33. No, it isn't
You can claim he is the lesser of two evils and you voted knowing that. You can't then turn around and claim that he's disappointing you because he's not living up to your ideals.

You can't project blame on others who voted for him as if you have no responsiblity for helping to elect him.

You can't claim people were deceived based on positions Obama never held.

"Lesser of two evils" is clear. Using that to support the claim that it doesn't matter who you vote for is hogwash.

Using that to claim that Obama supports something he does not is disingenuous.

It seems people are projecting by charging that others were "suckered" or "deceived" just to prove that they were right that he is in fact the "lesser of two evils."

That's nonsense. No one was "suckered."
