I try to piece together the pieces of the puzzle, but it is complex. i disagree, it's not complex, it's plain as day. obama took power, had the country behind him, and had a democratic congress. he talked up a good fight when campaigning, but he hasn't engaged the opposition at any time over any really important issue, and won. i knew he was bought (not what i wanted to see), when he kept summers and geithner and bernanke as his advisors, the very people who caused the financial disaster that still hasn't finished playing out. what could he have been thinking? and they are STILL there! then, when rham emanuel left, he hired a former jp morgan executive to serve as his chief of staff. there has been no real change. obama surrounds himself with people who do not serve our best interests. and i haven't even mentioned the patriot act or health care or so many other disappointments. actions count, talk's cheap.
