Reply #48: What year was that? It was probably after I'd already abandoned any "faith" I had in WJC [View All]

...and yes, I'd read he signed, but it's among those things I've forgotten. WJC was a major disappointment in many ways, though yes, we were still slighly better off under a D than under an R -he's a great example of throwing a few scraps and bones for to keep the serfs from getting too restless.

As for this latest, I am not nearly as outraged at Obama as I am the Ds sitting right now in the House - if they want a Dem POTUS, they need to take the front line on issues that can be used to harm his campaign, then provide cover for him with a concerted front on the airways and talking head shows and in their Town Halls. He can then take the high road about no one - not even giant corporations - being above the law, and promising the best National Security teams/programs/blah blah whatever....goddess knows, there's enough on that front to blast the illegitimate Junta in power, what with most of the populace thinking President Codpiece is the worst ever.

(on edit, for clarity, I hope) I mean, what's he going to do, knowing - as I'm sure they all did - how everyone was going to vote - stand out there ahead of his Party and open himself to attack without any back-up, while the Congress-Critters CYAs?

And I agree with your last sentence.
