who is much more eloquent then I am. By the way, I've been a regular poster here for years, and
during the primary I posted CANDIDATE Obama news thread EVERY DAY.

He DID NOT fight for the public option, transparency in health care meetings was not allowed,
nurses and doctors were arrested for trying to speak up in those meetings.

He increased the wars. YES he did.

He had a majority in 2008 and in 2010 we lost the majority in congress and
also in many state legislatures, including my state's.

I hope that President Obama will now start ending the wars, but we'll see.

He is a leader, he can get the podium and actually speak out if he chooses.
Like he did when he was campaigning, except do it while in office.

6. Are you hoping to have your post read on the Limbaugh hour tomorrow?
Lots of threads in the archive about how the Republican blocked the closing of Gitmo

Lots of threads in the archive about how Joe Liebermann killed the public option

Lots of threads in the archive on schedule for drawing down troops.

20. Very few threads about
How Obama stood in front of the nation and expressed how important it was for a public option and that we were not simply FORCED to hand over money to a corporation to decide our health care NEEDS.

Few threads about how Obama stood up against big insurance or big pharma to deliver HCR that Americans really need!

Few threads pointing out how Obama addressed the nation expressing how GITMO fuels terrorism and must be shut down now.

Few threads where Obama has addressed the nation and expressed how continuing the wars in the ME not only harm Americans, but further disrupt the ME and.....

It's ok, I read you loud and clear.

19. Mira, I love you, but if this is not for tonight then when is it for? The mission was to find UBL
and we did. Mission accomplished! This is exactly the time we need to talk about this, lest we have another decade of "accomplished" missions and continual wars.

8. I know, fuck, he's been sitting on his ass all this time...
Edited on Mon May-02-11 12:22 AM by liberalmuse
what the hell??? :sarcasm: I am ready to believe this shit is racism. If a white man did as much as Obama given 4 times the amount time he'd be a fucking hero to the left. He can do no right and get no credit from some. It's really quite sad. He's a HUMAN BEING, not fucking Superman. God, I wish the assholes hadn't risen from the grave tonight.

9. No, he won't do those things. But occasionally he'll joke about those things.
And he will be charming when he does it.

12. Won't Congress have something to say about a couple of those things?
I mean, he's not a fuckin' dictator. What would you have him do about a "public option" & "closing Gitmo"? :shrug:
