Obama On Debt Ceiling Talks: Both Sides Must Make 'Political Sacrifices' (VIDEO)

Saturday, July 9, 2011


You're going to keep supporting Obama, you're going to keep voting against your own best interests, in spite of the fact that he isn't supporting you, isn't supporting the common man?

That makes no sense.

By that logic, you'd still be supporting corporatio­ns that did business in S. Africa and apartheid would still be in place.

Viable plans and solutions abound, everything from robust stimulus plans to the People's budget, and all need presidenti­al heft to get onto the public stage, but this president won't even put them on the table.  And your continued support of him, in spite of all betrayals of what you claim to be for, prevents alternativ­e candidates from coming forward.  That's how it works in our current two-party system.  We don't draft people to run.  Whatever possible candidates I might have in mind, unless and until those keeping Obama's approval numbers get a clue, they wouldn't come forward because they wouldn't stand a chance against a sitting president with high numbers.

It's Obama's 'most ardent supporters­' who are our (and their own) worst enemies at this juncture.
