Much of our anger at Obama is due to Teafreak bearing of false witness.
When Obama wanted to do stimulus, they SCREAMED socialist. When Obama saved the Auto industry, instead of cutting us a good deal, he was hands off, so as not to seem SOCIALIST. When Obama wanted to implement financial reform, you guessed it, Dictator. When he wanted to let Bush tax cuts for the rich expire, communist. Jobs program? Keynesian Kommie.

How could it have been different? What was, and IS needed, is ANGRY, HOSTILE confrontation. That is not Obama's duty, IT IS OURS. WE let the country down. And until we march en masse, with fists pumped, telling the idiots to pipe down, or else, we will continue to suffer.

Many here are mad as hell at Obama for not doing our job for us. And yet, as always, it is WE that must create the political cover to do as we would decide. Hoping for champions, is bound to fail.


Think about it. Would FDR have been as bully, had there not been the disquiet, caused by the teafreak of the time, Hoover? I don't believe so. The Hoover misery, functioned like what I desire us to do. Shoving Obama left. Should he do it on his own, he would DESERVE to be ousted. And we would be branded as over reaching, for a decade. Why do we somewhat let the Republicans, or at least Boehner some slack? They have the teaidiots as political cover.

If we don't step up, and provide that soon, it is on OUR heads. I'm sure many will take this personally, but all I want is to slam fools, and do right by my country.

Our numbers, our superior intellect, educations, ideas and compassion for our population would make this process short, and relatively painless. I hope we mature into CITIZENS.

Lets Roll.

1. I think it is about his piss poor approach to policy...
Actually, Huey Long was more of a thorn in FDR's side, until he was assassinated.

4. Huely Long was a real liberal.
But the real left has never done well in this country. Two centuries of propaganda have left its mark.

5. I presume the unreccs mean that Obama must act as benevolent dictator, in our stead.

Hey, we voted, thats plenty. I guess he should be the flip side of Bush. Do as he pleases. Then, you would praise him.

7. No its not.
Are the tea party people crazy? Yes. But that's no excuse for striking deals in their favor.
