Reply #105: Some of the people reading this may be shocked, but I agree.

In bad times, people respond well to a radical change in the status quo.

That's what's at the root of Klein's SHOCK DOCTRINE.
Ironically, in a country that's already been pushed as far to the right as it could possibly go...if you shock it again the people have nowhere to go but LEFT. Which is how Obama got elected! The country WANTED a change in the status quo, ESPECIALLY a change in the POLITICAL status quo.

Obama F#CKED THAT UP BEYOND RECOGNITION! I've never seen an opportunity so badly wasted. NEVER! What he needed to do was make a clean break from the status quo, and the world and the economy would be booming righ now. Unfortunately, all we got was more wheeling and dealing and horse trading in Congress, and a lot of yielding to terrorism and hostage taking.

Too bad. I'm as disappointed as anybody here.

Having said that, the way to fix the solution is not to give the Democratic party and Obama some "tough love" and a spanking. Much like in 1979, that will have the opposite effect.
