proposed by dems/obama and introduced in the senate, then used as a massive hammer against republicans?

ya know, those pesky things like equal voting hours across the nation (this is federal remember), equal voting machines, equal number of available ballots, early voting opportunities for all, not just in lily white repubican precincts.

first dems need to act like they give a crap, then act as if it can be done, then do it.

and may I suggest you give the man a chance? He was just reelected; I think he's been dancing as fast as he can.

This is a BOG post.

We dems do act like we care, and babylonsister is correct, the President is dancing as fast as he can! He's just having a problem finding a partner that will not step all over his feet.

That said, he is taking it to the people, JUST like he said he would! Change will happen.

Check out my thread in this group. I thought this was suppose to be a group for pro President Obama supporters not nay Sayers who want to come on and complain.

This is the Barack Obama Group and Members of this Group do support him.

Sometimes there are those who wander in and don't realize that it's a Group and only those who agree with The Mission Statement are allowed to post here.

President Obama will continue to do his job in spite of all the distractions.
