Dont blame me I voted for McCain. Not that i think anyone could solve this mess in 30 days. But I would have thought with a majority in congress he could have done something besides spend us into debt, crash the market, keep the bailout cash rolling, put a tax cheat in charge of the IRS, fill a cabinet positions quickly, and give me a tax cut bigger than $8 a week.

Why be surprised? Spend as always been the policy of the Democrats. "The bigger the government the better." That's what they say.

I did not vote for Obama, in fact, I did not vote. My wife was angry at me for it, but I told her that it did not matter either way. I did not believe in anything either candidate was saying and in fact, its hard for me to believe anything a politician says.

I voted for McCain because he (in my opinion) was the lesser of two evils. Your are right about most politicians. Their honesty can be questioned and we all know it. Makes you wonder why we keep electing the same ones over and over.

My only regret is that none of the third parties stepped up to the plate and offered me a real alternative to the two candidates the press, the idiots that run the DNC and RNC and voter fraud forced upon us.
McCain was the best of the bunch, but all that means is the bunch was pretty rotten all the way around.

Those were my thoughts exactly. I thoroughly studied EVERY third party candidate even going down to the complete unknowns like Gloria La Riva hoping to find someone who I could fully and truly believe in and agree with completely. I came up empty. McCain was the best of what was left in my opinion.

I keep hoping the Libertarians will start running a stronger campaign and candidate, but so far they haven't.

Less than two months into any presidency is just too soon to question any vote. I'm satisfied that he is trying and that's all I would say about any presidency this young.
We are in a lot of financial trouble. I believe it is way, way more dire than anybody is letting on and I'm keeping a close watch on these big investment banks. I know that if they start going down, they will take the savings of America with them and I know that the FDIC does not have them covered because it's reserves were never predicated on covering more than what was in small, safe retail banks.
It seems to me that Obama is doing everything he can. But Geore Bush also did everything he could in the waning days of his presidency. Bush did not get any immediate credit and Obama will not get any either. Only time can vindicate their efforts and I'm not about to rush to judgement.
I don't question my vote vote for Obama and I never will. I voted for what I thought was the best candidate and that is all any of us can do.

How many tax criminals do you need in his cabinet before you see that he welcomes criminals in his cabinet?
I understand a wait and see attitude for things that he has yet to do, but he HAS done things now, that logic doesn't work.

Waiting to see how things will turn out is fine. But do you ever read the stimulus bill or the budget plans Obama has and ask how will this help? Has anyone explained or proven to your satisfaction how these plans will work?

I'm satisfied with my vote because it wasn't for Obama. After studying all the candidates he rated very low on my list. I rated him just above Cynthia McKinney and he was barely edged out by Chuck Baldwin. McCain was the best of what was there, but he wasn't even my first choice in the republican primaries.

I grew up a staunch democrat. Unfortunately, due to the way the party was headed and what it stood for, I became a Conservative. Many conservatives today are saying that they are not what you would call Republican, yet, deep down inside, they know they are. I am satisfied with the way that I voted in this election. Yet, I still felt that John McCain still does a better job in the Senate. We needed good Republicans to counter the flood of Democrats that won in this last election.
President Obama is taking on so much so quickly, that I think it is hard to know which way to turn. No one should be ashamed of the way they voted as it is an inalienable right to do so according to the U.S. Constitution.

It's too soon to be ashamed, but not too soon to question your vote.
