This is not the Effing Hope and Change I worked for, donated to and voted for. How many @#!% jobs did the Bush tax cut for the rich create? ZERO. ZILCH. NADA. So why the heck is Bush, I mean Obama extending them for two more years? Are we not supposed to notice the Bush tax cuts are extended for two years, but unemployment insurance is only extended for 13 months? Former President Bill Clinton tried to tell us the Obama story was a fairy tail..of course the media we have twisted it into him playing the @#$ race card taking the focus off of the substance of his remarks.
To say I am disappointed in President Obama for compromising with the gop gangsters is an understatement. Like his Harvard buddy Artur Davis, he has ripped his drawers with me.
After months of breathless speculation 7th district Congress Critter elect Terri Sewell names Nichole Francis Reynolds as her Chief of Staff. I haven't been able to find out much information about Ms. Reynolds but I do know she is a native of Loraine Ohio, she is the former COS for OH-13 Congress Critter Betty Sutton and is a member of the populist caucus.

This coupled with the fact Reynolds was the District Director for former DINO Congress Critter Harold Ford, Jr. doesn't bode well for the voters in the 7th district. And couldn't Sewell have found a qualified individual from her district/state as her COS? Terri Sewell said she wasn't going to be a rubber stamp for President Obama, well here is her chance. She can vote HELL to the NO on the extension of the Bush tax cuts since he doesn't expect rubber stamp fealty in exchange for his endorsement.

During a December taping with PBS's Charlie Rose, a frustrated Clinton called Obama "a roll of the dice," as aides tried to end the interview. Then, in New Hampshire, he argued angrily that the story of Obama's principled position on the Iraq War was a "fairy tale," a charge few reporters bought. Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, the top-ranking African-American in Congress and officially neutral, found Clinton's tone insulting and said so publicly.I don't feel sorry for President Obama, I feel sorry for the American people.
Only fools should feel sorry for Obama as he prepares for a Republican-led House and weakened Democratic control of the Senate. This is Obama’s “comfort zone,” where he can continue to woo Republicans to join his grand center-right coalition. The only people Obama has no tolerance for are liberalish Democrats, who will emerge relatively stronger in the new Congress thanks to the decimation of Obama’s Republican-Lite friends in conservative Democratic ranks. By freezing federal wages, Obama signals that he has no philosophical problems with the GOP’s general aims.
To say I am disappointed in President Obama for compromising with the gop gangsters is an understatement. Like his Harvard buddy Artur Davis, he has ripped his drawers with me.
During the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama said over and over that he was running to "put an end to the Bush-McCain philosophy." Campaigning in Colorado just days before the election, Obama clearly stated his opposition to Bush-era economic policies and ridiculed the idea that "we should give more and more to millionaires and billionaires and hope that it trickles down on everybody else. It’s a philosophy that gives tax breaks to wealthy CEOs and to corporations that ship jobs overseas while hundreds of thousands of jobs are disappearing here at home."

I for one was very worried we would start the new year with gridlock, expired unemployment benefits, across the board tax increases - all because of intransigent Republican ideology, now matched with Democratic gamesmanship.
I admire and support President Obama for, as he has done for the last 2 years, taking what he can get. This Congress can not get Democratic super-majority, and it is about to get worse.
It looks like 4/5 of the Obama deal is progressive, while the Republicans got their tax break for that top 2% and a 10% reduction in inheritance tax. If the majority of the beneficiaries will remember Obama stood for them while the Republicans stood with the tiny minority of the 'rich,' Obama should be way ahead in voter support in 2012.
"O, ye of little faith" out there, buck up - President Obama is doing as good a job as we can expect with the low quality of Democrats he started off with. At least the ones that are left for next year are actually more Left then the ones he started off with.
After all, how hard can it be to outsmart a Republican when you put your mind to it?
yellowdog,
I fear we the people can't fight the th GOP.They're just to big, organized and mean. Of course it helps the Lame Stream Media is part of their organization. After all they pay people to keep the dumb bigots in line.
I love your glass half empty optitmism and your continue HOPE for CHANGE we can all believe in. Keep hope alive. My Hope is the republicans have dug a hole so deep they won't be able to crawl out of it. One of these days, the masses are going to WTFU and realized they've been lied to.
