as is the Party and Obama a strong ally?
Obama in the eyes of many has gone from real hope and change to sell out and disappointment. Why? The lack of aggressive leadership for single payer health care was disappointing enough, but now you have the tax cuts for the rich, the budget cuts for poor (because of the tax cuts for rich) and a new costly Libyan War potentially involving ground troops. The Middle East countries should have taken the lead in this civil war not the USA. We have no idea what these rebels represent other than they oppose Qaddafi. It was no more of our business than many of the other civil wars around the world.
I'm actually a progressive registered as Independent so I'm not hung up on Parties. Truthfully I see them as more of a problem than solution.
