i voted for obama because I'm sick of republicans always getting their way. even when the democrats took over the house and senate, they were still too weak in a majority to get anything REAL pushed through and when they did it was vetoed by the president. also, im sick of the neoconservative/conservative policies that have been in place. two terrible wars, an economy in the shitter, and a citizenry that is pissed off. if so many of the american people have realized that the republican policies of the last 8 years havnt been working, wouldnt it be logical to try the opposite?
