I am not getting on the dems!! Few liberal are. We are only questioning Obama. And it is the independents that are fleeing the Obama ship like rats. The vast majority of the liberals like me are holding fast. All polls show that.
Its unbelievable to me how you don't get what's going on. Obama ratings are holding up much better than the Dems.
And the independents are not deserting Obama because of what any liberals are saying. They are doing it because Obama has made mistakes like going after health care in 09 when he was looking right in the face of a second depression!
And you and the rest of your liberal cohort would have screamed bloody murder. In fact, back then, you told me that when health care passed, Obama's ratings would bounce right up. I told you they wouldn't and they didn't. And the reason you didn't get that right is because you don't have a clue what's going on.
He should have addressed the depression full bore with the best advisers like Volker, Krugman and stiglitz instead of marginalizing them.
For the love of God, he barely got the smaller package through Congress. I watched as Pelosi scrunged to get the necessary votes. I think it failed the first couple of times. How can you not remember?
Besides, the recovery is happening albeit slower than everyone wants. And the truth is no matter how much you juice up a patient with drugs, there is a natural process that needs to be followed. Because the damage was so severe, the natural process is taking much longer than we are accustomed.
People vote their pocket books and when they are worried about jobs nothing else matters. That is a matter of statistical verification which Ezra Kline presented last week. Kline said they can predict is within 2% uncertainty or something like that. A very high correlation.
That's why you sing Obama and the Dems praises from every roof top. This is no time to be an ideologue spouting platitudes about principle as if you are doing God's work. You can't eat principle. The Rs would never have done this to Bush and he was the worst president in 50 years. UGH!
Had Obama addressed the depression right off the bat as his cabinet had advised him, and had Obama listened to Volker, Krugman and stiglitz (who said the stimulus was too small and the rescue of the banks should have been run through main street instead of giving money directly to the banks) instead of those two idiots Summers and Geightner, the dems would not be in the trouble they are in.
OMG, you are nuts. You are the enemy; not the Rs.
What the liberals say or do not say, has nothing at all to do with the desertion of the moderates/independents. Nothing at all.
Yes, it does. They hear your squawking and have to conclude that things must be very bad. You have no clue about human nature. Your nonsense makes me tired. You would cut off your nose to spite your face. Dude, you are not taking me down with you.
Look at the response you got from shortie, benedict. You are playing right into their hands, Mr. Arnold. |
