I'm gonna keep my reply short, as short as I can considering how much I am in total agreement with everything you've said.

Angry is a bit weak to describe how Obama has made me feel. It is unfortunate that change seems only to be a skin deep transition, and I am more ashamed now than ever for having fought for and donated to the presidency of a man who's rather large ears seem completely deaf to the demands of the very people who put him in office.

You are right; however, I knew Obama was no longer on our side the night he gave that speech and argued for mandatory health care. I was livid as soon as the words slipped from his smoke darkened lips. How do you make mandatory the very thing that, in its current form, needs to be severely overhauled/dismantled?

Health insurance isn't health care. I voted for health care. That's what I'd hoped for, but instead I'm told that I put the country at risk by not having insurance and that I have to buy insurance or face tax penalties. Thanks Big 'O'. As if the 20-30 year old demographic isn't being slaughtered enough financially with college debt, joblessness, and rising costs. Sure. Tack another bill on top. That should make it all better.

Guaranteed money doesn't fix a corrupt industry, so I can only assume, based on the president's actions, that he never really had any intentions of fixing the problem in the first place. I had high hopes, but logic and reasoning never let them get so high that I could possibly be shocked by anything this crazy country or Obama's White House would do. The affirmation of negative outcomes is a sordid boon indeed.

No offense to any woman offended by his words, but I recall an entire city being flooded because levees that could have been fixed/replaced/redesigned never were. Frankly, people are so caught being offended by the simplest crap that all the important issues get pushed right into the back seat.

Where is the outrage over layoffs? Mafia like bankers? The oil cartels? The wars?

Bipartisan outrage over what is mostly likely an accurate assessment of her behavior but not a god damned unified peep out of anyone over things that really matter?

I'm outraged at the stupid sh!t our elected officials spend their time being outraged over. The majority of them seem quite whorish to me, males and females.

whore
n.
1. A prostitute.
2. A person considered sexually promiscuous.
3. A person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain.

No doubt in my mind that definition three is the most applicable.
