Reply #6: It's The Intangibles...

You can say this administration saved the economy from cratering...and I agree...but it's like proving a negative. The only way to prove how bad it could have gotten was to let it happen (and there were plenty here rooting for that). There was little "honeymoon" time with the corporate media who loves the controversy and showing the administration "whose boss".

Unfortunately people don't look at what might be or who caused the problems...they're expecting answers and solutions...unfortunately for too many out there it's not happening. While I put the blame on the kleptocracy of the booosh years that bankrupted the treasury and the 30 years of Raygonimics that destroyed the middle class, most people look at the here and now...whatcha done for me lately.

The progress have been in half measures...fighting a political establishment hellent on the status quo and it left everyone with a bad taste in their mouth. Accomodating to the GOOP wasted precious time that led to a healthcare bill that leaves more questions than answers and a supposed financial reform that does little to reregulate or prevent the banksters from turning the markets into a gambling casino (and much of it now with taxpayer money).

I honestly would like to feel better about this administration but I can't. I see it now reacting rather than being proactive and letting the corporate media and faux noise frame every issue now. This is the price you get for accomodation and all of us will pay if the GOOP retakes either the House or Senate in November...and even then this administration will get all the blame.
