Quote:I honestly doubt you voted for Obama in 2008...  How could you vote for him after the whole Rev. Wright thing?  If you voted for Obama after that, then you were an uniformed voter.  No offense, of course.

 

On top of that, Obama ran on socializing Healthcare, which was a huge topic in 2008.  He took single payer off the table and conceded to a much more conservative health care reform policy.  

 

You probably were not paying any attention to the campaign of 2008.  I appreciate that you admit it.

 

So the question is this:  What made you vote for Obama in the first place???

I honest to God did vote for him in '08. I didn't have a TV back then and worked a lot so was not 100% informed of his history and such. Also, I 200% did not want Sarah Palin in the White House with John McCain seemingly thisclose to a heart attack, so it was voting for the lesser of two evils. I do remember that he was different from what we'd had in office for the past 8 years and that to me was a positive. 

 

I liked his message of Yes We Can and he was a very charismatic speaker and I was duped.

 

I can say that I have learned a great deal from my mistake of not being an informed voter and will not make the mistake again. Sadly, it almost doesn't mean anything these days as all politicians are corrupt and I don't trust ANY of them. 

 

I can admit to and learn from my mistakes.
