Deepak Chopra: 'Obama Should be a One-Term President'
"It's a sad state of affairs. I loved President Obama. I've met with him, I voted for him and I supported him, but I think he's ineffective at the moment" Deepak Chopra

2. Bullshit. He is setting up to go left, on reelection. To do all the things he wanted to, till they
collapsed the country.

14. You need to look with big eyes. They are now fully expecting to be played for suckers, Obama reelect
reelected. GOP almost extinct. Pushed WAY out of american mainstream, by teabaggers. All the while watching Faux, to make sure they read the true pulse of the nation. They will say once too many times, the will of the american people, as if they are the sole legitimate agenda to be served. They are in for a real hurt. They went after woman's jugular. Are gearing up to install automatic gun nests on our border. Want to end collective bargaining, the only worker protection to include physical and pollutants. All that are left are reactionary white old males. So far they have gotten the young and stupid to do their work. That will end. Russ Feingold will have an hand in that.

Yes, I am serious. The times, they are a changin'.

6. So who would be more effective?
The only way there is going to be anything done in Washington with the divide the way it is now is with one party rule. Bipartisonship is completely broken down and won't happen. So who exactly would be more effective?

15. There is no one. It has to be all in. Need a super strong person verbally. Who shows anger.
Then we need Dem majorities. A President can only do what his support in House, Senate and Governors can help with.

17. one party rule?
Edited on Sun Feb-20-11 02:56 PM by Left_Is_Right
Perhaps, but it also will require a change in how things are voted for in congress. If you want to fillabuster, go right ahead. But, expect to REALLY stand there for the duration. The threat of fillabuster is gone. It's either the real deal or no deal. Also, no more of this super majority crap. Majority vote only! No more whining you either won the election or you didn't. If you didn't, wait till next election and see if "we the people" agree with your agenda. Also, the only single party rule I want to see is a democratic party devoid of special interests and blue dogs!

Lefty,
