The problem is not Obama. The problem is people like you and me. When two Democratic Senators voted along with the Republicans against Obama's jobs bill, where are the Democrats doing what the Republicans have done to heir incumbent who advocated working with the opposition. They were challenged in their primaries and they lost the primaries.

And what do we do. We blame Obama. The onus is on us to ensure that we hold these two Senators accountable for voting with the Republicans. It is the same with the healthcare reforms. I am sure you are aware that close to 30 Democrats in the last House voted against the final passage of the bill. It managed to scrape through the House. Are you and I and others holding those 30 or so Democrats accountable for their vote before rushing to blame Obama for giving away a lot to the Repubs?

Today he used his powers to pass the college loan relief bill. I already hear criticism that these will benefit those who took out loans some 10 years ago and not those who tool them some 4 years or less. Isn't something better than nothing. Don't you want to give relief to those who have had a longer period to repay than those who just took them out.

So we need to stop this crap my friend. You seem to have fallen into t he trap of the right wing propaganda. koan was in your boat earlier. And I am sure he soon realized what the alternative is and he quickly turned around and said that the gains we have acquired with Obama in office, however little, cannot be lost with a Romney or Perry or Cain. do you really want to go back to the Bush days is what you need to answer first before raising a accusing finger on O. We all recognize he is not where we expected him to be. But we are happy that he is where he is and is not at where we do not want him be which is to the extreme right.

But hey, continue with your contrarian view and provide the spice to this thread along with folks like tonto, steve harris etc. It is being done in a dignified way, and that is all that matters to me is that the attacks are not personal. Notice though that it is OK to be angry at our electeds including Obama because they have volunteered to be in our line of fire.
