I'm not sure anyone could've done better with that Senate, especially with Reid holding the reins.
Obama did his best as a compromise-oriented moderate, I can't really hold it against him that things are only going okay.
My Rock Band drums were being stored down there. :?
At least the drums themselves probably still work and I'll only have to buy a new pedal.
Republicans may succeed in turning the tide against him but they should be utterly ashamed of what they've done.
This is a surefire way to become paranoid.
:winky:
I'm holding it against the Republicans that compromise is apparently for sissies.
Not sure if you're serious or not.
But when one party controls the executive branch and the other party controls the legislative branch, the two parties need to work together to get anything done. Spitzer can try bullying as much as he wants, but that's not going to make the GOP controlled New York State Senate pass a bunch of Democrat bills.
Bush pretty much did what he set out to do on many, many fronts
so did a lot of people that history generally regards as horrors and failures
Obama came in riding the Hope train on a wave of promises and smiles and has thus far done so very, very little in comparison to the "political capital" he was given
The pedal is a single mechanical switch with no other components. Odds are it'll be fine once it dries out.
Stop death panels (tm)?
Paranoids are not paranoid because they're paranoid, but because they keep putting themselves, fucking idiots, deliberately into paranoid situations.
Yeah seriously wtf is this?
"Ma'am? Your purse fell out of your wallet."
"Stop hitting on me!"
"What? But I'm gay."
"I'm using my mace if you don't stop harassing me!"
His persuasion skill is maxed out is what I'm saying
And basketball!
probably would've turned out to be the same brand of corporate shill as everyone else with less convincing rhetoric
on the upside, people wouldn't ooh and aah over shirtless photographs of her
He wasn't really given much, tbh.
GILF
Huzzah!
Hitler was a pretty big disappointment. They didn't get anywhere near a thousand year empire.
Germany absolutely loved Hitler when he was in office. But how much do they love him now?
That said, it really wasn't at all serious.
I don't understand it.
At all
Like, you people are not actually opposed to the shit he is doing.
Why the hell are you mad at him?
But he didn't squander anything, politically.
this is america
these are our countrymen
I HATE THE PRESIDENT AM I COOL YET?
Because he can't actually control congress and tell them what to do or tell the Republicans to stop filibustering. I don't know why that is surprising. He isn't the emperor.
so if the president doesn't do anything then all the vitriol for Bush is sort of unfair too huh?
Yep.
The idea isn't that he's doing bad shit, it's more that he's not doing enough good shit. He campaigned promising that America would turn into this glorious paradise as soon as he got sworn in, but that didn't happen.
I think that the people who actually believed him during his campaign were pretty naive. But that doesn't make it any less disappointing. I would rather have a president that delivers on reasonable promises than one who makes huge promises of massive reforms and doesn't deliver, even if they have the same result.
And the problem I have with Obama is that he treats this like theatre. Like he can manipulate everything with his words and things will just fall into place like they did during his campaign. He's too interested in compromise with the Republicans and he or anyone else in the Democratic party have no teeth.
Oh, I want to strangle a few senators.
Obama is not one of them anymore so...
o_O
I thought you were like, cool
