tejek that is simply not fair and beneath you! That is my thinking, not my ego!!!!!!!!!!!!! You act like I am alone: Three black pundits among the smartest three people on earth are all on my side: Eugene Robinson, Bob Herbert and Charles Blow are saying exactly what I am saying. And it sure isn't their ego!! YOu act as though Obama hs no blind spots or ego. Obama used to like to line up the kids at school his teacher said. That is pleasure of control. Why did you find it necessary to identify them as black? Is it because you think their criticism of Obama has more legitimacy because they are black? Not with me. Its important to note that we all have blind spots. Look...pundits are people presenting their view.....nothing more, nothing less. If they think they can do it better, they need to run for the presidency. He promised us certain things and then has ignored them. that is not OK to do. There's the ego again....he's done some stuff but because its not the stuff YOU wanted, he's fallen short. You are part of a large constituency.....you will not get everything you want when you want it. Its just the way it is. You want more personal attention move to Monaco or Bermuda Why is Obama not pushing the public option? Why does he blow off Stiglitz and recently Volker for ugly Geightner and Summers. How do you know he isn't? The PO bogged down in Congress, not with Obama. We liberals need to let him know he cannot just take us for granted. "you dance with the one who brought you". He is not even helping the minorities, which would satisfy me. Frankly, I don't think he is taking anyone for granted. This country is a mess and virtually unmanageable. He's doing the best he can which IMO is far better than what GW Bush did.
