Is this the change Obama wanted- more Conservatives?

Since Obama took office, people in the US have become more Conservative and less Liberal.

    I think that he really thought that people would just swallow everything. He promised a lot of bipartisanship, and there are a lot of people that straddle the Dem/Rep lines, as well as Independents. There was a lot he promised during his campaign and didn't follow through with. He got a lot of people out to the polls and some of them voted because of his color, because he was younger than McCain, because they wanted to be part of history and vote for the first black president, but he didn't take in to account that a lot of people who vote really only want to be part of voting and don't take part in the day to day goings on of the government. A lot of those people are young and it was fun to vote and think they were getting free stuff, but really don't want to be bothered with the stuff now. A lot of people who believed him, now realize that he wasn't telling the complete truth and it's going to cost them.

    This kinds of scares me~because I always was a Democrat and this

    last election I voted for John McCain and Sarah Palin

    Even though I did not like George W. Bush Jr or his dad~~I was a

    Democrat~~

    There is a lot of people who are disgusted with the current Democrat

    congress and Barack Obama~~

    There is no place to go but a third party or the Republican party~~

    I don't thing people would go further left the Obama ?

    This man ran as a moderate, lying to all that he wanted to govern from the center, he is all the way left, and our country, bless it's heart, is not. So they are going to fight him ALL the way...what he has essentially done is sunk the dems chance at being in charge for more than four years.

    tee hee hee

    That is why he is trying to get em young!

    Another epic fail tough, there is a huge conservative youth movement.

    Kids are young, not stupid, even they understand they would one day be paying for his massive spending. Only a total rube wants to get their paycheck raped down to beans.
