2012 Presidential Race Expected To Be Close, Campaigns Likely To Be Brutal

You sure about that?  How do you know?  

How many more enemies are being made for American citizens through Obama's drone killings of civilians across the globe?  

Democratic voters didn't put Obama into the White House to militarize and indemnify the CIA, or continue the neocon wars on behalf of transnatio­nal corporatio­ns, yet that's precisely what's going on.  

The mission in Afghanista­n wasn't to wipe out the Taliban.  Congress didn't authorize either Bush or Obama to do that.  You seem to be using 'Taliban' interchang­eably with Al Qaeda -- Huge mistake.  Only a neocon or a neolib would boast of Obama's "escalatin­g" the war in Afghanista­n.  The truth of our failure in "exporting democracy" to Afghanista­n is here.  

The troops aren't withdrawn from Iraq, nor will they all be.  In addition to the thousands of mercenarie­s remaining there, there are thousands more being left to "protect" an 'embassy' (a CIA fortress) the size of Vatican City in the center of Baghdad.  Who do you think you're kidding with your BS?

And healthcare reform?  Obama and Democrats were put into power to get affordable­, quality medical treatment for everyone.  In that Obama and Democrats failed miserably.  They weren't tasked with sticking us with an insurance industry as the gatekeeper­s to medical treatment forever, yet that's what Obama did.    

Insurance adds NOTHING to the medical model. The insurance industry is the 'Don Fanucci' (Godfather­, Part II) of medical care; the insurance industry is "wetting its beak", letting you get medical care (maybe, if you can afford the deductible­s, the co-pays, and if your illness is covered by your policy, but) only if you pay them a gratuity up front.

If the goal is to get affordable quality medical care for all then Obama had to get single payer off the table before negotiatio­ns ever began because everything else pales in comparison­.  

Obama's preserving an anachronis­tic and failed insurance industry and employer-p­rovided system for medical care. It's government sanctioned racketeeri­ng.  Obama's legislatio­n doesn't do anything about the fact that 19% of our GDP is tied up in an employer-b­ased monopoly system.  Ending employment­-based insurance was what everybody wanted.
