yes I regret voting for Obama, however only partisan hacks think things would have been better if McCain/Palin had been elected.
So it is a mixed regret.
A) While I held my nose voting for McCain.. I knew that McCain would NOT sell our U.S. Troops down the river!
I mean how can ANYONE vote for a person that accused our military of methodically and systematically "air-raiding villages and killing civilians" as Obama did! McCain respected and has respect of the military because McCain knows the value of "peace through strength"!
B) I also know McCain would NEVER tear down Americans as Obama has!
There is absolutely NO need for the class warfare Obama is waging!
C) Again.. I never liked McCain's posturing for MSM blessings and I knew once the MSM had convinced GOPers McCain was the answer the MSM would turn and because of McCain's naivete regarding and the totally "chill up my leg" of the MSM for Obama America was in for a rough haul!
D) As far as the "economic crisis" McCain like most of us that understand economics that bad Congressional actions caused the meltdown.
When Fannie/Freddie was NOT regulated as exemplified by these comments:
* House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-MA) criticized the President's warning saying: "these two entities - Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - are not facing any kind of financial crisis ... The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing." (Stephen Labaton, "New Agency Proposed To Oversee Freddie Mac And Fannie Mae," New York Times, 9/11/03)
* Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Chairman Christopher Dodd also ignored the President's warnings and called on him to "immediately reconsider his ill-advised" position.
New York Times, 8/11/07)
collapse was unavoidable!
