Obama has a tin ear and is not that great a student of history.

He should have reviewed how the repuke minority treated Bill Clinton in 1993! They were obstructionists and not one voted for his omnibus budget bill of 1993. Doom and gloom they all predicted but we got prosperity. And that was before FAUX news and he was white!

He should also have studied how a selected, illegimate, ignoramus like Bush got everything he wanted WITHOUT super Congressional majorities...

Obama should never have tried to appease a hateful group of people who outspokenly wanted him to fail and many of whom are frankly racists bastards to boot. He should have come in like LBJ or FDR and fought them tooth and nail, pointed out (used that BULLY pulpit) their deficits under Reagan and both Bushes repeatedly, ended both wars, used the money at home and fought for a public option. He should not have peopled his team with the likes of Rahm, Geithner, Summers... Instead like FDR (the "traitor to his class"), O should have turned left and said: "I welcome their hatred" because they know I am cleaning up their mess and I am fighting for the people.

Anyway, I couldn't agree with you more about 2 years pissed away. I have been fighting since Reagan and have no idea how to fight or rebuild it any more when we have such a complicit, corporate owned media and such weak quisling Democrats who don't know how to WIELD power when they have it.
