seemed like fun to wave one word signs and chant at rallies with all your buddies, and Bush-bashing was a cool thing to do particularly if you:
were on a college campus (and had leftist professors filling your head with socialist ideas) or
were a minority of any kind (and could get a minority elected it didn't matter what he really represented) or
were already dependent on governemnt for your living (and believed that the bigger Obama government would give you even more of other people's money) or
were a union member (and had the promise of a "card-check" voting system to pressure non-union members to join a union)
They didn't know why they were screaming "yes we can".
"Can" what?
"Change" to what?
Most didn't have a clue as to what socialism would actually mean to their lives!
It just seemed "cool" to fawn over the American Idol-like candidate because he was so young, so handsome, so articulate (at reading speeches off teleprompters) and he was a master at talking a lot and saying little.
The Obama-ites had no clue about huge deficit spending by Obama because Obama promised otherwise; to cut the Bush deficits. Inflation was an abstract concept or maybe not something they could even define.
They had no clue about a future $787 billion Stimulus Bill which Obama would say was "critical" to cap unemployment at 8%, but failed as unemployment rose to 9.5% and only about 10% of that "critical" money would be spent after 7 months.
They had no clue about taxpayer money being used for a $60 billion bailout and takeover of GM, or continuing bailouts up to $170 billion for AIG and hundreds of billions for various banks. Who is eventually going to pay for these bailouts? The clueless Obama-ites through taxes or inflation!
They were generally all bubbly and self-righteous about saving the environment but had no clue that Obama's "Cap and Trade" plan that would cost American manufacturing jobs and raise the price on just about everything due to huge increases in energy costs, while cronies like Al Gore get rich by betting on carbon credit trading. The clueless unions, poor and middle class will be hit he hardest by Cap and Trade. could any Obama-ites explain "Cap and Trade". Very few!
They had no clue that the vague campaign promise of covering all Americans with health insurance would include covering 9 million non-American illegal aliens and covering those 21 million that could afford insurance but just wanted to gamble and not buy it or that ObamaCare would involve rationing of their own health care through a total government takeover of the health care system with even more trillions in deficit spending. The tens of millions of Obama-ites with health insurance will all see their health care go down.
They had no clue that Obama was lying about closing GITMO; that he had no plan on how to do it. Whose town in the U.S. will the new GITMO be located?
They had no clue that at this time last year, when they were chanting "change", that under Bush the U.S. was winning two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq while now under Obama we are losing ground in both wars with the same total number of U.S. troops and contractors.
They really thought, or just chose to ignore, that Obama's lack of experience, total lack of accomplishments and inner circle of criminals, tax cheats, socialists and bigots would not matter when he was in office.
Except these sleazy associates shaped his thinking and he even appointed many to high office.
But, never fear, Obama forces are mobilizing and giving instructions to SEIU, ACORN and AFL-CIO members for "spontaneous" counter protests at town hall meetings about health care.
Now let's all chant: "change you can believe in".
