Yes, there was some change, but if you listened to his campaign, he told us who he was.

I get the feeling that no matter what Obama does, some folks are just going to criticize him and call him names like "Chunk of excrement purveyor of second hand conveyances" or something on those lines....

Hey, I think the Democratic Party is far to much to the right, dont get me wrong, but until there is a viable alternative, etc

They're progressive on some matters, but they tend towards isolationism and gun enthusiasm. They care about THEIR issues, but the issues of women and minorities...? Eh, not so much....

And ...they're HEEEEERE.....

After all, he came around to the same position as Sanders.

Obama had some good economic numbers to rub in Republican faces. Love it.

I think Obama is a pure politician, but I also think he knows what the right thing is and he usually does it

Not counting all the FEMA temps when the stupid thing breaks and leaks oil sludge everywhere!!


of course, for the irony-impaired.


I will say that I'm glad that Obama kept his counsel and didn't give the GOP a topic to beat him up on over the past couple of years. He got called a LOT of names from people who were supposedly on his own team because he kept that powder dry.

Yeah, the "just right" Democratic Baby Bear doesn't exist. It is always "Too hot" or "Too cold." "Too soft" or "Too hard." "Too big" or "Too small."

The Democrat we have is never good enough.

The Democrat we might have is never good enough.

Whoever wins - you can bet they will never be "just right." For much of DU.

However, not all of DU.

President Obama gets it right one more time!

The 'lame duck' is soaring!
