Who thinks the President needs to come out swinging against the GOP meme
that all regulations are bad? Big business is certainly getting a toehold on the issue in America and all this in the middle of two disasters (BP and the economy)caused by lack of regulation.

2. LOLZ!!!!!
""Big business is certainly getting a toehold on the issue in America""

Toehold?... Big business has taken up residence inside the White House.

$700 Billion with no strings for felony criminal bankers. Criminal bankers appointed to positions of over-site.

Witness the felony criminal perpetrators of the largest environmental disaster in US and maybe even world history. This admin is allowing them to run clean up of their crime scene, and with the Coast Guard even helping them suppress evidence and restrict reporter access.

the only thing you'll find swinging from Obama is words. Empty rhetoric presented on the wholly corporate owned Orwell tool, designed to placate the sedated masses.

7. "Big business has taken up residence inside the White House."
That's hyperbole, like much of your response.

LOLZ!!!!! Indeed.

11. "Empty rhetoric" indeed....
:rofl:

Oh, and it's spelled "oversight", unless, of course, you're putting it on a protest sign, in which case, you should use your spelling.

3. How about the Meme that we should Invest Soc Security in the Stock Market...
.. while the stock market has gone sideways for the last 20 years.

That won't stop Mr. Obama.. he still wants your Social Security.. every last penny...

15. I'd like to see 15 Alan Graysons out there. And 15 Bernie Sanders.
And 15 Anthony Weiners. And more and more Senators and Congresspeople with Democratic guts to grab all public platforms and make that case.

We need 100 Howard Deans.

8. He has already came out swinging,
in the last several speeches. The problem is some folks then say it's empty rhetoric.

He is up to bats with the bases loaded.

13. I have complained about Obama not being more
out spoken with the GOP. But I think the reason he isn't is because it is not his nature. By now he has got to have learned that the only way he is going to get people to stay on his side, get out and vote this fall, re-elect our Democrats (even tho some are not doing their job either) to keep us going
and clean up Bush's mess is to be out spoken and give em hell. I wish he would. Maybe by nature he is a quiet soul, but that AIN'T gonna kick butt. Get some "sock it to em" Mr. President and show them republicans that we Democrats are sick and tired of being sick and tired of their crap.
