Not that I ever spent money on donations for obama, or voted for him in the primary (i didn't vote) but i have some what been rooting for him, but it's not like my "support" mattered.
However, i have lost that good warm feeling about him.
First, actually a while ago, in fact it was right before the Penn primaries, Obama gave a speech in which he was basically attacking hillary, and he was stuttering and shit. He sounded awful. For me he lost that aura around him, that made him special and about change, cause it was the same boring "my opponent sucks" thing.
Second, even last year, i remember thinking, i hope he drops out and holds out for 2012 or 2016, because he has less then one senate term to run off of. His "record" includes many a vote for "present" (neither yes or no), and well just the fact that he has been in politics since what? 1998?
Third, the right wing attack machine has done a pretty good number on him... and more importantly, taken the pressure off of hillary. We have gone about 3 months without a rant or attack on hillary, as if she were almost shielded by obama. (not counting that RFK thing assassination slip.) Not to mention his church screwed obama over big time.... not that it bothered me, it may make a difference in november.
Well who knows, if she wins the last two primaries by a wide margin, and gets some more super delegates it might be hers for the taking.
