I don't feel that Galloway was entirely fair to Obama, but pretty much sums up my feelings.

Obama should get some credit for a few things.
Obama DID do the Stem Cell Thing, and a small part of the Stimulus Package may actually help Working Americans...so he should get some credit.
I also believe that Obama has been a wonderful success in instantly repairing our International Image, though if he keeps the WARS going, and keeps "Black Torture Prisons" and "Renditions" operative that will change quickly as more and more civilians are racked up in the collateral damage.

My biggest disappointment is his lack of will in using the Bully Pulpit to rein in the Conservative Democrats in Congress.

Can you imagine how LBJ would have dealt with the traitorous Blue Dog coalition?
Can you imagine Joe Lieberman standing up and blocking LBJ's agenda?
or Harry Reid?
or Evan Bayh?
:rofl:
They would have been dog meat before sundown.

Obama needs to find his inner LBJ.
He has everything he needs.
Overwhelming Public Support,
Big Majorities in the Senate and House
Plenty of Political Capital

He just seems to be lacking the WILL to use it.
