Michael Moore: Obama first term ‘heartbreaking’ 
Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore told BBC’s Richard Bacon that most of President Barack Obama’s first term had been “heartbreaking” and a “disappointment.”

“He did not come into office like I hoped that he would,” Moore admitted. “To to do what Franklin Roosevelt did in his first few months, where he came in and said, ‘You know, I’m in charge. This is the way we’re doing things. If you don’t like it, throw me out of office.’”

Moore lamented that Obama had spent too much time trying to appease Republicans.


“He spent three years — if we can just go back to the sports analogies — running the ball in the wrong direction,” Moore said. “Now, we are in the last quarter of his first term and he’s actually come alive. He’s actually now standing up and his Justice Department is going after some of the banks. He’s trying to stop a big corporate merger. And he’s putting forth jobs bills that make sense now. I don’t know why he waited until the last year of these four years to do that, but it is somewhat heartening now to see that he’s come around. And let’s hope that he can pull it off.”

Oh it's a real squabble alright, only I don't know what they're saying, it sounds like a wasp nest.  DefendandProtect chimes in with the usual un-understandable BS.  The whole thing goes nowhere.

Hell done froze over, I agree with the land whale.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Was I asleep when 0 spent all that time trying to appease Republicans?
“Don’t vote for the person who tells you you deserve something. Just don’t do it if it’s something other than life, liberty, or the pursuit of possible happiness. If everyone is telling you you deserve something, vote for the one who is promising you the least. Be suspicious of the man or woman who tell you deserve everything. Because you don’t.” ---Mike Rowe

I say we all get together when MM dies and mourn him.  First keg is on me.
