Gee, what an indictment tht Obama's economy is really a Repug economy. Doesn't that remove a ton of incentive to be thrilled about Obama? Now, he's really a moderate Repug, but everyone on the real Repugs side are just batshit crazy. I'll go for less crazy, but still not happy. How can the base be fired up when Obama gives us practically nothing to cheer for. I am so disappointed in him in WI. He gave it away by not competing and has been seriously weakened as a result. We need a fighter, but we have an appeaser.
