He talked a good game during the campaign, but hasn't figured out he needs to work with his supporters not the opposition. <br /><br />Not only has he been showing all his cards, he hasn't played all the cards he was dealt.Kulkurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198195648066700925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290163255778893789.post-27453240110445876022010-12-08T11:01:49.996-05:002010-12-08T11:01:49.996-05:00The disaster here is that Obama gave the Republica...The disaster here is that Obama gave the Republicans the tax cuts in exchange for unemployment benefits... but got 1 year of unemployment benefits for 2 years of tax cuts. What are the odds that a Republican House is going to vote to extend unemployment benefits again 1 year from now? It's as if Obama offered to give the Rethugs $2 if they gave him $1... how is that a fair deal anywhere on this planet?!<br /><br />I'm feeling rather down. Maybe it's just the holidays. I think I want to go camping in the desert for a week or two away from this lunacy, it's either that or ingest enough alcohol to make my liver scream, which is hardly the solution (alcohol is a depressant after all).

You are 100% correct, there is NO ONE speaking for the American people right now. I feel like we are in an upside down world: the tax cuts for everyone BUT millionaires passes with 53 votes yet that's a fail. How is that possible? How is a majority a minority? I don't freaking get it.Litzz11@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843479112124843471noreply@blogger.com
