Dear President Obama: Please learn from your mistakes.
Respectfully:

1) Do not ally yourself in any way with homophobes like Rick Warren.

2) If you say something, do something.

3) Listen to Paul Krugman, not Larry Summers. (It may now be too late to fix the mess you could have fixed if you'd listened to Krugman in 2008-2009. But please don't make it worse!)

4) Can bipartisanship.

5) When the people start complaining about your inaction, act.

Respectfully,

Burt Worm

4. 6. Stop saying stupid things that make you and Democrats sound like losers!
If he apologizes or takes blame for one more thing that he should be blaming Republicans for, I'll scream.

11. Saying Obama has made mistakes is heresy enough already
Some of the more 'devoted' Obama supporters heads are exploding about now.

Obama make mistakes? Impossible!

17. Right, which is why even quite reasonable posts or purely factual posts get unrecced by them.

12. How can he not be bipartisan?
Unfortunately the republicans have the house as of January, so if he wants to accomplish anything its gonna have to be bipartisan.

14. How can he be bipartisan when all the repugs can say is NO?
He's done everything in his power and still the refuse to give an inch.

15. this is what bipartisanship should be: ''We're doing X. You can join us if you want.''
''If not, see if the voters like your obstruction or inaction.''

16. Great post, simple and pointed.
I doubt he'll change though.

I guess the question is, will WE ever learn?
