Ok, let’s add it up.
Health care.
The speech to Muslims.
The stimulus package.
The trip to New York City.
The response to protests in Iran.
The response to North Korea’s blustering.
Repairing roads.
The Supreme Court nominee.
The tobacco bill.
Capping executive pay.
The family dog.
Is that about it? Is that all that the Republican Party doesn’t like about President Obama and his policies? Maybe they can trot out Ann Coulter to rip on Michelle about wearing sleeveless dresses. Maybe they can pay Reverand Wright to start mouthing off again.
As they say in court, when the facts are not on your side, cite the law. When the law is not on your side, start screaming. And that appears to be all that Republicans have left. A shrinking party that has taken refuge in talk radio, a party that has been thrashed consistently at the polls, a party that can do nothing but criticize a new president in his first year with large support of the American people is left to whine and moan. There are no solutions from Republicans; only criticism.
It has painted itself into an embittered, mean-spirited party of white men who wait only for the next opportunity to criticize. And it wonders why it can no longer win elections.
The 2012 Presidential Election is fast approaching
The GOP race is now a field of 4 with only Romney, Gingrich, Paul, & Santorum still standing. Who will be the next candidate to exit the race & who will emerge as the eminent GOP nominee?

Believe me, I am not with the Republican Party, but here are my reasons for not supporting Obama:
The stimulus bill (not to be taken lightly as it is huge)
Pretending to cap executive pay, but not really doing it
Not closing Guantanamo Bay
Pretending to be against “Don’t ask Don’t Tell” then going back on his word
Not taking troops out of Iraq (as promised)
Sending more troops to Afghanistan (as promised)
Supporting the massive domestic spying program
I really could care less about the family dog, though.
