You voted for him, now he needs your support. Isn&#8217;t that how it is supposed to work? If you don&#8217;t like his issues, then you vote for someone else you can support. <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: arial; color: black; font-size: 9pt\">I don&#8217;t like the man personally, I think he was all blunderbuss and no fire, and I think for the most part he has let you down, but while he is still in office, you folks need to support him. You guys hired him for the job. <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: arial; color: black; font-size: 9pt\">&#160;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: arial; color: black\"><span style=\"font-size: 7.5pt\">From <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">Oso<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 7.5pt\"> on <\/span><span style=\"font-style: italic; font-size: 7.5pt\">February 12, 2010 at 11:47 pm<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 7.5pt\">.&#160; <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: arial; color: black; font-size: 9pt\">&#160;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: arial; color: black; font-size: 9pt\">Supporting Obama means supporting Wall Street&#8217;s financial policy,UHC&#8217;s health care policy and George Bush&#8217;s foreign policy.
