I'm all for being bi-partisan, but the dems in D.C. have shown no wish and have no need to get the GOP on their side. They have the majority and can/will dictate whatever policies they wish. So why are they so hell bent on trying to get the support of the Republicans? Because the left knows it will fail and they don’t want all the blame.
Obama talks a good game (which is why he got elected), but he has shown nothing thus far to turning things around in this country. He still has a long leash on him, but there is only so much time that a politician can continue to say, "These problems aren't going to go away overnight". Eventually the accountability will shift to THIS administration and the U.S. will do what it always does, search for a new candidate to solve their problems.
This recession was coming no matter which party was in charge. The housing crisis started with Clinton and Carter. He pushed for easier mortgage loans to those who could not reasonably afford them. Bush turned a blind eye for the first 5-6 years but then tried to pass legislation when it started to become a political issue but the Democratic Congress wouldn't pass it, again for political reasons (you can find all this out through research).
Both parties are at fault. Each trying to top the other for political gain and power while the American people sit idly by getting screwed over at every turn in the name of their favorite party...Democrats & Republicans.
Housing, Industry, Banking....it was a house of cards built up over the last 20-30 years by every Presidency, and it was coming down no matter who was in charge. The bigger question is...Who can rebuild it, who can do it the quickest, who can do it with the best foundation? Is it Obama, is it a Democrat, is it a Republican, or is it someone we do not yet know of?
The far right is what is wrong with America. Only Obama and the Dems can fix this! I hear that kind of BS all the time from libs. Libs think all conservatives whether independent are all a bunch of gun toting bible hugging people like Obama hinted to in his no infamous gaffe with the mic during the campaign trail.
He's turned in a black Bush some on the left are saying. Pro war, pro big business, anti-openness, anti-civil and criminal rights, anti-Muslim, anti-Constitution, etc. Once again, America fell for talk over substance. How long before we realized Nader was right, there are two wings of the corporate party, and the election only determines which corporations control the government?
I didn't vote for him because I don’t share his views on social policies, gitmo, the war on terror, and his income redistribution. Because Obama is a liberal and I am a conservative.
Besides those differences, I back my president and my country until such time as they show me a reason why not.
So far I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised (minus that when he opens his mouth the market dips), which I can read has really been chapping the hides of his lib supporters.
-His stance on Iraq was different then his campaign
-his stance on prosecuting Bush era for things is encouraging
-his stance on gitmo tribunals
-his stance with the car company bailouts
-his stance on gay marriage
-his stance on credit card companies and their practices
The gitmo stance of will he close it or not is so much like will Brett Favre retire or play. I am so sick of it!
The democrats and Nancy Pelosi ushered the new age of ethics....pause....sorry I was laughing my arse
Just wait....Obama hasn't dug deep in our pockets enough yet. The only people that are going to profit from Omama's green vision is Al Gore and Jeffery Imlet.
Gore already made $100 million
The rest of us will have $2000/month utility bills...
Wake up people....it's not economical now
It wasn’t economical at $150 oil.....
Solar panels and windmills don’t work in tornadoes, hurricanes, snow storms etc etc
I guarantee your electricity is going up in price
It takes $.50/kwh to make windmills and solar panel viable.
You better sell you 3000 square ft house now. We are all going back to 1000 sq ft...maybe even caves if the wind does not blow and we don’t build some nuclear plants.
Learn that this congress and this president are not helping our economy. Government has and will never be good a running a business and, no matter how great the intentions, will they be successful.
An economy based on government controlled spending only benefits one group of people: The politicians whose elections are based on how much they bring back to there home state/district.
According to Marx/Engels, Dialectic Materialism leads humans through the following stages of economic evolution:
Tribalism, Feudalism, Capitalism, Socialism, and finally, Communism.
The human race must evolve from each stage. If Marx/Engels are correct, then the United States has just begun the throes of revolution that will lead us to the next ideal on this hemisphere's rosy path to communism.
I wish it wasn't so.
Are we now in the Obama depression? Even as we are now spending our grandchildren’s money to enact a socialist agenda, our economy continues to get worse by the day.
The D.C. Republicans may have sworn off calling it socialism, but this is a grassroots level and I call a spade a spade!
