7. Its not the same pattern......
Edited on Sat Dec-11-10 01:43 AM by FrenchieCat
its simply the politics of our sides not having as many votes in one of the houses as they need to pass measures that are real progressive.

It's politics where the media decides what's gonna happen, what will be reported and how, and what polls will be touted to sway the masses.

It's politics where during the HCR, the President was criticized for not taking enough of a lead,
and when he takes the lead when nothing is getting done by congress on both the tax and the UI issue, he's criticized for doing it alone...like Dems were themselves gonna come up with something better than what Obama negotiated....Sure (rolling my eyes). I'm sure if he would have done something else, while he was trying, he would have been criticized for whatever.... fill in the blank.

It's politics when folks who actually do know better pretend not to in order to criticize pretty much the only thing that stand between us and the whole fucking country becoming a facist ass piece of shit as it did under Bush...

and I guess, it's the politics of activist to just sit on the side line making snarky coments with their foot up Obama's ass about every fucking thing! (did you hear he left the Presser with WJC early, going against the command of those who like to think they are there to tell him what to do about everything?)

So yeah...it's predictable.

Starting in January, it will become even harder,
and I guess that means that feet will be that much deeper
up Obama's ass.

Great! Can't wait to watch us defeat ourselves,
and blame one man. :eyes:
