Not Obama. That is wrong!

And Obama has come down "firmly" on the side of corporations? Really? I don't think so.

Obama was the cause of the worst job loss since the Herbert Hoover administration? Wrong!! We began losing upwards of 750,000 jobs every month before Obama was inauguration. Admittedly he has not brought the unemployment down and hasn't created enough jobs. But it is absolutely outrageous to blame the administration for ALL of this country's employment problems.

If you're unhappy with Obama, you need to direct at least half of the blame to the Republicans in the Senate and Blue Dog Democrats who didn't push for more comprehensive Wall Street reforms.

To blame all of our countries legislative ills on one man is not only ridiculous, it's on the wrong side of history and woefully disrespects how our U.S. Constitution works.

While I agree with the 7 moral principles to which progressives subscribe, I think this thread is full of misinformation and lacks an acknowledgement of the current political landscape.

You are incredibly naive.
