What you should be feeling good about are the people who held Obama's feet to the fire, who weren't deterred by the criticism of Obama's 'most ardent supporters
' (like you) and were willing to let him and Democrats renege on their campaign promises.
I'm not talking about START, by the way -- There was no way that it wasn't going to get passed. That was a no brainer. There was no way that Republican
s were going to let themselves get caught on the other side of that issue. I'm talking about legislatio
n like 9/11 Responders
, and DADT, although we're going to have to wait to see just how and when Obama's going to let that be implemente
d.
From your list of Obama's 'accomplis
hments', it's clear that you don't read legislatio
n and listen only to his very high priced public relations' spinners' rhetoric. For example, when 50,000 combat-tra
ined troops remain (plus untolled numbers of private contractor
s, specifical
ly to hide American military presence and involvemen
t), when key Iraq government posts are empty, the war in Iraq is far from over.
And we're in the 10th year of the Afghanista
n war, no end in sight, expansion on the horizon, with an undefined and free-float
ing 'mission'.
And as far as "keeping the nation from going into a Depression
", you really don't want to go there. You really don't want to put Obama in that seat. It wasn't any trick or great feat; all that was needed was opening up Americans' veins (US Treasury) and bleeding us all out into the criminal banks' back pockets. And it was Bush that did that (TARP). What Obama was responsibl
e for was an anemic stimulus and HAMP that has this Depression (yes, we're in a Depression
, not a recession) poised to meltdown yet again:
3 million foreclosur
es down, 11 million more in the pipeline. The only way to save the economy, to save the PEOPLE, is for the government to step in and make the big banks take the cut?
15 million families are about to face foreclosure.
