Such Voter Remorse

After a significant purchase, an automobile, a home, for example, the buyer often has doubts- could I have made a better deal, found a better product, spent my hard-earned money on better things. This phenomena is called buyer's regret. Many well-intentioned moderate voters cast their lot with Obama, as he was portrayed in the dinosaur media as a brilliant, post-racial, politically-centrist candidate when nothing could be farther from the truth. Obama had the most liberal voting record in the US Senate but this was glossed over in the main stream media. Obama had radical associations throughout his adult life that were ignored in the old-line press until Sean Hannity baited (forced) George Stephanopoulos to ask a single question of Obama on the matter. Obama was a twenty-plus year member of a church that was aggressive in anti-US rhetoric with Obama's pastor, mentor, and father figure, Jeremiah Wright, actually damning America from the pulpit. All the indications of the left-wing nature of Obama himself were not covered but covered-up by those expected to bring truth into the light of public scrutiny as they turned from journalists to press agents, uncritical of Obama, but hyper-critical of those who sought to expose his leftist leanings and history. Now, some of those who voted for Obama feel duped, that they never heard the actual nature of their choice and wish they had gone with the McCain ticket. They see America going from bad to worse under socialist stewardship and blame themselves as a sorrowful consequence of one ill-considered misstep in the voting booth made in the absence of information that the main stream media deliberately kept from them, one woeful decision that has forever altered the course of their (and our) lives. Only now, they realize it is too late to take their votes back.
