What-the-hell! did we elect a Democrat to the White House in 2008 for !!,,, if he, as the first black President, is going down in history as the biggest compromising character and hypocritical national leader since Bill Clinton promised!! us on tv he was not having an affair with Monica ,,, and President Kennedy was cheating all the time we now know on us in prolonging the un-Win-able VietNam War and dragging his feet on Civil Rights and cheating on his beautiful wife, in the White House !?
If a Progressive Party, like the TR's bull moose from the 1910s and the Repubs, appears soon (Greens?) especially from the now definitely proven to be ineffectual (too easy virtue to make a deal so corp. american can make a fast buck) Democratic National Party, President Obama will have had only one term. He has just so severely disappointed his base , that it would take another bro-Gov. Florida corruption election with the sick Supremes for him to get a second term. We now know what we did not want to know; He talks with high purpose but does weak embarrassing back room deals instead of standing strong with his base and fighting for principles and worthy goals.
So he has agreed to weaken Social Security. Huge disappointment. HUGE. And not bring back progressive taxation, on companies that are EXPORTING AMERICAN JOBS FOR A FAST BUCK and the super rich who can sooo afford it; It is such a weak excuse to say a recession is the wrong time to raise taxes on those who can easily afford it, when you won't raise taxes in the go-go bubble good times of the 1990s !!
No wonder old good Democrats have been 'retiring' and leaving Congress and Washington,D.C. like a fire alarm only they can hear! Or maybe it is like a sinking rowboat ,,, with the Republicans throwing away the oars and all rushing to the front to get a better view as it sinks ,,, and the Democrats have legs straddling both gunwales, not sure if they are suppose to rock the boat or jump off the left side or the right side or stabilize the boat.
So we got a National Medical Plan, if it doesn't have even a public option, since the President campaign talked about Single Payer. And now the federal courts are weakening it with questions about everyone having to pay in, like all having to buy car insurance to drive in California. Or buy flood insurance if you buy a house even tho Ross Creek probably will never flood unless mgmt wants it to. Or be drafted in college for VietNam when then there was zero chance of winning and our leaders knew it.
The bankers are again so arrogant--have you seen them partying lately too?-- after their big tax dollar bail out when we should have let them be broken up and started a national public works program for more American jobs and to fix the Crumbling American Infrastructure (see documentary dvd) from highways to exploding gas lines to water lines and sewage plants to bridges falling in rivers and killing people. We should have outlawed a.r.m.s mortgages and nationalized all housing mortgages at a super low rate like 1%fixed to keep Americans in their houses.
But none of that is going to happen , i guess. Now that President Obama has shown his true nature of compromise, tho talk big, but don't fight for what you said you believed in. We, the public, have just lost all hope. Maybe the blacks will still vote for him; They don't value education over a fast buck and understand compromised ethics. And Mexicans expect so little from their govt(mordita anyone) that they as Mexican-Americans won't give a dam about the USA's future and vote for him too.
But his embarrassing back room recently revealed behavior, like Clinton's and astonishingly Kennedy's, has severely disappointed in my opinion the white vote and the majority vote made up of hard working, well educated, not rich Americans.
