Obama isn't the problem any more than any other a$$hole politician is. The problem is that one party controls two branches of government. It's the problem now and it was the problem during most of the Bush administration. The people's intellectual ability seems to be limited to "I'm not happy so I'm voting the incumbent out", but that should be enough to temporarily fix the problem next fall.

It's that, with one or two exceptions, they collectively offer a microcosm of what the Democratic Party has come to stand for in the 21st century. Virtually all of the Rubinites brought in to manage the economy under Obama share the same fundamental political philosophy carefully articulated for years by the Hamilton Project: Expand the safety net to protect the poor, but let Wall Street do whatever it wants. "Bob Rubin, these guys, they're classic limousine liberals," says David Sirota, a former Democratic strategist. "These are basically people who have made shitloads of money in the speculative economy, but they want to call themselves good Democrats because they're willing to give a little more to the poor.
