Barack Obama is trying to unite this country
As much as we all bitch about his decisions, I know that is what he is trying to do. People who attempt to find common ground end up getting crap from all sides. Nobody likes the middle man. He is like the HR rep who has to balance the corporate will with the workers needs/rights. Tough spot to be in and I give him loads of credit for taking on the job!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x9367013Wow he is doing this so brilliantly too. Only problem is he is uniting us against him.

Since he took office he has done nothing but bad mouth us on the right.
Has pretty much told us to sit down and shut up.
Has said we aren't smart enough to see the good deeds he has done.
I don't recall a president ever going around after getting legislation passed (Health care) and saying pretty much "In your face".

1. In an ideal world, that would be great. But we have to look at reality.
I'd rather the President take the lead to improve the daily lives of most Americans period. If bipartisanship and unity isn't possible, so be it. We don't have to all be unified to pass good legislation. We just need a solid majority.
When you look at reality, you find that liberalism does not work.
Look at France they are dependent on the govt for everything and they riot in the streets because they may have to work an additional 2 years before they retire. When you depend on someone else for everything you are at their mercy.

93. Give a little? This has become a party that Ronald Reagan could REJOIN
and you want us to keep GIVING?
How delusional does one have to be to believe that Reagan would have anything in common with the clowns in the democrat party?
Further down the thread it turns into a gay rights battle.
