GOPMOM Note: Obama regret running rampant
Presidential campaign – $750 million
Driving economy into depression and destroying freedom – $4 trillion
Seeing photos of apologetic and regretful Obama voters – Priceless!
Thank you, Doug Powers, for providing this valuable service.
They’re even getting squeamish at the NYT. Read David Brooks’ confession.
Apparently the Tea Parties and the phone calls and the faxes are having an effect. There’s a revolt starting in the House of Reps.
I suppose it would be funny if it all wasn’t really happening. This will seem contrary to everything I say, but this truly is not a partisan issue. This is an issue effecting everyone, everyday. We cannot allow this “remaking” of America to continue. We simply cannot afford it – financially, socially or morally. Our role in the world is too important. Our leadership, our support of freedom, our symbolism in this world are all worth preserving.

Review this site
Is it just me or do both the photos on that site look fake?
The first one (guy with cigarette) has some weird block of lightness going on on the top half of his sheet of paper
The second one is more clearly doctored – the top and bottom “Dear World” and “Love, Charles and Keyla” are in handwriting, while the middle is in computer-generated text that’s supposed to look like handwriting (and the color of the paper is slightly lighter in that section).
It makes me wonder if these are photos taken from the website apologizing to the world for voting for Bush in 2004 and doctored for this purpose…
HAHAHA indeed they are, taken from the front page of SorryEverybody

Pretty pathetic, nice try though!
Thanks for playing ATG.
Taking from Michelle Malkin explaining the SPOOF site.
Can’t round up any real buyers’ remorse?
Um, ATG, can you read at all?
David Brooks? 50 members of Dem Caucus?
Sorry to disappoint but the regret is real and the spoof was way too funny not to include.
We still win.
Define win… you seem to be on the short end of the stick these days
Brooks is indeed uncomfortable with Obama’s sweeping liberal agenda. On the other hand:
“Moderates now find themselves betwixt and between. On the left, there is a president who appears to be, as Crook says, “a conviction politician, a bold progressive liberal.” On the right, there are the Rush Limbaugh brigades. The only thing more scary than Obama’s experiment is the thought that it might fail and the political power will swing over to a Republican Party that is currently unfit to wield it.”
Doesn’t sound like a winner to me…
I win, you lose. As in a competition, taking score, etc…
The spoof photo site was evident from the beginning – no points for you for unnecessarily pointing that out.
Brooks’ article is genuine, well, as genuine as you can get from a Liberal – no points for not recognizing the real thing.
You completely disregarded the fact about Dems in Congress – again, no points.
This is all a competition, isn’t it? I point out something, you attempt to refute it in your Liberal, deranged, unhinged way, I repeatedly make my point, which you fail to grasp, and you do lots of deflection and then we move on to the next issue. It’s ok, I know you think you win.
That bumper sticker would be an instant sensation! I suppose you would have to change the logo a little–kinda like how O changed the Presidential Seal–but the message would prevail. Hilarious (to those of us who have managed to hold on to their sense of humor while filling out multiple employment applications)!
‘Mom,
Has any of us REALLY won over the last couple of months? I’ve seen wasteful spending, and rampant debt increase reach new levels that I know my little one won’t be done paying off when she retires. Then they try to stick it to a small portion of the population already shouldering a huge burden, and increase their taxes. Next, we see rises in gas tax (hits everyone — so much for lowering taxes for most working folks) and other taxes. So not only do many Americans have it bad, but the administration seeks to make it worse, not only short-term, but long-term as well.
Nah, we’ve all lost over the past couple of months. Hopefully, we’ll see some CHANGE, because I have no HOPE!
Well, we were just referring to the verbal sparring. But I would say there is a slight bit of satisfaction knowing all these people will wake up one day and realize that W was not the worst President ever and that voting based on revenge is never acceptable.
Elections have consequences.
I have to say today was a down day for me too – I actually broke down crying on my way to school when I heard about Chas Freeman. I thought of the exchange student I just sent home to Korea and what our President’s complete disregard for our international obligations means for her family. I though of our Jewish friends that have family in Israel and what this means for them. I thought about my distant cousins in the Czech Republic and how beautiful Poland is and how much I want to take my daughter there one day. And I am angry that we are standing on the playground laughing and chatting while our world falls to pieces and no one is paying attention. Between Geithner, the mega-hypocrite, Sebelius, the grim reaper and Freeman, the mortal enemy of freedom, I had to talked of yet another ledge.
Thankfully, I spent the afternoon in the sun watching my and my friends’ children enjoy their last ski Wednesday of the season. I returned to find dozens of emails asking to sign up for or volunteer to organize the Boston Tea Party on April 15th – I’m hoping you will attend.
Anyway, what has occurred to me over the past few abominable days, with their dark economic news and even darker portents of the Obama social agenda, is that us conservatives will come out of all of this just fine. Why? Because we understand what is of true value. Do I want the economy to tank – no, not for me, not for the country, not for the world. Do I want my husband’s business to fail? Do I want to lose my car, my house? (Forget IRAs and college funds – almost all gone anyway.) Do I want to keep lowering my standard of living, sacrifice, suffer? Of course not.
Do I know that I am lucky? Yes. Do I know that losing or giving up or going without the material objects I have come to possess would be difficult and unpleasant? Yes. But I have a great husband, a fantastic daughter and two great dogs – and a cat but the novelty has definitely worn off. I have a large extended family that I love and I know that we would all sacrifice to help each other out. If things get really bad, that is where I will go to weather the storm.
Obama and his left-wing regime can take away all the money, resources and freedoms they want – I’ll still have more than the bitterest of liberals – even if it is just a memory of how it used to be. (Plus, I know how to grow food, catch fish and start a fire). It’s the anger and bitterness that kills you from the inside out. I know that I’ve been right all along – that Obama is basically a power monger fronting for the most evil of forces in our world – freedom haters. The irony is that these liberals and their minions, many who still believe the age of Obama is ushering in some sort of equality utopia, will be the ones the most miserable when all is said and done. They will never be satisfied whether they get what they want or not because someone will always have more. They will always feel cheated and exploited because they do not know the value of making your own way, earning your own keep. They are takers and takers are never as content as givers – even if it’s your last dime. If you don’t have the perspective that someone is always worse off than you and it is your responsibility to help, if your view is “someone is always better off than me and they don’t deserve it” you will never be satisfied, never be happy.
So, if all of us end up living at my uncle’s farm, growing and raising our own food, home schooling our kids and chopping wood for heat, I am confident we will still be better off because we have what money cannot buy and no President, not even Obama, can deliver. You know what I’m talking about, Elf. And that is what you will pass on to your daughter – no inheritance of wealth can touch an inheritance of values and perspective.
