    As someone who was burdened by buyers remorse over voting for Obama said recently: Why work for a living when you can vote for one? Obama’s bailed my bank out for making bad loans to me; Obama’s bailed out my mortgage company for making a loan to me I couldn’t afford and now Obama’s forcing my lender to reduce my mortgage rate from 11.5% to 5.25% and recapitalizing all the property taxes I didn’t pay to the city, schools and everyone else. Obama got me a huge discount for my junker car. You tell me, why should I work?”

    Wow, that’s some honesty for an Obama voter.

    Because you just bought a new car and you still have a mortgage.
