Creed frontman Scott Stapp stopped by "Fox & Friends" to make a big announcement: He will not be voting for Obama.
Stapp made his remarks Tuesday morning, noting that the recession (which he calls "the great correction") was indicative of a failed Barack Obama presidency. The singer voted for Obama in 2008, but says he is just too disappointed to support the president's bid for a second term.
"I'm just disappointed. I had very high hopes and expectations and was really inspired by President Obama," Stapp said. "And I still am, he's an amazing speaker. But in my opinion, his administration [made] a lot of promises, but no real delivery."
Stapp stopped short of endorsing Mitt Romney. Instead, he said he wished a candidate would lay out a grand vision for the country.
"My heart and soul would really love someone like Reagan or FDR to come back and give us a New Deal," Stapp continued. "Be bold, be committed, don't care what anyone thinks. And when you tear down that wall, do it."
Musicians have been especially vocal this election. The Silversun Pickups demanded that the Romney-Ryan campaign stop using their music (a rep for the campaign said the song would not be used again and was not a part of their regular playlist), and Tom Morello (of Rage Against The Machine) penned a blistering op-ed bashing Paul Ryan -- a self-proclaimed RATM fan -- as the antithesis of everything the band stands for. More recently, Dee Snider also asked the campaign to stop playing "We're Not Gonna Take It."

Creed's Scott Stapp Says He Can't Support Obama Anymore

helps with my us foreign policy class
Anyway, during that debate the first question asked was how will your platform/promises change in the wake of this crash. Obama said they would adjust accordingly and some other conciliatory bs while McCain said it wouldn't change, that he would live up to all his promises. He looked so dumb that the moderator asked him if he was sure.
So no, there was hype around Obama but his platform was reasonable. Add in the fact that there are Republicans in office who VOWED to make him a one term president, then you have your answer.
I really believe Romney is a bored rich guy who wants to show us dregs and welfare queens what business can do unshackled. Unfortunately we know they can do a lot, and most of it horrifying.
I'm not hopefully about what Obama can accomplish next term with a likely republican house. I'm just fearful Romney dragging us into war with Iran and picking at the safety net.
And now they want to bitch and moan about it. Obama is exactly what he was always going to be.
