A Rebuttal to Howard Dean: I Am a U.S. Senator, and I Will Vote For This Bill

“You lost....Ob ama lost.....n ow the progressives will vote 3rd party and hand power back to the Republicans. You just don't learn, do you?”

“Well, I certainly DID learn from my mistake of voting for Nader in 2000. If we Progressives are dumb enough to help usher back in a Republican Congress/President, then we are the fools, and we are the ones that will pay. It's not Obama's fault Lieberman, Nelson, and a few others voted to kill the parts we all wanted.... honestly, what do you expect him to do? Go home with nothing? B/c that's the alternative. Were you paying attention during the Clinton administration? Apparently you just don't learn, do you?
This bill appears to be FAR from perfect, but it's a step in the right direction. If we're hoping to get everything we want in, then we need to elect 60 Progressive senators.”

“What will "saving the democrats" do for us? Obviously nothing. What has Obama done for us? Escalated Afghan, Guantanamo remains open, gays still can't serve in the military, no single-payer, no public option, lobbyists still infect the halls of congress, etc....ad infinitum. What has Obama done? Or, what has he given up?”

“Rahm is the real problem, not Lieberman. If you want to blame Obama's demise on anyone, point the finger at this guy.”

“President Obama has never demise anybody! That is not his nature, he doesn't hate, demonize or revenge anyone. Please don't lie like that, it's not true. However, Rahm is like that, and always will.”

“Obama keeps listening to this jerk off. Rahm is Obama's problem. The pro Israel lobby needs to be kicked in the ass and sent scurrying under a rock from whence it came. Rahm has done nothing to help US taxpayers.”
Brett1981 replied on Dec 19, 2009 at 04:14:51
“Obama is responsible for Obama's demise. He's a self described New Democrat. Rahm isn't doing anything that Obama isn't onboard with.
Obama can't be a 20 dimensional chess player and completely naive to what's occurring around him. He knows exactly what he's doing.”

Please, Cut Obama Some Slack
Commented Dec 17, 2009 at 18:42:43 in Politics
“Jacob, you're missing the point. When somebody says they won't cut back room deals when they are in office, runs for president on a single-payer or public option campaign, gives billions to the bankers with no strings attached, and leaves those facing foreclosures, etc... out in the cold, how long should the base that voted him in keep silent?

If you want action, you have to demand it. All Obama has done since taking office is capitulate despite the fact he has majorities in the house and senate. Is our anger and criticism of a man who sold us down the river really deserving of any more "slack"?”

“This is such tiresome rhetoric. Keep on saying one thing and doing another Barack. You are so duplicitou s....telli ng the people how the banks "don't get it", and then hiring a pack of banking insiders to make policy decisions. Are you even a serious human being? When you clean house by getting rid of the likes of Rubin, Geithner, Summers, and Emmanuel, I'll might start to believe this tripe. I'm getting so sick of listening to this rubbish. The difference between progressives and Bush supporters is that WE KNOW when someone is pulling a bait and switch job on us, because we actually understand more than you think we do. Stop with the toothless platitudes and do something that marginally resembles reform! NObama in 2012.”

“I would partially agree Clintonius. I respectfully submit that I truely believe that President Obama is an Honest man, although he has surrounded himself with very smart people, they have not served him or this Country Well! If in the coming months he is not willing to enlighten himself and make adjustments, I am sure the Democratic Majority will be short lived! I to would like to see the replacement of the Ivy league Gang, in fact I can even suggest a replacement for Geithner's Position, and that would be Elizabeth Warren. The first sign of losing trust in Policy from your own constituents/party should be a no-brainer, but people do not live to learn!”

Ed Schultz Takes On Jonathan Alter Over Health Bill, Public Option (VIDEO)
Commented Dec 09, 2009 at 04:32:33 in Media
“What a weak bill. The legacy of this whole reform effort rests on one thing and one thing only: A PUBLIC OPTION. So, Mr. Alter can sit there and say that this is a great reform bill, yadayadayada, but without an alternative to BIG INSURANCE, we simply lose. This is not about compromise, it's about doing what the majority of Americans want...... a public option. Anything less is a victory for the Republican'ts and evil corporate insurers.”
