Another letter - Can we get a new Chief of Staff for Christmas Mr. President?
Edited on Tue Dec-22-09 03:54 AM by libertypirate
As I type this there is a picture to the right. It is an image of you Mr. President eyes closed looking resigned to your fate. I felt that it is coincidentally symbolic of the hole your teams digging you into.

Wouldn't HR676 just been easier place to start? That's right you put the top corporatist between you and what you told everyone you wanted.

They told you find balance in the middle instead of providing balance to the system by making a hard left. Did you see those stock prices of those insurance companies? Do you feel like a sucker sir?

Send your own!

Doing exactly what Obama wants.

2. it wouldn't make any frickin' difference
Emanuel is doing what the President wants. Why can't people grasp that very, very simple fact and stop writing these eminently silly "fire Rahm" posts that clutter up DU day in and day out?

4. You think the president isn't 'handled'
And who of all the pricks in the White House controls the bubble? You seriously can't be that naive.

Obama didn't even get the family friendly White House he wanted.

Same people same results.

3. Read this if you must....then read it all?

This is President Nothingburger's great gift to America, along with doing nothing about jobs, doing nothing about the Middle East, nothing about civil liberties, nothing about civil rights, and now doing nothing at Copenhagen. Regarding the latter, the world is literally on fire, and he jets in, gives a speech haranguing the delegates that "Now is not the time for talk, now is the time for action", then splits even before the vote in order to beat the snowstorm headed to the east coast that might delay him getting home to his comfy bed. I'm not kidding. You can't make this shit up, man.

This guy is killing me, though at the same time I still can't quite figure him out.

Here's what I get: This president is a corporate hack. Like Bush or Clinton, he has constituents, alright - but you and I are not on that particular list.

Here's what I don't get: He is radically tanking, at a moment when people no longer have patience for those kind of politics anymore.

Here's what I get: This president has his fingers in many pies, as he needs to, ranging from global warming to economic implosion to two wars abroad to massive federal debt.

Here's what I don't get: Why does he bother to do these things in a way that pleases no one, and only dramatically undercuts his own political standing? Why does he refuse to make anyone his enemy, thus making everyone his enemy?

Is he just massively deluded? I wouldn't have thought so, but watching the guy give himself a very good grade for 2009 - straight face and all - during the same year he's lost twenty points off his job approval rating, and at a moment when even blacks and gays are deserting him, you know, you have to wonder.

Is he happy just to be a one-term president - just to say he's been there and done that, and then sell some more books - even if he is reviled as one of the worst in history?

Maybe. But what about the rest of us?

The rest of us, indeed. It's been quite some time since anyone in the White House ever cared about that sorry pack of rabble.

Obama looked like he could've been something different. He ain't.

So this is it, folks.

Change you can believe in?

More like bullshit you can take a bath in, if you ask me.

...

Grow a pair?
