Ac...Thank you for your kind expression of sympathy. Actually I do not feel dejected and did not say that I was, but I appreciate your concern anyway. I also appreciate your comments; I am sure that you are not alone in feeling this way.<br /><br />You are right to say that Obama won the election. I am not all that sympathetic to the people who got tricked into voting for him and who now are showing buyer's remorse.<br /><br />Everyone has a right to make a mistake; even Obama voters.<br /><br />Public opinion is not static; it changes. And you might have noticed the recent Massachusetts Senate election, an election that was, among other things, a referendum on the health care bill. It seems clear that in one of the most liberal states in America the people spoke loud and clear. They did not want the bill.<br /><br />Public opinion has shifted over the past 15 or so months. Most Americans no longer believe that Obama merits re-election.The polls on health care are still against it.<br /><br />Be all that as it may, there is more to life than winning and losing. As I mentioned at some point in the past we need but evoke the example of one Pyrrhus who manifestly won whatever it was that he had to win, but whose name has gone down in history in the phrase: pyrrhic victory.Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-22641422609624906552010-04-03T08:01:25.598-07:002010-04-03T08:01:25.598-07:00If you feel Obama is disregarding your Republican ...If you feel Obama is disregarding your Republican feelings, then you are right of course.<br /><br />Your ideas ARE to be disregarded, as they do NOT reflect what the majority of voters in this country want. <br /><br />And if you have any questions about that, feel free to ask (and pay for) a recount of votes in the last presidential election. Maybe Obama actually lost and nobody knows that because there was a miscount!<br /><br />Or, it could just be that he did win, and you lost - and now you feel dejected.<br /><br />In that case, feel free to write posts like this to express your feelings. We understand your loss.Rogernoreply@blogger.com
