Reply #: Obama is incapable of drawing a line in the sand and demanding a minimum package. He will always [View All]

[John Q. Citizen]

take whatever they give him and claim it's somehow important.

I think Obama should give billions to the private prison industry, and if a tiny bit of that goes to improve the diet of prisoneers a little bit, he can claim it's reform.

He should triple the defense budget so that the contractors make triple profits, and if 2 percent more goes to vets benefits, he can call it important reform.

He should pass a bill requiring Americans purchase heroin from the Russian mob, because it will help some farmers in Afghanistan, which will help the war effort.

See, the chances to make the criminals rich are endless, as long as a tiny amount can be claimed to do some body some where some good.

And you can champion it when he does. Does he help those Afghan farmers? or does he let the deal go down and wait more years to help the war effort since those farmers aren't making any money?
