You can sum up Obama's fitness for the job by this one failure. [View All]

It is something that grates on me every single day, because it could have been done, yet he chose a much different path, and the fact that he didn't has caused millions more Americans to suffer needlessly. And I'm just not sure how much he cares.

His failure? Turning to Wall Street and handing over the keys to the Federal Reserve, when he should have announced a massive Rooseveltian style WPA jobs program AS SOON AS HE TOOK OFFICE.

In case anyone has forgotten, this country was hemorrhaging 500,000 to 700,000 jobs PER MONTH, at the time Bush left office.

No one will be able to convince me that Obama couldn't have done it then. At that moment in time, he had more political capital than he would ever have.

But he chose Wall Street. It was their money and his slick rhetoric that got him elected, but when you boil it down, it was their money. He owed them. And he paid them off.

And we got kissed off. He may as well have flipped us the finger, because that's how I felt.

I will not forget, and I will not forgive.

This jobs bill he wants passed now is never going to come to be. Instead of being a strong and forceful leader coming right out of the gate, he has shown the opposition that he is weak and naive, to say the least, or that he is willingly complicit in his caving in to every republican demand. The party of NO will get their way again.

And people want to reward him for this kind of performance?

Not me. No way.
