It's going to take the economy to go bust and toss a huge majority of people out of work, including those on the right, before they start feeling the pain and humility of being unemployed without any prospects for work and start to listen to reason. Once they've been reduced to the level of poverty brought on by their refusal to compromise for the common good of all, only then can we work together to rebuild the economy.

You have more faith in them than I. I'm pretty sure that should that come to pass, they'll just blame Obama and move further to the right. When that fails, they'll be certain that the problem was that they hadn't moved far enough to the right. Rinse and repeat. No, there are certain people that we will not reach. I realize we agree on that already, so I suppose the difference in opinion might be on how the people we can reach will be reached.

One can't be educated if one does not believe the source to be true. Many tea-baggers are victims of the kool-aid they've been serve and will only trust specific sources. They have to hear it from their reliable sources before they'll breakdown the mental barriers they've erected to keep out the liberal bias they so despise.

What you all wanted was a democrat decider. Instead, you got a ditherer who only stands for getting re-elected. Hate me all you want but I danced with the ones who brung me.

Barack Obama had a huge mandate behind him to capture the mission he was elected to do. I hate to say this, but George Bush (if he had the same backing and philosophy) would have pushed a progressive, and economically stimulative program through, and would have challenged anyone who disagreed as a non-patriot (and he would have gotten away with it0.

I'm not saying Dubys was good, but I am saying that sometimes it takes determination and a "knock this chip off my shoulder" attitude to get things done. Obama's political capital was squandered in his misguided efforts to convince republicans that the goal was to "govern." I don't know where we can go from here.

Eric, you are a good man and you give others, especially Obama the benefit of the doubt but at long last you need to face the reality that the candidate Obama was only a marketing device and that the reason Obama has let the Republicans run the country since he was elected, why he has protected their war criminals, allowed the tax cuts for the rich to be extended and all that is because he is in fundamental agreement with them. He goes along with budget cuts and cutting social security and medicare because he believes as they do that funds for the elderly and sick need to be used to fuel the imperial wars against the Islamic world that he has so dishonorably embraced. You've been more than fair to the guy, but it's time to face the fact that he's been lying all along because he's not a great leader or even an exceptional man. He's just another lying politician. The unique quality about him is that his fraudulent claims of being a Democrat have been skillfully used to dismantle the very foundation of progress and stability in this country: the New Deal policies that kept America prosperous for 70 plus years.

He lied to us Eric and he's still lying to us. I found his "we'll do better next time" video excuse offensive. Didn't you? That's what he says every time. And as long as we keep swallowing the snake oil he's selling, he's gonna keep on servin it up to us. It's time to stop buying the snake oil. I wish it were otherwise and I know you do, but as bitter a pill as it is, it's time to do to Obama what he has done to all of us and that is to turn our backs on him and look elsewhere for leadership because it is crystal clear he will never come through for us and has no intention of doing so.

Well put Watree, the FAA

In reply to Rich, I'm very disappointed

Well put Watree, the FAA defunding is a case in point. The GOP is letting the FAA lose $1` billion in funding to make a $16 million partisan political kick in the groin against Reid, and Obama CANNOT think of some way to fiscally and in their districts screw the Republicans involved with this??? He is the President for chrissakes!

Obama must learn to play hardball or hit below the belt on these gangsters of the GOP, or he must get someone on his staff or in the Democratic Party to do it for him.

In reply to Rich, I'm very disappointed

We did not vote for "Chamberlain the appeaser" for president

We voted for someone who was going to deliver the decisive blow to the previous republican administrations.

Reaganomics would be vanquished once and for all. CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN

Thats all I got left in my pocket, some Change you know full well this is what will be brought up in the election.

As an aside;who sold us Cash for clunkers?

Instead we got General McClellan/ Chamberlain. Boy were we ever stupid.

But those of us embarrassed by this poseur wont be stupid again.

The battles dint make him wiser, the republicans have handed him and us our behinds.

Obama better be like LBJ; announce he will not run for re-election.

Time is running out and maybe that is the plan? The democrats will have another crisis moment, "WE CAN'T CHANGE GENERALS NOW"

IMHO Obama will barely carry the Democrats, but I cant see independents voting in great numbers for him.

Obama served the wrong base, get his votes from those he tried to kiss up to.

Lets see how he likes getting it from them, the way he did Us?

But don't shed a tear for Obama, he can go back to being the leader of the Harvard Law Review.

Maybe his friends in Chicago can get him a job with Rahm or maybe the Daley machine can pull some strings. maybe he can get a lobbyist job promoting imports, of cheap foreign goods into America.

What a pity, many thought he had a spine, were we ever fooled. Talks good though.

Talks the talk but can't walk the walk?.

Sorry, I cant back this Presidential nominee, I've had it with capitalist shills.

I want whole grain bread not white enriched cake, ones better for my health.

This Presidents diet plan sucks. Another flash in the pan

CVille,

That's exactly why his soaring might work against him during the campaign. Instead of serving to inspire people it's going to anger them because it's going to remind them of how they were bamboozled in the last election.

In reply to Corporatize--kind of a neat

Rich,

I'm very disappointed with Obama, but I'm going to vote for his re-election because it's too late for anyone else to step up to the plate at this point. So as I see it, we have a choice - we can either re-elect him, or turn the country over to the fascists.

But what I would like to see is other Democrats step up to the plate and pressure him to be more aggressive with the GOP. If he fails to do so, they should do it in his place, and make it clear that if he continue to compromise that they're going to leave him hanging out there by himself.

I would also like to see another ambitious Democrat step up to the plate and respond to the GOP in Obama's place. He could say all of the things that Obama should be saying. If I've judged Obama correctly, that would be a blow to his ego, and it just might wake him up if he had to share the spotlight.
