I was talking to a friend at work yesterday. He seems to be fairly conservative so this really surprised me. He says that when President Obama was first elected he did not support him, even now he does not agree with many of the President's positions, but he plans to support his bid for re-election. Anyone care to guess why my friend supports Obama now?
Turns out that he received a sizeable check from the government or from a government sponsored program that allowed him to get rid of a house he was underwater on. I stated that this was the problem with Democrats and Republicans, more with Democrats, is that instead of doing what is good for the country they are buying votes with other peoples money. My friend agreed, and then stated that "when someone gives you that much money, it buys alot of loyalty".
I almost vomited.
