I am really puzzled as to what the fuck people want. Do any of them consider Congress when they complain that Obama has done nothing for them or that his initiatives are dead? If it were just up to him, we wouldn't have a democracy, no checks and balances, etc. kind of like what the shrub, rove, and chaney would like to have had...a dictatorship.

I also agree with Carol. A year is not time enough to judge, esp. when one considers the gargantuan mess he inherited and has been working on with not much support from the spineless Dems., the recalcitrant GOP, and the people who are mad that "daddy" didn't just "fix it" in one fell swoop.

This country is sick...everyone has to have a hand in its healing and that means compromising, getting together to find our commonalities NOT fight over our differences. Speaking positively and going forth with a positive outlook can do wonders.

Oh, and from a friend in MA: the reason the GOP won was because they guy ran a good campaign and is quite glib and likable...he knows the right things to say to whatever type audience. The DEM, while she's been a good attorney general, ran a negative campaign and looked like an idiot, almost, my friend said, "as if she didn't really want to win." THAT is not a vote from the whole nation as to what Obama is or is not doing and it does not open the floodgates for GOP landslides.


Stop using Obama for a scapegoat and see what the hell you can do to help change things for the better, but oh, that is so much easier, isn't it? Sit on your ass and complain whilst doing nothing.
