i've liked David Sirota since Al's AAR.

2. Obama has the American disease: he wants everyone to like him.

At least as many people as possible.

3. Unfortunately I think that's right. He really needs to be more

like Roosevelt and say this is the right thing for America and if you hate me because I want to do what's right, I welcome it!

4. By the response on DU since the passage of the bill

...he has succeeded in doing just that.

The right hates him and the left hates him.

Mission accomplished!

5. He is making his supporters mad by not making his non-supporters mad...

and it is driving some of us mad!

6. Well then, Obama is very successful.....

cause everyone is fucking mad at him.
In fact, last I checked, it is very "IN" right now,
to have nothing but bad things to say about the man,
to belittle him, act as though one is automatically smarter than him just by being born with a mouth,
and underestimate the cards that he's been dealt,
and what he has accomplished to date,
and believe that he could get everything done if only he would portray the angry Black man
and come out and whoop some ass big time.

Yeah, I know, I know....Sirota is really, really smart and sucessful, and has really
made changes that Americans from all walk of lives can feel.....NOT.

7. I think he's right, but they're already foaming over NOTHING.

What will they do when he really does bring change?
