What positions have I expressed in my over 13,000 comments on HP are not those of a liberal Democrat, kid?

There are 3 branches of government, but We the People can only choose to represent us in two of those branches.

The best?
A man who is in bed with corporations, who is blocking investigations and prosecutions into what the Bush-Cheney administration did that has led to one catastrophic failure after another, and you think he's the best????

If you believe that, then you don't understand the failure of oversight and the regulatory system.
The government regulator with oversight of offshore drilling allowed industry officials to fill in their own inspection reports and federal employees accepted gifts -- including meals and tickets to sporting events -- from oil and natural gas companies, according to a new report by the Interior Department's Inspector General.
In addition, Mineral Management Service employees viewed porn on government computers -- similar to a recent scandal involving the Securities and Exchange Commission -- according to the report.

Why do I, a liberal Democrat, say that Barack Obama is a weasel, in bed with corporations?:
Obama's Freeze On Offshore Drilling Was Verbal Order
It was lip service, nothing more.
The Minerals Management Service (MMS) has issued at least 17 drilling permits in the past month. Administration officials say those permits do not violate the ban. The moratorium was not put into writing, which can make the details of the drilling freeze difficult to assess.

Watch this to understand what's going on with all industries in the US and the government agencies charged with oversight over them -

We don't need leaders in government who work "in a bipartisan manner", who "look for consensus". We don't need any more "uniters, not dividers".
We need "cleaners".
We need crusaders. Fighters. A president who knows right from wrong, doesn't split the difference on corruption for the sake of expediency. We need a president with convictions, who will set the full power of the DoJ and all investigative arms of the executive branch loose to expose, purge and separate (with a cleaver) Big Business's hold on the People's government.
We need representatives in all branches of our government more loyal to the Constitution and the People than to a political party flush with corporate pay-offs.
That's not Obama and this current Congress.

Obama is just another Washington insider, perpetuating the status quo, blocking real reform. He isn't fixing anything. He's continuing the same failed deregulatory system that's allowed corporations to prosper at the expense of Americans' lives.
To excuse Obama, to pass the buck, say "It's Congress's job", is to be ig.nor.ant of the executive branch agencies under a president's control & all of these agencies' cozy relationships with Big Business. Obama's done nothing to change it.
One example is Obama's reaction to the oil blow-out in the Gulf. How does separating MMS into two or three agencies (where one would issue the drilling permits, another would inspect the drilling operations, etc.) change employees' behavior, where inspectors didn't inspect but had oil companies' employees write up the inspection sheets?
People need to be fired & face criminal charges. But Obama doesn't like doing that. Obama blocks investigations & prosecutions, preferring to "look forward, not back".
Career politicians (professional Democrats & Republicans) have gamed the government so that everyone, from Congress to the White House, can point their fingers at someone else & say, "It's not my fault, it was his responsibility".
And then after years of investigations and hearings, watered down findings are published and then buried. Business continues as before. If anyone is left holding the bag it's some low-level flunkie, someone who has retired (with full pension & benefits) before the finding is published, and is never prosecuted.
