Yet another deeply disappointed Obama supporter

Mort Zuckerman in a piece titled He's Done Everything Wrong:

Obama punted on the economy and reversed the fortunes of the Democrats in 365 days.

He’s misjudged the character of the country in his whole approach. There’s the saying, “It’s the economy, stupid.” He didn’t get it. He was determined somehow or other to adopt a whole new agenda. He didn’t address the main issue.

This health-care plan is going to be a fiscal disaster for the country. Most of the country wanted to deal with costs, not expansion of coverage. This is going to raise costs dramatically.

In the campaign, he said he would change politics as usual. He did change them. It’s now worse than it was. I’ve now seen the kind of buying off of politicians that I’ve never seen before. It’s politically corrupt and it’s starting at the top. It’s revolting.

Five states got deals on health care—one of them was Harry Reid’s. It is disgusting, just disgusting. I’ve never seen anything like it. The unions just got them to drop the tax on Cadillac plans in the health-care bill. It was pure union politics. They just went along with it. It’s a bizarre form of political corruption. It’s bribery. I suppose they could say, that’s the system. He was supposed to change it or try to change it.

Even that is not the worst part. He could have said, “I know. I promised these things, but let me try to do them one at a time.” You want to deal with health care? Fine. Issue No. 1 with health care was the cost. You know I think it was 37 percent or 33 who were worried about coverage. Fine, I wrote an editorial to this effect. Focus on cost-containment first. But he’s trying to boil the ocean, trying to do too much. This is not leadership.

You need to read the rest.

Worst. President. Ever.

A walking, talking argument against affirmative action.

The sad part of this is that there were many who saw through the charade during the primaries... sounded the alarm that he was not what he presented...

... we were shouted down as idiots.

But it is gratifying that it has only taken one year for the very thin veneer to wear off so the real product can be seen.

Take a deep breath America... it is going to get ugly... within the lefts own ranks.

Gosh, I'm not a real estate billionaire. I've $200 in my savings account right now. But I could have told Old Mort that this guy is a disaster waaaay back in 2008. Limousine liberals make me sick. They go on National TV and rail at the monster that they financed. The rest of us who got screwed by your fantasy vote have to travel on our own dime and stand outside the white house like beggars to protest with our home made signs and we get ridiculed and insulted. You see, it's the middle class that gets ruined by these totalitarians. The rich can take off in their planes and yachts,or buy themselves a position in the new regime and the poor have nothing to lose (except their freedom).
Dearest Mort, hope you dont cry too much heading back to New York in your fancy mode of transportation. Have an extra drink on us.Send us a post card from Switzerland after the revolution.
