Oh, dear. The harsh reality of crushed unicorn dreams and the bitter smell of regret. As Twitchy reported, Americans started noticing that Obama’s “fair share” claims weren’t so fair<\/a> and many were shocked … shocked … that their first paychecks of the year were smaller.<\/a><\/p>\n

The indebted young Twitter user above now says she was just being sarcastic, but plenty of Obama supporters facing smaller paychecks continue to show genuine disenchantment. Feel the remorse. **<\/p>\n\n\n

I have a friend who voted for Obama publicly complaining about the new #SS<\/a> tax raise. I would just like to say: You did this to yourself.<\/p>\n

\"sorry-voted-obama\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Real photo or not, that sentiment is being expressed across Twitter. Obama is “the light and the future?<\/a>” Not so much, unless light means light in the wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n

I don’t wanna hear that “I’m mad about these taxes they took out my check shit” from any Obama voters lol stfu you voted for him.<\/p>\n

Oh, sweetie. Bless your heart. Precious Mildred seems to be in a growing minority, as many others realize that the country voted to go Forward! … to smaller paychecks.<\/p>\n\n\n

Twitter users, in yet another prescient move, took solace in the thought that we could at least giggle at all the disenchanted Obama<\/a> voters. And disenchanted, they are.<\/p>\n

The thought of them all scrawling in their tear-stained diaries while smoking cloves and listening to REM’s “Everybody Hurts” is schadenfreud-elicious. However, sadly, we are all dealing with the economy-crushing reality, financial hardship and consequences of their bad choices.  In Obama’s America, everybody does hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n

Everyone going to regret voting for Obama after they receive their firstpaycheck this year (2013 payroll)<\/p>\n
