(74 posts).....that the amoral, greedy, corrupted, usually racist and sexist Repugnanticans have had only one true objective since President Obama won election back in November '08: that he only serve one term. They didn't hide this objective (McConnell and others oft-stated it publicly). They knew that this administration had inherited a steaming fresh pile from the Bush administration - leaving our country verging on yet another major depression. To such un-American GOP cretins, it simply doesn't matter that their party, the Bush administration, and their corrupted, greedy corporate puppet masters had caused the economic steaming pile. All that mattered was and remains that the blame for the economic steaming pile be transferred to the Democrats and the Obama administration. Faux News, Newsmax, Drudge, Rush, et al, did their part - while the Republicans in the House and the Senate blocked every bill that they could which could've helped our nation's economy and employment. It didn't matter one iota that their self-serving strategy and despicable tactics resulted in additional, unnecessary suffering of a sizable segment of our country's citizens.
It's a miracle that President Obama, his administration, and the Democrats in the House and the Senate accomplished as much as they have during the past 3 1/2 years....despite the Republican unwavering priority to poison the electoral well for President Obama by screwing over our country and its citizens. {{{off rant}}}

(22,057 posts)However my congressman is Benny Thompson-DEMOCRAT (big and little d). I may hate both my senators (Rethugs Cochran and Wicker-both bigtime assholes), my governor (POS Phil Bryant), my lt gov etcetera, etcetera et-fucking-cetera but at least I can be proud of my congressman. A liberal Democrat, he almost always votes the way I would. He's the senior minority Democrat on the House Security Committee and if Democrats ever take back the house he will be THE MAN. Until then, he's gor my vote.

(10,893 posts)Compared to the trio of candidates remaining for president, he's like a breath of fresh air. They all have been running seemingly pessimistic and negative campaigns, both Romney and Gingrich are Pander Bears and lie like Pinnochio, Ron Paul plans on taking the country back to the Stone Age with his freedom-based discrimination policies and his Gold Standard idea that has failed in the past, they all neglect the interests of the working class judging by their tax plans...I could go on.
I just wish PBO would move more to the left on some of his policies. I have to admit--it gets tiring to hear Cenk and Eliot call him out almost daily on his hesitance to support progressive goals like legalization of marijuana, less drilling, legalization of same-sex marriage, and even increased gun control.
Other than that, I think he's doing his best and is an incredibly intelligent president and speaker. And as someone mentioned above, it's an amazing feat for him to have accomplished as much as he did, despite a hostile Congress being elected in 2010.
