Debt Commission Leaders Paint Gloomy Picture During National Governors Association Meeting

And while we're on the subject of Americans NOT granting permission to politicians to raid the Social Security fund, the 2000 election was a coup d'etat. Bloodless, but a coup nonetheless.



If ever a president came into office with less political capital, who should have been working in a "bipartisan" manner (and not ramming through his campaign promises of "tax cuts for the rich"), it was Bush. All that Bush should have been allowed to do after the Supreme Court named him to the White House was implement Gore's campaign promises, beginning with paying back what had been stolen from the Social Security trust fund.



The idea that Obama (who came into office with more votes than any previous president, a filibuster-proof Senate, a huge majority in the House) wasted a moment on "bipartisanship" given that Republicans stated straight out that they were going to vote in lockstep against everything he & Democrats proposed AND that two senators of that 60 were on de@th's door (Kennedy & Byrd) should convince everyone that Obama's a DINO, a corporate t00I.



Add to that, the fact that Obama has NEVER used any pressure at all on Joe Lieberman. Obama insisted he caucus with Democrats and keep the chairmanship of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, over REAL Democrats who have served Democratic policy interests. That meant no real investigation into FEMA, into Bush's corrupt inept administration's response to Hurricane Katrina.
