    Your points are well taken, thanks for the snarky insult as well. My point was that he has a sizable ego (all Presidents have it) and somewhere in his brain believes he can be re-elected, but those pesky voters aren’t lockstepping all in a row like the Republicans…so what kind of BS is he going to sell us 18 months from now?

    What’s Obama’s endgame here? Anyone have ideas? He isn’t stupid, he knew that reaching out to Republicans would get him nowhere quickly, but he did it anyway, spending his political capital with the base all the way to zero.

    Now he’s getting it from all sides, the teabagger wingnuttery who won’t ever like anything done by a black President, and those of us that are actually well informed and aren’t cowed by the condescending words out of Professional Democrats that we should eat shit and make believe it’s steak because the other guys are worse. In essence this election is a report card on Obama and the Democrats, and the grades are bad.

    So what does Obama get out of this? The catfood commission hasn’t even made it’s splash yet, which will be another nail in the Obama coffin along with any other Democrats foolish enough to vote for it. There is still a ways to the 2012 election, but at this rate he has little to no political capital to spend in order to garner votes for his reelection. And his arrogance betrays a strong desire (or feeling of entitlement) to be reelected. So what’s the rabbit he’s going to pull out of his hat? Afghanistan won’t be ended, and unless the banksters take it on the chin the economy will still suck. I’m trying to figure out where his (corporate bought) head is…
