Obama has done a good job as president. The jobs and tax cut bill saved millions of jobs. The restructing of GM worked...it is now a profitable company. The bank bailout which Bush and Obama both worked on brought stability to the markets, and the vast majority of the money lent to the banks has already been repaid. Healthcare reform was long overdue and made it through Congress in spite of one of the most dishonest campaigns against it by the corporate media and the Republicans. Most of our troops have left Iraq, and our image in the world has been restored. The only thing Obama has done wrong is he has been too soft on the Republicans, the most lying, cheating, stealing, political party that only a corporate lobbyist for Haliburton could love.
He failed to be a Democrat. That's why so many former supporters just didn't bother to vote this election cycle.
In his defence he had help failing to be a Democrat.
He has many Dems in Congress ALSO failing to be Democrats.
The Republicans in Congress, however, mostly succeeded in being what they'd always been...supply sider advocates.
Obama has thus far failed to use his bully pulpit.
He'd have done better, indeed the Dems running for Congress would have done better, too, if they'd stood up to the Rs and rammed stuff down their thoats.
But the Dems didn't because far too many of them are really Republicans-lite.
Exactly why that is is obvious.
It has to do with the way we fund campiagns.
Both parties are beholden to BIG CAPITAL.
