What a party tool. Bet youre still driving around with your O. bumper sticker on your car almost a year later. - - - Your guy is doing the same thing the Reps did. Your guy has broken so many promises he made during the election campaign that its mind numbing. Your guy has brought in the same Wall Street interests that the other guy had in there, and Goldman Sachs was one of his top campaign contributors. (Do you even know what the current Treas Sec was doing during the crash - - when the Bush admin was in office ? Do you even know who Larry Summers is and what Clinton signed into law to help cause all these financial abuses that you babble about ?)
Exactly!!! Total party tool. Let's see what this moron says after the 2010 Congressional elections. The Republicans are going to make huge gains, which will make Obama powerless to get anything passed. This is why he's rushing to pass everything now, because come Jan. 2011, he's won't be able to pass a turd. lol

Well I'm not too happy with the Reps who now seem to talk all about fiscal responsibility, when they went right along with massive spending under Bush. They were continually trying to out liberal the liberals - (remember the 'drug benefit' program that most seniors didnt even want because they were concerned about what it would do long term financially to their children and grandchildren ? Remember who was pushing amnesty type programs for illegal aliens ? How about secret and particularly evil provisions in the Patriot Act ?)
O. has got the Dem party locked up. The math isnt too good for a third party winning at this time; IMO things would have to get so bad in the country that enough Dems, Reps, and indendents would have to get together to make that work. Seems like a very long shot right now given the country is split right down the middle. Seems to me the best shot is for libertarian/Constitution supporters to take control of the Rep party from the neo-con types. Basing their platform on the foundations of the country - protecting personal liberties, protecting private property rights - since if you don't control the product of your own labors - you don't control your own life, - - - and minding our own damned business would galvanize the base, draw in lots of independents, and plenty of the more traditional Dems from the south, and many of the working class guys who weren't in one of the big favored unions. Republican Ron Paul would be a good candidate for this effort. He is getting up there in age though. I like some of the things I've heard from Dem Alan Grayson from FL on the Federal Reserve. (He happens to be a self made millionaire entrepreneur who did it the old fashioned way - - by earning it rather than stealing it. He also had worked as an economist. He was the guy who called the lobbyist who used to work for Enron and was fighting the Fed audit bill, a "K Street whore". I like the man's frankness, (he did apologize afterwards for his choice of words. ) Need to look at some of his other postions. But he and Ron Paul (Rep of course) have been working together to pass a Fed audit bill and thats great for the country. Its way too premature, but a Paul/Grayson ticket might be very interesting.- - -
