Thanks you for the words. I've thought for some time now that we democrats need to tout what we have done. Unemployment: down's; deficit: down. I'm sure others can come up with a lot more. The President has tried and has had limited success. He has probably given up too much in an attempt to do the right thing. Compromise.
The President has done what he can, but, to me, he has to work with a bunch of idiots.

Our Republican and Democratic leaders are beholden to too many corporate interests. Many Republicans espouse beware of big government. Our problem is not big government, but big business. Corporations.
