I would like your opinion on this. It has reached my ears that a great many Jamaicans are now disenchanted with Barack. When he won four years ago there was great jubiliation in the streets. I took some Obama T shirts wih me to give friends and you would have thought I had passed out gold bricks. So 1. Is this your opinion as well? and 2. Can you tell me , in your opinion, why this might be the case ?

I can't speak for others but for me, I'm not disillusioned with Obama at all.
No – Obama's not perfect but am glad Romney didn't win. I don't trust him – he's incredibly insincere, I feel like if I got into an elevator with him and his wife she'd pull her purse just a wee bit closer to her side and he'd push a floor he wasn't going to just to get off, he can't relate to the common man – doesn't understand having to struggle – I'm not an advocate of 'big government' but he seems to want to stop help the little man in any way possible and seemingly roots for the rich; he's already told us he doesn't care about he 47% of us and I thicken he's elitist.
There's a disrespect that he (and his party*) have dished to Obama that has never been given to any US President that I can recall. Romney acts like he was entitled to the presidency.
They wait until the country is in the bottom of the toilet before they give someone like Obama the chance to be president (2008) and they expect him to clean it up in 4 years – no one could.
(*the same party that literally, HELD a meeting to figure out how to make Obama a 1 term president – said this was their primary goal – sorry, that's not what I sent u to DC for)Comment

Sounds like "Malarky" to me. Where I voted there were about 200 people in line. I would say every other person was Jamaican. All the Jamaican folks I know were engaged and voting big time for Obama. In Jamaican many of my friends on facebook were pushing for Obama. Again this sounds like strange...Out of Many One People Online

not all jamaicans think the same way. a number of my jamaican relatives living in america voted for romney because they like the easy slogans (less government, no tax on the rich), while others voted for obama because they believe in what he stands for.
as a jamaican-canadian, i am very glad Obama won. He's an extraordinary American. Not a perfect man, but a leader of the first order. I read a very long essay about him today in a copy of the New Yorker issued just before the election. The New Yorker endorsed him, and the essay ended with this:
"The reelection of Barack Obama is a matter of great urgency. Not only are we in broad agreement with his policy directions; we also see in him what is absent in Mitt Romney - a first-rate political temperament and a deep sense of fairness and integrity. A two-term Obama Administration will leave an enduringly positive imprint on political life. It will bolster the ideal of good governance and a social vision that tempers individualism with a concern for community. Every Presidential election involves a contest over the idea of America. Obama's America - one that progresses, however falteringly, toward social justice, tolerance, and equailty - represents the future this country deserves."Comment

Yes, of course some voted for Mittens. Not just Jamaicans, but many African Americans as well. But the results on Tuesday clearly show that while many of us do not agree with 100% of what he did/does, we still want him in the oval office.Originally posted by Xavier View Post
The gay thing may have caused many to get vexed, but it looks like most people got over it...especially when they got a good look at Mittens.7/5th of all people do not understand fractions.Comment
