117. I don't think it was a failure, unless you think he is on the side
the people.

He has demonstrated whose side he is on over and over again. Teachers, eg, he is definitely not on their side.

So, since his heart wouldn't be in it, and any speech he gave would be about how 'both sides have to compromize' etc. he would not be helpful to the people at all. We do NOT need another 'both sides are wrong' speech, or any speech that includes the words 'bi-partisanship' or 'compromise'. And that's what we would get from him, because when it is clear that the side he is NOT on is right, he 'compromises' by blaming both sides.

We need people who are actually on the side of the people to participate in what is now becoming a growing movement against the Corporate takeover of this country.

If you think this president would ever take a stand against Corporate America, I have to disagree with you.
