I harbor no ill will toward Bush, but I can’t think of a single thing that he did well.

you’re spouting respect for W, while trashing Obama – - without even giving him a chance to prove himself. that smacks of hypocrisy. something that is readily available all the way from right to left.

this country’s political system is in need of an overhaul. i don’t think anyone’s up for the job. not w, not Obama, no one. ALL politicians make empty promises to get in office (left, right center; makes no difference) then make it their life’s mission to remain there, NOT to serve their electorate, just to disappear into a morass of bullshit and fly under the radar for 30 years. there are some starry eyed altrustic hero types who really want to do the right thing but at the end of the day the undertow of dishonesty drags them under too.

it’s a fucking joke.

the only benefit is that we get to write crap like this and get away with it.

the divide between rich and poor gets bigger and the ever shrinking middle class bear a heavier burden year over year. the culture of “ME” becomes stronger and the mores that founded this country slip further off the radar.

Of course he still needs the far left in his party. The moderates and centrists are not in enough numbers in the Democrat party to withstand the assault from a very aggressive leftist wing of that party.
He may not need them in as much as he needs to keep them placated. I think that’s what the whole Club Gitmo thing was about. His XO basically affirms that. It basically states that they will not be a bunch of Bush meanies…but if they have to they maintain that right.
I think Obama is somewhere in between the liberal ideologue crusader and typical Cook County pol. He has actually shown both of those faces. That is a tough person to beat because once you corner the liberal crusader, the pragmatist pops out of nowhere and gets him out of that scrape by saying whatever needs to be said to save his bacon.
In any regard….for the last 8 years we have been told dissent is the highest form of patriotism and I plan on keeping that rule in play.

I have been thinking about that, He helped pour $150 million from the Chicago Annedburg challenge into the pockets of political activists, not one red cent was spent on programs to improve academic performance,

He worked to pour another $150 million into the pockets of his construction/racketeer buddies and the construction was so shoddy the buildings are unlivable.

Is he a starry eyed Liberal Ideologue?

Or did he just say and do what needed to be said and done where he was to amass political power?

“Do not listen to his centrist talk…look at his liberal voting record and how he never bucked his party”

He may not need the far left wing of his party anymore he use needs the moderate centrist voters for a second term.

Maybe he is just a pragmatic Crooked Cook County politician?

I can deal with that better than a crusader

Winston Churchill

Fight the sumbitch..fight him with words and with letters to MSM and letters to congress people who act like the actually believe in what the constitution stands for. And when the time comes fight the sumbitch on the streets…and I fear that time is coming…especially if he is successful

No. Not ironic. F*cking sad and sickening.
