FDR could push through much of what he wanted without having to deal with endless filibusters & Rupert Murdoch's Media Empire.
Obama has not done everything I have wanted or what I agree with but I am not going to sit here and continue to lie to myself and say someone could have done more than what Obama & the Democratic Congress have done...It simply could not happen! Especially as fast as many seem to think it should have. Obama is not perfect no one is but I like where he is trying to go for the most part. I understand he could change this country big time if he had the support for 4-8 years because change does not happen in 2 years.
Then if Obama had seriously pushed prosecutions of the Bush Administration as I think most of us wanted I know nothing else would have gotten done...By the time the investigations would have got rolling Rupert Murdoch would have had the majority of Americans thinking it was simply a witch hunt!
I know folks here choose to push aside, ignore, act like it is not there or whatever...But the power & influence Rupert Murdoch has over the media (even what he does not own) & the public is far greater than I think many here want to admit. I use to tell myself the same thing.
Please don't yell & scream at me I have heard how sorry & disgusting Obama is & how the Democrats deserve not to be in power...And you will get everything you wish for come November. Then we will be subjected to non-stop investigations into Obama with Rupert Murdoch doing his thing to push the investigations into the minds of the public & keep the rest of the press following his lead. All to discredit not just Obama but the entire Democratic Party & 2012 will be what many here have said they think the Democrats deserve.
