When Obama came into power, the GOP wasn't on the ropes; it was down for the count because of the devastation that Bush-Cheney had caused the nation. And Obama issued Bush-Cheney and Republicans (essentially) a pardon.
None of them express any remorse or contrition. As a matter of fact, they're rested and ready for another round of tax cuts for the rich and slicing-and-dicing Social Security, Medicare, and anything else they can get their hands on that would help the People. Just 2 days ago, Bush showed up just blocks away from OWS, at Goldman-Sacks, for a meeting honoring him. I don't doubt that Goldman-Sacks will do the same for Obama before long.
Even now, Obama continues to try to make nice with Republicans, cave some more, water down Democratic values and legislation instead of pushing popular and smart populist legislation like the People's Budget and firing Tim Geithner and Eric Holder.
Obama's not any kind of real Democrat; he's a DINO, and if you didn't like the Republican Party of the last 35 years, the party of Reagan (forget just the past 10), you're going to hate where Obama and the DLC are taking the 'new and improved' Democratic Party from which they hope "to govern for 100 years".
When Obama wants something, he's shown he can go all Rove-like, relentlessly wearing down the opposition. The problem is that he and the DLC-controlled Democratic Party don't want what the Democratic voters put them into power to get.
