1. We need a primary challenger for 2012,

Obama has made it abundantly clear who he works for and it is not "we the people".

[Metta]

2. Exactly so. Pity it won't happen.

Sigh. Happily, there's karma even if we don't get to see it bear fruit.

3. Question for Obama defenders

What markets do you think he's referring to? k&r

[Ramulux]

4. That Obama quote is amazing

I have never seen him be so blatant about who it is he answers to. I am so glad someone was willing to talk to the press about this meeting. It perfectly demonstrates everything that is wrong with the democrats.

If we keep electing these kind of corporatist democrats nothing is ever going to get better in this country. They are actively making things worse.

6. Cenk is on it again...

Even though I don't like them calling themselves "The Young Turks", Cenk and his gang are always good for good commentary. Good one! Agree, wish we had a primary challenger, but it's not going to happen. Plus, there's a side of me that feels that despite how much I disagree with the direction Obama has gone on a number of things and despite how frustrating it is how he caves so much... he has to win re-election.

7. At least he doesn't try to hide his corporatist slant.

That's not exactly a selling point though.

9. Yes, not exactly a ringing endorsement, is it?

Thing I can't understand is; Why do those on the right still claim, loudly and shrill-ly, that he's an anti-business "soshulist". Is it pure ignorance, or is it just posturing in the hopes he'll be intimidated into being even more of a corporatist?

8. This guy

is silly putty who has surrounded himself with marketeers. He says one thing one day, then caves in the next day in disguised trickle-down, plutocratic economics where the fat cats get fatter and the rest are left further behind. What a tool. He takes such joy in trying to out-Clinton Clinton and out-Bush Bush, that the GOP and their disastrous field of candidates must be licking their chops hoping he gets another four years (after the next painful 1 1/2 years are up).
Sorry defenders, but you can't blame Congress for all his problems. When the good guys come to him for help so they can do their jobs better, he brushes them off and tells them to go f*** themselves. But what do I know? I'm just another one of those f***ing retards.
