(16,646 posts)the things Obama did were never going to work. That's the point. The magnitude of what is happening is growing larger every day and middle of the road measures haven't accomplished anything, and won't accomplish anything except to create a false sense of accomplishment. Opposing those efforts that WILL accomplish something because today you can't find a way to get them through congress is just contributing to the problem. We need to first identify those solutions that will accomplish something. Clearly explain how to accomplish them, and then move forward in building the political consensus to do so. Wasting time on efforts that won't accomplish anything, just because we'll get a "win" is not only wasting time, but is an obstacle to a solution.
