Question: Wouldn't This Be The Perfect Time For Obama To Pivot ???

[WillyT]

I mean... if he wants to regenerate "The Hope"... wouldn't this be the perfect time???

Repukes are infighting, socials versus fiscals, Tea Party versus "Adult" Republicans, nobody is sure if they want to challenge Obama for the Presidency, Right or Left.

Just a question.

My last particle of hope.

1. Pivot to what?

He's already on the side he likes... their side.

2. It would be the perfect time to resign..

...and retire to a Buddhist monastery.

Power corrupts, and the only way to not be complicit in the corruption is to withdraw from the world.

Obama can still be saved. Let someone who's already lost his soul, like Boehner -- he's third in line for succession, right -- take over.

10. April Fool's Day, suggesting Orange Boehner for POTUS...

5. He's twisting in the wind now. n/t

[msongs]

6. yes but he is popular with college students, isn't that enough? nt

8. The Democratic Party has a secret slogan they're going to roll out...

"Not the Republican, sorta"

[polichick]

9. LOL - oyyyy

[madrchsod]

7. he isn`t going to move....

[PurityOfEssence]

11. No, no, no, no; he has to go waay farther to the right and more imperialistic; it's chess, ya know

What are you thinking?

[inna]

12. he's exactly where he wants to be.

not on the workers' side.

13. I agree with you! Now would be the time to call their bluff

on every single bill the right wants. If Obama began standing on party principles now and stepping between the bullies and the people he would be a hero. I have always felt he is letting the GOP hang themselves but then, he gives in sometimes before the fight even begins.

I really like and respect the man but he is no match for the cruel and vicious right!
