2. I'm NOT disappointed -- I'm thrilled at what all Obama & the Democrats were able to
accomplish despite the Twilight Zone party of "NO" & the idiotic lies being fed to the public by Fixed News & other corporate shills.

I'm disappointed only in the fact that Vitter is my senator.

5. Me neither!
How often to you get a president (or any politician for that matter) that actually does what they say their going to do? He's been trying his best to do the things he campaigned on. That really means something to me. If the Repubs would've just gotten over their pouty attitude and work with him, this country would be in a much better place right now.

4. What the Hell?
My vote was not for Obama or the Congressional Democrats except for the one in my District.

I am not disappointed in ANYONE that I voted for, they are all fantastic progressives and that is why I voted for them.

6. Same goes for me. Was not a hard choice.
For a few offices where I didn't know the candidates, I just voted Dem.

16. Yeah, I'm SO disappointed.....
...just look at what President Obama and the Democratic Congress accomplished these last two years (with virtually no Republican support):

-Health Insurance Reform
-Financial Reform (New Wall Street Regulations)
-The Stimulus (which prevented Great Depression II)

I mean, it's SOOOO disappointing, I just don't know if I can bring myself to vote Democratic tomorrow...:dilemma:

I'll sleep on it and think about it again in the morning. :boring:
