I wish some of these pundits and small time politicos would STFU regarding what Obama "better do"
Edited on Thu Nov-06-08 01:10 AM by redstate_democrat
John King was on CNN tonight saying Obama better not govern as a "liberal" and some small times politicians elected to the House have the nerve and audacity to tell a democratically elected President, with an overwhelming majority of the popular vote and electoral vote, how he must govern from the center.

Um, excuse me? The AMERICAN people knew exactly what they were getting when we elected Obama. After weeks and weeks of people calling Obama a socialist, people still voted for him. Obama is not a socialist and people knew this because people understood CLEARLY what Obama's economic and foreign policy plans are.

If people didn't want Obama to pull the U.S. out of Iraq, they wouldn't have voted for him
If people didn't want Obama to let the Bush tax cuts expire on the top 5%, they wouldn't have voted for him
If people didn't want Obama to give a middle class tax cut, they wouldn't have voted for him
If people didn't want Obama to invest in energy independence, they wouldn't have voted for him
If people didn't want Obama to reduce health care costs with his health care plan, they wouldn't have voted for him
If people didn't want Obama to invest in education, they wouldn't have voted for him
If people didn't want Obama to roll back the tax loopholes for corporations and stop giving corporations that send jobs overseas, undermining the American worker, they wouldn't have voted for him

For ONCE, the American people are thinking about themselves and their own personal interests, not Exxon, GE, or Goldman Sach's bottom lines. Americans want a fair shake in this deal and they voted accordingly.

So, any fucking pundit and/or Democrat who regularly runs against the equivalent of a sausage should just STFU because what we saw last night was a MANDATE for CHANGE. STFU or get rolled. A new kind of leader is coming to the White House and he will return it to The People.
