I don't think he is a dictator at all. How do you get that out of what I post? It is quite the opposite he is the moderate/middle guy trying to get everyone to live together in peace and harmony.

I thought I made that very clear; but what I am also saying that approach will not get the job done. And he had control of both houses of congress when he took over as president.

If he doesn't state reigning in the plutocrats who will

Do you really think he did not have the POWER to prosecute the Wall street and other criminals he has let go? Explain that one?

I am talking about his administration and nothing else. His job is very much like my jobs were with the state. I dealt with all the things he dealt with. And I know exactly how a state government runs at the top and the presidency is the same thing.

It has become common knowledge he has given in too much to the right wing. He has said so.

Do you deny he went from an outside game to an inside game?

Do you not understand how appointing guys like Stiglitz, Krugman, Howard Dean and Westly Clark would have changed the dynamics a lot.

And do you really think he had no power over the 1% getting 95% of all the wealth in the last five years.

He could have made good mortgages available to the middle class and didn't do it.

And the reason he had to tell the liberals to quit whining was because he was playing patsy cake with the pubs and didn't want the libs to butt in. And after all they did for him!

PS and it was the Congressional Black Caucus in 2011 that took him to the woodshed after he blinked on the debt ceiling and the budget. Did they do that for no reason?

These are just my opinions based on what I think I have figured out.
