If my ex had loved me as much as you love Obama, I'd still be married. I doubt it. You're better off in the woods by yourself. ;-) And love has nothing to do with it........Obama took on an impossible job. You and your cohort resufse to see that and instead want desperately to treat this as business as usual and blame him when things go wrong. THIS IS NOT BUSINESS AS USUAL. We are a troubled nation that gets more troubled by the day. The level of dysfunction in DC is breath taking and it reflects at where the country is whether Americans want to recognize it or not. They have to stop blaming DC, Congress and Obama and start blaming themselves. We, the people, are the cause of the dysfunction in DC. My cousin, an R, and I barely talk.......and when we do, we steer clear away from politics. He also doesn't talk to his father about politics either. BTW his father is a professor of political science........at one time, political discussions were very common in the family. We are all smart, reasonable people.......but no longer when it comes to politics and ideology. Stop thinking you have seen this all before because you haven't. The schisms that divide us are real and growing larger. This is very similar to the years leading up to the civil war and its very disturbing. We have been coming to this place for a long time and now that its partially out in the open people don't want to discuss it. So stop trying to put this in a neat little box.........like........Obama isn't liberal enough or he doesn't care if he sells out poor, hard working progressives. Obama is just as good a liberal as anyone......but he has a bigger task in front of him than just being a good liberal. That's something you refuse to see.
