2. I wish these raids had been done a year ago, or at least before the election!!!
I wish Obama would have aggressively attacked Wall Street crooks long ago. And he could have also pressured Pelosi and Reid to FORCE a vote on the middle class tax cuts BEFORE the election.

Why are democrats so terrified of confronting republicans and revealing them for what they are. It's like democratic leaders are taking ALL of their marching orders from republicans. I don't get it. It's almost as if they want to lose every political battle by not even fighting to start with.

'Bipartisanship', 'compromise' and 'timidity' will be on the tombstone of the current democratic congress and the Obama administration.

"There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why", but the democratic leadership doesn't even ask the question in the first place. Bobby Kennedy wasn't timid or terrified when he followed that first line with, "I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?". Bobby Kennedy would have kicked the asses of every republican who tried to harm the American people. And Bobby would have also kicked the asses of today's democrats who tremble and shake at even the shadow or sight of a republican.

It's sad that in the entire federal government I can count those with courage with the fingers on just one hand. The rest act like clueless, frightened little children.
