Give the man a break. He has only been in office for less than a month and you want to have him replaced. That is the difference between Liberals and Obstructionists..... Liberals want the USA to suceed not put all the money into the pockets of the wealthy.

thats right.

they want to take the money away from those who have earned it and give it freely to those who have not.

i have had it with this left or right, liberal or "obstructionust", democrat or republican bullsh*t

its just another "us vs. them" mentality... and my friends nothing is more dangerous in a bipartisan democracy than to host the "us vs. them" attitude.

once you are consumed with the "us vs. them" crap - ITS GAME OVER.

If Yobama was HALF the leader he claims to be he would have done one thing and one thing only when it came time to sign that stimulus bill... he should have said...

"SORRY CONGRESS. IM NOT SIGNING THIS VERSION... BECAUSE ITS NOT WHAT WE ALL AGREED ON... GO TRY IT AGAIN UNTIL YOU DRAFT SOMETHING YOU CAN ALL AGREE ON, AND DONT COME BACK UNTIL YOU GET IT RIGHT"

folks can blame the president all they want to but in the end the ball is in the hands of Congress.

every time i think of congress of late im reminded of a very special quote.

"...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government"

whether your left or right or center - you can ignore it, or agree or disagree, but America is fast approaching a revolution and Washington has no clue its coming.

it might not happen this year or next... but at this rate I personally would not be surprised to see Washington DC burned to the ground in my life time.
