Decades ago when I was a young lad in school, all the boys always had a fascination for the “new girl in school”. Who knows why, perhaps she was just something different.
In 2008 Barack Obama ran on a big government, huge social program, and immense spending platform. Some 69,500,000 people or almost 53% of those who voted, voted for Mr. Obama for president.
Today, according to the liberal Los Angeles Times:
Currently, 90% of Americans are worried to some degree about the exploding federal spending deficit, a galactic number certain to gain politicians' attention on both sides.
I know Mr. Obama was different, charismatic and promising change. But, what did everyone think he was going to do?
Buyer’s remorse is when you buy something, perhaps on the spur of the moment or to wanting to have the latest, and then realizing that you overpaid or the item was not what you expected.
Although Mr. Obama’s popularity is down, it is still pretty high, so I suspect buyer’s remorse has not set in – yet.
But, now that the new girl in school has been in class for a couple of months I think many of the “boys” realize she is not really all that different from all the other girls.
