How’s Obama going to react to any polls? At this point he needs McConnel’s permission to flush the toilet in the White House. Chris Roack would have made a way better first “black” President. He would have humiliated those fools on the right instead of shining their shoes.

We have to realize that when the opposition is using tough tactics the best course of action is to whine to our supporters about how difficult things are, then give up without a fight.
At age 50 being dumb enough to still play competitive sports it makes me feel so much better to cry to the referee then quit whenever an opposing player runs my goalie or takes a shot at our best players. Trust me that’s not the way things go down because it only encourages more of the same. Did this president really play sports, ever? If so, it’s clear his playing days are over because he can’t even stand up for himself in the non-contact world of politics!

There won’t be a free ride for ‘ol Joe this time around. No shot as a Democrat. No longer controls own fake party. He can only make it as a Republican, which was proven last time around by the votes and the donations he took. He’ll have to choose, and we all know how Joe loves giving a straight answer. Should be great theatre watching Joe squirm when asked what party he represents this time and exactly what he stands for.
We’ll be following the money Joe, and we’ve still got the last election on tape in case anyone forgets.

The “Top Talent” is dstroying this country. One wonders if the natural trajectory of (out of control) capitalism is simply a fascist corporatocracy where the tricle-up mentality continually pressures us into a ruling class vs peasants economic model. We can’t even get an honest investigation of the profits being made on these scanners from the MSM.
Unequal justice, more prisons, less privacy, less healthcare, fewer living wage jobs = more liberty? We’ve been there before and we’re headed back it seems. The only difference now is they’re rewriting the history books in real time.

First force a huge bailout on the nation just before the election and get Obama to support that, then get Obama to mandate overpriced healthcare coverage from Insurance companies, and finally force hime to cut Social Security and Medicare. Rebublicans can now let the Democrats try to run on those policies, pretending they were against it all along.
Good strategy Mr. President! Destroy the Democratic Party and the country at the same time! Is this guy for real? (That’s not a rhetorical question.)

It’s been a number of monthes since deciding I couldn’t vote for Obama again no matter how many pretty speeches he gives between now and 2012. He just can’t be trusted to fight for us. Living in Connecticut however, there are a number of good candidates serving in Congress led by my favorite Joe Courtney, that are worth fighting for and supporting. Someday soon we’ll get rid of Joe LIE-berman, but in the meantime it’s important to start thinking about pressuring this President to be the best one-term President he can be, then get out because he doesn’t really have the stomach for it (and neither do I for watching him take punches then throw us under the bus).
Is he really what he pretends to be? I’m not sure but it’s time to start looking for his replacement. At least find someone else we can vote for wit a clear conscience. I will no longer reward candidates for using progressive and labor issues as their bargaining chips to be given away to the corporations as he has consistently done and be seen as the scapegoat at the same time.
That’s over!
