15. So blaming people that did a fair to poor job
is not the answer??

Transparency - meetings behind closed and locked doors

Some would say look at all the stuff Obama got done........
I look at the big stuff where he feel down on the job
Has anything been done to clean up the mess left behind from bush??
Is bush still running around declaring he was a war criminal??
Health care passed, weak, but passed and every day still being attacked
New banking rules, weak, but passed and everyday still being attacked
Got a couple of gay judges
A couple of Supreme Courters

If you want to use the tired and false phrase of what do you expect when he has to work against
the republicans. When he ran for office did he expect the republicans to roll over after eight years??
I never saw any fight from him. Many will disagree about fighting, many will say that is not his style.
When you sit down to the table one does not start from the middle. There are lives at stake here.
Real people die when mistakes are made. Are not the lives of real American people not worth fighting for??
Sometimes when one fights they get bloody and lose. It is better to fight and lose than to settle for
something that is not good.

I sit and watch how the teachers union around the country is being destroyed by this administration.
When he appointed people that leaned right I thought it was not a bad idea to get differing ideas.
It turns out he listens to these people more and more.

Deregulation almost destroyed this country and the bankers were happy that they got to keep their money.
Mortgage fraud running rampant and he does nothing to stop it.
Real people got hurt by these actions. Not the mystical person, but real living people.

A great leader leads from the front, a weak leader gives orders and hopes for the best.
A great leader is not afraid to get bloody. A weak leader just wants to get through it.
A great leader inspires the people. A weak leader not so much.
It would seem that the people determined that President Obama was not a great leader because
the people were not inspired. You can not blame the people because they were not inspired.

I am a democrat. I voted for Obama. I will vote again for him if he is the nominee.
But do not expect me to sit back and take whatever he dishes out just because he says he is a democrat.

The people determine what a democrat is not the party leaders.

One last thing: If you have a democratic president and the people are worried about SS and M&M being cut
then something is really wrong with the world.
