<<Damn it, koan.........your romanticizing of liberalism and the Dems is getting old. The Rs control Congress.........both the Senate and the House. They have the biggest House majority in 84 years. And they control 24 state houses in this country; the Dems 10.......16 are divided:>> Romanticizing? Were we romanticizing Teddy Roosevelt? Was FDR romanticizing? JFK and Bobby Kennedy? I said when Obama was elected the dems controlled both the house and the senate and Obama had a huge army and the country behind him That was the time to take the fight to the Republicans! But he chose to disband the army of liberals (so they would not nip at his heels as he turned right, IMO) and he distanced himself from the democratic party not really wanting to be associated with us. Both Richard Wolff and Chuck Todd point this out. I am on my forth book on Obama trying to understand the guy. I have read one by Michaels Lewis, Chuck todd and on my second by Wolffe. They all say the same thing about Obama, so I am guessing they know what they are talking about and speaking the truth! Obama right after election turned to an inside game hiring tons of Wall street folks and Clinton and Republican political insiders trying to work with the rabid right wing. It seems he had the idea if he could distance himself from the dems the pubs would play nice. Fat chance. It is also said that is why he deported twice as many Hispanics as Bush. He was hopping to get a better deal. And just recently he tried to push Summers to the fed, again, (both times the senate dems stopped him) and now has Weiss up and Warren and the senate dems are trying to stop him. washingtonpost.com The Democrats have been decimated. The base only turns out for Obama..........apparently, they think the rest of the Dems are piss poor. The Dems need to start dealing with reality. Obama is the firewall and continues to be the hope of the Dems: Message 29860800
