183. perfect comment

so I'll kick ^^
I think he;s a fine person.
much of what he's done and said is good.

but a LOT of what he's done and said is not so good.

unfortunately the good he's done is far out-weighed by the bad, destructive to the middle class, that he's done or allowed.

example:
medical "reform"
good: up the age of dependents to 26, "eliminated" pre-existing conditions
bad: everything else in that bill, including a massive give away to insurance companies with no real restrictions or oversight on what they can charge.

some good, mostly bad.

[Moostache]

73. To borrow from the man himself....

"You're likable ENOUGH Barrack."

No disrespect, but my "liking" him has almost nothing to do with his performance...he's a nice enough guy, but has not shown much guts or gumption for taking the fight to the other side instead of sitting back and playing constant "Rope-a-Dope" while absorbing withering punishment. Hell, too often it has seemed that Obama's best negotiating has been done with himself BEFORE making policy decisions (I am thinking Bush tax cuts, wars, Gitmo, torture prosecutions, war crimes trials, etc.).

I can't see a path to any better options in November 2012, so I am 99.9% sure to vote for Obama again - but with far, far less enthusiasm as I did in '08. My only real hope for him is that once freed from the necessities of getting a second term at all that he will grew a pair of Truman-sized balls and simply go to town on the Rethugs from January of 2013 through October of 2016...that's the dream I dream now and it sucks compared to the dreams I held for our country in November of 2008.

back before he was POTUS. Now I just want to find some way to get this nation's much-needed progressive reforms enacted. So to this end I would like to see Obama primaried from the left. That will make me real popular in this thread, no doubt. Also we need real Dems in Congress whenever possible, conserva-dems are repub enablers and do tremendous damage to progressive causes.

Lets face it, we have had two years of Republican policy from the Gingrich "health care plan" of the 90's (enacted) to the voucher and starve public schools Republican plan (expanded from NCLB to something even more extreme) To the permanent war policies supported by the neocons, to the rights to spy on Americans (or kill them at your pleasure)policies of the Bush era (expanded), to the nullification of the torture laws (like jury nullification except this admin has nullified torture as a punishable offense using the Justice Dept. rather than the more popular citizen jury nullification often used by juries to refuse to convict an unjust law)

I could go on for another half hour but what is the point? "When our guy does it it's OK" or whatever. Isn't that the accepted meme?

Ie., the continuation and expansion of the nation-bankrupting empiric war theatres, continuation and expansion of the police state/surveillance society, the extension of the Bush-era tax cuts for the richest Americans, the utter lack of prosecutions for the systemic monetary system controllers, the abysmal faux-reform health care reform bill (written to a large degree by the largest insurance companies), the surrounding of himself at the highest levels of his administration with various Wall Street bankster thugs and big business-as-usual cronies, thus guaranteeing continuity of agenda, fecklessness in the face of systemic torture by the military and black ops spearheads (Bradley Manning-who he declared guilty without a trial, non-shutdown of Guantanamo, etc.), the list reels on and on, as does the social democratic progressive mind.
