Reply #7: "Again, he has proven to make the right decisions again and again" [View All]

Just not on LGBT rights, free trade, banking and finance, ending the wars, closing Guantanamo, closing the "secret" CIA prisons, and Ending torture (which the red cross and amnesty international says is still happening on his watch). That's just off the top of my head at the moment.

He has made some right choices on the environment, but only partially. Baby steps so far with no real results or impact.

He has made the right choices on restoring support for science in government offices. But no hiring yet. The budget is all going to banks and the military, so there is no money to rehire the scientists he supports so much.

He has made the right choices in supporting one union so far, but that support didn't come with any real signs of support. It was just a verbal slap on the back. Not like the support his corporate buddies get that have policy and money behind it.

He has made the right choice to start talking about health care, but he is making the wrong choice in keeping insurance companies at the heart of it even though they are the bulk of the problem.

So, as I see it, he's batting someplace around 10%. That's 10% better than Bush, and better than McCain would have done. But it's still only 10%

I was hoping for a president would be making right decisions at least someplace in the 50% range. :(
