Obama One Year Later: The Audacity of Winning vs. The Timidity of Governing
Commented Nov 03, 2009 at 09:16:48 in Politics
“It's very easy to peer through a picture window and pick out the other guy's faults. It's tougher when you step into that environment and take on the other guy's mantle. However true, the perception is that President Obama doesn't have a sense of urgency that the rest of us feel everyday as we question whether our companies will keep their doors open, or if jobs are going to be available for our next round of college graduates, or if our neighbors are going to continue losing their homes. There are many layers to a Presidency, but addressing the most obvious elephant in the room, in this case, jobs and economy, will make a way for the other components to be plugged in with very little resistance.”

Why Keep Geithner?
Commented Nov 02, 2009 at 09:00:37 in Business
“Geithner rose up through the ranks of the most-corrupt bank and securities era since the S&L crisis. His knowledge of how things work is skewed. It had nothing to do with a fair system that everyone could buy into. It was about back-scratching and wealth-building with greed as a motivator. Geithner can never serve me, normal American, because the system he operates in limits participation. Again, I love my President, but Geithner and his philosophy of the 1% mentality is the worst press this administration could ever get.”

“I've got a friend who works in the mental health field - specializing with teenagers. She says that we would all be shocked at how many times her "girls" run off to the emergency room to get a pregnancy test. Ten bucks at the pharmacy, but no, they go to the emergency room because it's "free" or so they say - and then they have about 10 more tests run and the cost ends up being thousands for a damned pregnancy test.”

“Free, as in costing the taxpayers $1000 a year to keep these cesspools running for care that the ER was never designed for.
As I related earlier, ,When my Dad died in the hospital, a visitor who had come to see him, had a stroke as she was leaving and we had to try to get her help in the ER. I had never been in ER since my husband's death in 2000.
Honest to god, you would not take your dog or cat to this ER and I had no idea what it was like, This is at a major well to do hospital, too.”

“I agree. I'm a Democrat that says that ACORN should be scrutinized and held accountable for its actions - just like every government funded organization or business. No holds barred for these guys, either. I say cut 'em off financially. This is shameful.”

“You know I was wondering where he had been the past few weeks, but I'm sure it was to coach "Eliza Doolittle Palin" before she goes to Hong Kong to make her speech. Nothing like listening to Pat's heir apparent tirades about the Republican Party. He ran out of comments a long time ago.”

“Reading through the comments brings me back to how pragmatic we are as a people. I believe one reader put it best; if we don't like Wall Street - stop investing. If we don't like insurance - opt out. The pocketbook always speaks the loudest, but the President has to be willing to hold corrupt parties responsible and make an example of an industry that still has one foot in the past administration.”

“Citigroup's CEO took home $100 million in compensation while they fired a record number of people during that time, some with 25+ years of service at the company, and not a nickle of severance. We cancelled our credit card with them and opened a different one. That is cause/effect in action. I know not everyone is in a position to take swift action, but for those who can I can attest that vindication is sweet!”

Breach of Discipline

“You are so right, Maj. General. We are raised, in particular in the south, to respect our elders, respect positions of authority and strive to treat one another equally. Somewhere along the line Joe Wilson forgot that he was sitting in the room with his Commander in Chief. This deserves more than some halfhearted attempt at an apology.”

“Respect is what is lacking here. The GOP needs to take a lesson from the democrats in the way they treat the president and the first family. George Bush never suffered this kind of humiliation and the rhetoric towards Laura Bush and the Bush twins was always measured and respectful, even on web sites like the Huffington Post and the Dailykos.”

I Am a Former Staffer of the President's and I Want Him To Fight Like He Promised Us

“I am certain that our President was left with a full plate of issues that would petrify anyone taking on a new leadership position, and frankly, if he were the head of any private sector business he would have been applauded day after day for rolling up his sleeves. The American people are pragmatic and patient, despite the rhetoric on both extremes. Most Americans are like me, grateful for a fresh approach, and we voted for this man to succeed for four years...not fail in nine months. I like my President and I'm proud of him. It's just sad that he has to wade through so much muck to get to work everyday.”

We need to start to get financially sound.
We have to stand above the retoric of the corporations and politicians.”

President Scarborough? "Morning Joe" Would Be a Viable Threat To Obama in 2012

“What is this...the GOP Presidential Parade Pageant? I mean, come on. Their playbook is so worn. "I know, let's roll out another name this week and see where it sticks?" This again, speaks nothing about a platform. A plan. Scarborough/Palin - he's got the megaphone...she's got the sizzle!”

“Why do they need to articulate, yet again, their plan?
1) Tax breaks for the rich
2) Preemptive strikes
3) Roll back the constitution
Who cares what the party head looks like, thats the platform.”

“Ain't this the truth? Have you honestly gone onto Drudge Re.port? That site looks like a 2nd grader put it together, and all the Republicans just go on and on about how wonderful it is. Haha. Huffington Post is slick awesome and makes 'em all look simplistic and childish. It will be a while before any of the GOP can catch up to the smarts of the Huff Po crowd.”
