Will Obama get tough and regulate the banks?

[Grand Taurean]

Will Obama work to get us off of oil?

I do not know that the path is now.
The bluedogs are going to move further to the right and I do not see how we get anything meaningful passed.

1. Any suggestions for how 'to get us off of oil'? nt

[msongs]

2. go solar, get a bike, walk, rideshare, work from home. need more? nt

[babylonsister]

3. I just got home from CA. And I didn't walk, or bike, or anything

you suggest. Any other suggestions? While yours are lovely, they're not realistic. I have to drive 5 miles to get a 1/2 gallon of milk.

Any valid suggestions?

[msongs]

8. sorry to make valid suggestions that are quite realistic for millions of people nt

[babylonsister]

9. Again, how do you 'get off oil' if you live 50 miles from the nearest town

and don't own farmland, cattle, whatever? They are not realistic for millions of people.

5. great, we can do that without Congress having to pass a single thing!

[treestar]

4. I'm sure he'd like to, but unless the Senate votes to change its rules

We will only get regulation Lieberman and Snowe are comfortable with.

[SoCalDem]

11. We don;t really need a president anyway, do we? We have a senate committee

of NO.. Millions of people vote for president, but one goofball & a few of his/her pals in the senate can derail everything..

6. He'd better

Or else the American people will just switch to the GOP again.

It's a cycle.

7. pffft n/t

[ProgressOnTheMove]

10. Reform of anything is off the table, we can only pass meaningless stuff now...

unless we expand numbers in November and that's looking very unlikely. *waves white flag*

[Prometheus Bound]

12. They own you, your government and your country.

President Obama doesn't really have any say in the matter as far as I can see.

13. POTUS

He doesn't??? Maybe it isn't what he says but WHAT HE DOESN'T SAY!!! give me a break!!! He couldn't have been more wishy washy and silent when he needed to speak out. But, anyway, I didn't support nor voted for him... I voted writting in Hillary's name. The country took a wrong turn listening to the sirens' chants... Gee, I am so angry...2012 Hillary/Dean or Dean/Hillary...
