I'm pretty much done with Barack Obama. Nothing he's done has bore any resemblance to what I voted for. Aside keeping Sarah Palin out of a position of power. I guess that's a plus.
i've been thinking the same thing lately, but i'm still happy he's not mccain. As shitty as Obama is, mccain would have done much worse I think. And obviously Palin. Honestly though, while I was happy he won and not mccain who sucks at life, I've always known he was a politician and was probably still going to not be that great, like all politicians. I think a lot of people forgot about that when he was running.
Well, I was a Hillary supporter in the primaries because I thought he was full of shit, but once he got the nomination, I thought, hey what the hell, maybe he's for real. But I'm sick of the nothing getting done, then he goes and makes a speech about whatever whatever and it's so fucking wonderful and fills you with confidence, and then nothing gets done still. This health care shit is awful...He's so obsessed with getting a republican/douche bag democrat vote that this health care bill does NOTHING except raise premiums from the insurance companies. No public option (which WAS the compromise to what most democrats want, a single payer system), no medicare buy-in, oh, and now it might be practically illegal to get an abortion in the United States. Way to go
( ... )
I can't STAND how he's trying to make both sides work together, but is really just letting the republicans run the show in fear of pissing them off, because he knows if Palin (or Huckabee, or someone like that) runs he'll definitely get the democrat vote, but he wants the republican vote now, too. But now all he's doing is make both sides hate him. It's ridiculous. At least Bush stuck to his guns.
Exactly. And all the real democrats who've been on board with real change and real progressive ideas the entire time have been completely disenfranchised. It makes me sick. I understand he wants some kind of "new age of politics" and all that idealistic shit (I assume he's being naive if not downright disingenuous about that), but that's not the way our system works and even if it could, these people wouldn't play ball.
And you're right about Bush. Even if his agenda was infantile and irresponsible if not a little evil, he got shit done.
So yeah, I'm kind of hoping he gets a primary challenger in 2012 at this point. This guy shouldn't be the face of the party.
