1. There it is!

[CakeGrrl]

4. Do you dispute it, or do you not consider any of that stuff important? -nt

[rhett o rick]

10. The worse things get and the more frequently those lists are posted.

How do you feel?

1. I feel the president is doing a wonderful job and everything is peachy, or

2. Things are getting a little sticky, but I have "faith" that Pres Obama will fix things, or

3. Things are screwed up and Obama doesnt seem to be able to negotiate worth a damn.

B. I dont care, but since Obama is a Democrat, I will follow him anywhere.

6. Drone attacks, offered cuts to the Big 3, let torturers go free, abandoned unions & public option

betrayed every core Democratic Party principle, and nothing on that stale, contrived list, much of which is owing to Nancy Pelosi. can make up for any of it or for dividing the party so. Epic fail. You want more? I got plenty.

8. wow! I am pissed, but I am not THAT pissed..

28. Chill the fuck out, he's got this motherfucker!

:crazy:

[Skip_In_Boulder]

9. Yeah, I can list things I don't like as well.

But where exactly does that get us and\or the Democratic Party? :shrug:

[Union Scribe]

12. Vs. what? Posting a link?

Where does that get us?

[Skip_In_Boulder]

14. Yes posting a link

Among other things. My question is if we are just going to fight with each other, where does that get us? :shrug:

25. Accountability, that's what it gets Democrats

If nothing else, Democrats should hold each other accountable. That would be one way to distinguish themselves. Without accountability you simply have a less crazy Republican Lite party.

13. The one about the Pell Grant...

That site says he increased funding for it...but

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/14/us-usa-budget-forprofit-idUSTRE71D4K420110214
"Obama to cut individual Pells amid exploding growth"


So something is rotten in the state of praising Barack. At least on that count.

21. Pells grant funding has been INCREASED

Making College More Affordable
http://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/education/higher-education

Also in the new Debt Ceiling bill that was just signed...
Excerpt:
* Includes Funding to Protect the President’s Historic Investment in Pell Grants: Since taking office, the President has increased the maximum Pell award by $819 to a maximum award $5,550, helping over 9 million students pay for college tuition bills. The deal provides specific protection in the discretionary budget to ensure that the there will be sufficient funding for the President’s historic investment in Pell Grants without undermining other critical investments.

"claims the sole power to assassinate American citizens without a whiff of due process"

"hasn't ended Gitmo, after promising to do so on several occasions"

"set up secret CIA black sites in Somalia"

"started a new war in Libya"

"escalated the war in Afghanistan"

"STILL hasn't ended Iraq"

"appointed Republicans like Tim Geithner to important cabinet positions; kept Republicans like Bob Gates from the Bush era"

"sold out to Big Pharma and refused to have drug importation be a part of healthcare reform, just like Bush did with Medicare D"

"sold out to Big Insurance and refused to allow a public option to be considered"

"three words: Bush tax cuts"

"dragged his feet with DADT repeal until a federal court issued an order finally ending it before Obama and Congress would have"

"the war on whistleblowers: see Bradley Manning"
