I'm listening to axelrod on mtp and all I can think is
"you lie". Wow Obama has lost me on a gut level and my faith is gone. I didn't realize it until I noticed my instinctual reaction to hearing all these promises.

I feel so lost now.

5. I wanted Axelrod to read the sections of the bill that would do what he claims.
Talk from an uberspinmeister is unbelievably cheap.

He seemed very irritated that folks like me just don't buy what he says anymore.

7. I had that reaction when Obama said he wasn't protecting "fat cats."
I wasn't trying to feel that way, but that was my gut reaction. I am so pissed that he's made me feel this way.

9. Isn't it the worst feeling ever?
I hate it. I need to believe this all means something.

10. It's right up there. Glad to find a kindred spirit.
Did you cry on election night? I bawled like a baby, I was so happy. And I rarely ever cry.

I never dreamed I would feel this way just one year later. I never ever thought this admin would make me seriously consider leaving the party I've volunteered for in every presidential campaign since Clinton '92. I was in agony throughout the Dark Years. I really had hoped Obama would set us on a new course. Then came the Inauguration and the selection of Rick Warren, not an aberration, but a sign of things to come.

11. I cried my eyes out
I grew up in the civil rights movement with parents who were activists. I've never voted for anyone but a Democrat and the election of President Obama seemed to be the culmination of an epic struggle that had affected my whole life. Now? Meaningless, utterly meaningless.

13. Yes I did cry. I was so proud of our country and I believed
We could finally get things done. But now I realize our political system is broken.

16. "Fat cats" was when I knew we were being punk'd.
I've had doubts and suspicions since the beginning of Obamamania, but I bought in after he won the nomination. Every day, he has revealed his true goals. He lies in his speeches and interviews. His people lie in their speeches and interviews.

They are bought and paid for and doing the bidding of the banksters, the health insurance industry, and the military industrial complex.

15. I felt exactly the same way, dkf.
When Axelrod said something about the POTUS promising to do something about prescription drug prices I immediately assumed it was a lie. They've lost my trust and that's a hard thing to get back.
