That's Funny. FF on that one.

Feet of clay.

Mr. Obama has not done enough to fight back.

Mr. Obama has not done enough to fight back.

Sounds like a great leader to me.

Or someone who, like most Americans, is tired of the partisan fighting and would like to see us return to a reasonable level of civilities in our politics.

Just take a look at this place. It's one thing to disagree and debate, and a whole 'nother to haave to be a snarky asshole every post about it like some are.

Civility...

Or someone who, like most Americans,

Don't make excuses.

I want you to hold our government accountable. I want you to hold me accountable.

Civility...

In this place? You must be dreamin'.

LIVE OR DIE

If Obama doesn't make an attempt at ending thie cycle of rancorous nonsense we've had since the mid 90's, who should? It doesn't serve anyone outside the beltway's interests to keep it up. Winning for winning's sake isn't cutting it IMO.

There a time not so long ago when we had a loyal opposition in America, and got things done through compromise and an reasonably expected level of civility regardless of party. Since the Cold War ended, I can't think of a time except a few days after 9/11 when we were all Americans again who, when we did disagree, didn't try to take each other's heads off.

AU,

Civility is one thing the republicans need to get some of. Spreading lies about Obama is unacceptable, as is just opposing every little fart in the wind that comes from the administration. I won't vote for anyone who acts like that.

But Obama can do more to "fight back" against special interests with out being nasty or uncivil. Frankly, I would've liked to have seen a little nastiness aimed toward Wall Street following TARP and the like.

Not as long as the internet provides the anonymity angry, miserable people need to vent out at their own unhappy lives. You know that saying, "Misery Loves Company".

A lot of the nastier ones online have to have extremely short dicks. They have to act like badasses to make up for their own shortcomings and self created miseries IRL.

The same ones who threw stones in the schoolyard as kids and gigled like schoolyards among their own kind until someone, or often their own bitter natures, eventually kicked their asses but good. They come here where they can hide in in a cloak of anonymity and vent. I'd bet good money life isn't a bowel of cherries for the biggest offenders on this site. We reap what we sow. Time tested truth.

CHRIS, anyway that's my observation, having lived enough life to have witnessed it time and again. The kids we grew up like that are adults (chronically) and probably bitch every hour at what a raw deal life is, or that it's all someone else's fault. One of their first few stone must have broken the mirror they should have taken a good look in long ago.

It's not even breathing hard

When your spending the huge amounts of money that Obama is, it's a no brainer you will have lobbyists/special interests trying to influence how it is spent.

If Republicans were spending this kind of money you would have similar influences.

On the off chance you ever sober up, try a whip and a chair, a rope and a pulley, some lighter fluid and a box of matches.

Wall Street owns Obama. He will do nothing. Steve Cohen will make sure that he does nothing to the larger hedge funds( over $5 billion). He might convince Obama to pass some regulations that take out the smaller hedge funds ( under $2 B)that can often cause volatility in the ABS market

"He might convince Obama to pass some regulations..."

You might want to check out the US Constitution on that one. Obama doesn't pass anything.

In any event, Congress may/may not pass, Obama may/may not sign (a veto being subject to override). Pursuant to enacted laws, administrative departments may promulgate regulations.

But the way the GOPiggies are rushing towards the scent of Wall Street money, don't look for the Senate to do much anytime soon.
