The enemy (repugs, media, corporations) are in full attack mode and will remain so

[T Wolf]

for the entire Obama presidency. That much is a given.

It is much easier to simply attack, as they are doing now, without having to defend their administration's policies as they had to do during the Bush years. The amount, level and intensity of their vitriol will increase no matter what useless appeasement/bipartisan tactics the Democrats try to use.

Democrats were totally ineffective in the "easier" role of opposition, though they really did not oppose too much of George's agenda. What makes people think that they will be any better in the more difficult role of creating and enacting legislation?

The question should be - how to deal with the enemies domestic that the Constitution requires us to defend against.

I do not have much confidence that my party realizes that they are involved in a war in which the enemy is not abiding by any set of rules. President Obama and the other useless Congressional Dems believe they are dealing with a "partner" that will act in an honorable fashion and out of genuine concern for the nation. This naive weakness will doom any attempts they make to reverse the disaster of the last eight (28) years.

How would you handle the battle for America's future?

1. I will remind folks that the TRILLION dollars we need ...

... to throw at domestic policies, is the same TRILLION dollars that BushCo redirected out of the National Treasury to fill the coffers of Halliburton et al over in Iraq ...

2. I think President Obama is making alot of unpopular decisions

(at least from our perspective) to appease the 'right' and avoid what may be the inevitable.
