Liberal Dems are going to lose big time if they don't get off their high horses and don't stop trashing Obama yes, they are. but they have nothing really to lose. they have their money, their houses, their freedom, their top-dog place. what happens to others is less meaningful than crushing the competition, it seems. and I think it is more "liberal white males". women know what they have to lose. and it is a lot. to make an anology... I think the current white liberal male base would prefer Malcom X to Martin Luther King. but what are they 'winning'? they want jobs? for who??? they want healthcare. for who??? Obama has gotten us closer to so many things than we have been before. how that is not good enough, I just do not understand. yes, I am more fire to Obama's ice, but I am learning to understand and respect his ice and give it time. tho I would like Rahm gone. just sayin

Obama promisd and open fair governemnt for the people. He is not delivering on that promise. That is why people are pisssed. He threw a lot of people under the bus using your logic i.e. I can do anythign I want as Bush is worse. Let me promise you, I am way to the left of you. The reason people are pissed is because of Obama cutting medicare payments to fund the 30 million uninsured and the 40% tax on unions and other good health care packages instead of just taxing the rich. All people see is more welfare for the health industry at the expense of the middle class. Letting wall street steal our money and then helping them to do it by putting people cozy with Wall street into power and by not even allowing us to see where the 14 trillion went to Wall street. Wall street is making record profits while we endure 20% unemployment. I watched him pander to the large banks makind it almost impossible ot get a home loan, when he needed to do the opposite. And I have Elizabeth Warren and Paul Volker, Stiglitz and Krugman all saying Obama is helping wall street steal our money. Not prosecuting the tortureres. The unwinable Afghanistan war, and listenting to the brain dad military; and not even allowing the imporation of Canadian drugs and not taking insurance companies to task. It is all to much. Each person has there own bitch.
