Obama Assails GOP On Clouded Final Campaign Push

Each election cycle where FDR stuck to his liberal guns, more Democrats were elected giving Democrats the majority in Congress. In 1934 Democrats increased their hold on Congress, & that continued every 2 years until the 1937 recession hit (the result of conservatives' success in cutting spending), when Republicans stopped losing seats & gaining them.



Obama came into office with the wind at his back. More people voted for him, a black man in good old r@c!st America, than ever in the history of the US. They did it because of his ability to persuade that he was going to change the system, end the corporatocracy & lobbyism in government -- He was going to be the People's president, not a corporate t00I.



But unlike FDR, no sooner had Obama gotten elected than he slammed the brakes on the momentum of his election & a filibuster-proof Senate (tentative yet, could end at any moment, because senators Kennedy & Byrd were at d.e.a.t.h's door), Obama did a 180-degree turn on his promises & sloooooowed everything down. To "work in a bipartisan manner with Republicans", after Republicans had already announced they were going to block everything Democrats wanted to do, & vote no on everything, in lockstep.
