And The Award for Most Disappointing Person of 2009 Goes To…
…Barack Obama. We, as Republicans and conservatives, knew what was coming. But what about the millions of independent and moderate voters who were swept into the polls by Obama’s soaring rhetoric about renewed bipartisanship and a greater sense of personal responsibility?
When they voted for Barack Obama, the American people weren’t voting for a stimulus package piled full of pork barrel spending. They certainly weren’t voting for the federal government to attempt to take over nearly 20% of the economy in healthcare reform.
The past year has been tough for Republicans. With our huge deficits in the House and the Senate we are not in a position to govern. As we enter the election year, we have an opportunity to change our position in Washington. President Obama will not be on the ballot, but the election will be a referendum on his leadership (or lack thereof) and the disastrous legislation Congress has rammed down the throats of the American people.
Do you agree? Who do you think is the most disappointing person of 2009?

Yawn…as an NPA, I didn’t expect a republican to nominate anyone besides Obama. But, an equally qualified individual would be RPOF chair Jim Greer, who single handed has given the D’s a fighting chance in Florida in 2010

Democrats suck a** Says:
Didn’t expect a republican to elect anyone besides Obama??? You want Democrats to have a fighting chance in Florida??? How did these stupid democrats get in here? Im tired of people who’s political views are influenced by MTV, they just wanted to be progressive and vote for a black guy….morons.

Michael Jackson. If any other else had a year like you did in 2009 it would be career ending.
