I don't think any of us can understand the reality of working with the current
Republican leaders and corporate climate until we do ourselves - its brutal and
it can kill you and the amount of energy required is beyond that of the
administration. They are wearing down and need an influx of energy from the
general population who voted as working class Dems.
I think that we are getting what we are asked for and the pain we feel is of
our own making. No politician is able to make good on the promises they make
while campaigning - why even expect this. He is still better than the
alternative. I am completely against "cutting spending" on certain things and
I am completely for "higher and fairer taxes." I think Obama is wearing down
and I suggest the Democratic population march on Washington in the millions and
make their position known.
Do check out The Last Mountain though - it really is good.

"Where is the loyalty?" WHERE IS THE LOYALTY???
Where is *his* loyalty to Democratic principles??
Where is his loyalty to the sick, the poor, and the elderly?
He's advocating cutting Medicaid and Medicare and Social
Security, three of the bedrock concerns of the Democratic
Party.

How can we forget when we're still seeing the very same
pandering?

That's Obama, all right.
Denise, you aren't paying attention to the *substance*
of the left's complaints against Obama. You're just
engaging in mindless cheerleading.
Are you even *aware* that there are many who think
cutting spending to reduce the deficit is the very *last*
thing we should be doing while the economy is still in
such bad shape?
