Reply #38: Yes, I'm not encouraging anyone to vote for Obama

[Time for change]

Yes, he inherited a mess. And instead of seriously attempting to do something about that mess, he continually "compromises" with the Republican psychopaths that you rightly state won't cooperate with him.

Where do I get the notion that Obama's philosophy is Republican light? I stated several places where I got that notion in the OP. To reiterate and add some:

1. Obama quote "I’ve never believed that government’s role is to create jobs or prosperity..."
2. He settled for a much smaller stimulus bill than our non-Wall Street connected economists told him was the necessary minimum.
3. His stimulus bill put way too much emphasis on tax reduction, and not enough on infrastructure and social programs
4. He continued the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, even though he campaigned on just the opposite.
5. He supports so-called "free trade" bills that outsource American jobs
6. He authored a health care bill that:
a. Leaves the private insurance industry in charge of health care insurance
b. Mandates that most Americans purchase health insurance from private health insurance companies
c. Has done nothing to decrease the number of Americans with insurance (In fact there are now 5 million more uninsured Americans.
7. Bailed out Wall Street with several trillion $ and then neglected to support legislation to adequately regulate them

There is much more, but I'll leave it at that for now.
