When I look at Obama, I see a man who is trying very hard to do right by the people
Unlike the last guy, who allowed his sociopathic vice president to take over for the first 4 years, and then revealed his incompetence in the next, Obama has been trying to do the best he can with the bad situation he is faced with.
The fact is a president is not a king. And unlike other countries where parliamentary systems allow the government in power to make changes much more easily, Obama needs to work with this broken American system which involves a corrupt, gerrymandered, bought and paid for congress; a gridlocked, dysfunctional Senate; a propaganda network owned by the wealthy known as the mainstream media; outright election fraud, and a dumbed down, uninterested, uneducated population that's too busy trying to survive in the ruined Reagan economy than to pay any attention to politicians who they've long lost any faith in doing what's in their best interests.
Obama can't just snap his fingers and say "On this day forward, every man, woman and child shall have free, universal, single payer health care". He can't just raise taxes on the 1%. He can't just end the wars instantly or get money out of the military and back into education.
He has to deal with congress. A majority of them in the house are Republicans. A good chunk of the Democrats are Democrats in name only. They're elected by an ignorant population, brainwashed by the media, disenfranchised at the ballot box, in gerrymandered districts. He has to deal with the Senate, the vast majority of them more corrupt than an ancient Roman senator at the height of the barbarian invasions.
He has to deal with the supreme court, one justice away from having a majority conservative slant.
In short, Obama has been forced to take on this middle of the road, work together, kumbaya deal that we've all been seeing for the last 3 years. His only recourse when it doesn't work being to hopefully pin the blame on the corrupt halls of congress and get some actual decent people elected in the next cycle, despite all the gerrymandering, election fraud, and propaganda. To get people like him, working with him, who go into politics because they actually CARE about doing what's right for the common man, instead of lining their pockets.
No, I can't say I blame Obama for some of the decisions he's been forced to make. I can only hope that people wake up and take back their country. Occupy Wall Street is a good start. But make no mistake, it's just a start. There's a long, long way to go.
Huge bonfire. This DUmmie only has 34 posts.... :popcorn:

And whom may we blame for all this?

Man, I like to know what planet this guy is from, or what drugs he's taking.
Talk about "altered reality"... :mental:

When you find that planet, stay in orbit and nuke the Hell out of it. It'll be the only way to make sure that it doesn't continue to spread its' brand of crazy across the galaxy, and alien worlds will revere you.

When I look at 0bama I see what affirmative action has done to a formerly prosperous country.

Newbie is trying too hard, if it's a mole. Only a truly dedicated mindless slave could keep up that level of Democart adoration for 1,000 posts.
