President Obama has tried mightily to pacify the Right and has stressed bipartisanship
with the enemy of the people, the GOP, in writing the Health Care Denier reform bill. And please don't try to explain away he has NOTHING to do with this, it's the Congress and Senate, blah blah blah. Bush GOT everything he wanted during his first term as pResident. BUSH threatened to cut the nuts off of any Congresscritter who crossed him (remember what happened to Max Cleland?). BUSH made sure he had the support for his agenda before he even had the legislation written. Or should I say president Cheney.


Why has Obama neglected his base and failed to live up to the agenda he promised? And why has he let the Blue Dogs, Joe LIEberman, and the pharmaceutical industry re-write the legislation?


Where is this Administration going? Is Olympia Snowe going to be the next Queen of the US? Why hasn't Obama threatened to close military bases in more Blue Dog home States? WHY CAN'T HE LEAD AND INCLUDE HIS BASE in the conversation????????

If it wasn't for MY MONEY and the money of MILLIONS like me, he'd be a footnote in history right now. And it's looking like he'll need the money of the Health Denial Industry in 2012 to get re-elected.


I need some pie.......

1. President Obama has only served the CORPORATIONS. It has little to do with Party loyalties. eom

2. His complete lack of leadership through this whole thing is amazing to me.
There's no horse-trading, no heavy leaning, no get-it-done-type work. It's all concede, concede, concede and pacify, pacify, pacify. It's horribly fascinating to watch, like a car wreck.

3. I think Obama truly believes in bipartisanship, and in an ideal world it would be great
but these repuke bastards work against the interests of America and working Americans - there is NOTHING Obama can do to get their approval except enact THEIR IDEAS and he should have figured that out LONG ago

4. He spent SO MUCH TIME trying to win their approval for this bill
he's forgotten about who this bill affects, the little people, the people who elected him, the poor, the homeless, the foreclosed, the single parents, the middle class, all of us who worry about living life from paycheck to paycheck, not these bastards who have never missed a meal in their lives......


I need more pie.....

who will NEVER accept him in a million years - nor would they accept most of his base
