Couldn't have said it better. None of us who isn't in the upper levels of our government really knows just how bad things are. Many of us have a fair clue, but that's it. And, that pile of shit keeps getting bigger by the day. I keep hearing how people were expecting President Obama to be another FDR. Well, besides the fact that there will only be one FDR, FDR was not expected to fix everything in the span of two years, despite constant obstructionism from "those 40 retards in the Senate". It took him nearly a decade, and would have taken even longer had not World War 2 come around.

I get pissed off at the President, too. I didn't like that he folded on the tax cuts, and healthcare reform left me wanting. But, under the current circumstances, I don't believe anyone else, not even FDR, could have done much better. And, FDR couldn't get ANY healthcare passed. Neither could Truman, JFK, LBJ, Carter or Clinton. The President is doing the best anyone could do under the current situation. I can't believe he still wants to be President, either. I'd have slit my wrists long before now, if I were in that job.
