All you folks so unhappy with President Obama, let me ask you a question...

165. I believe that Rep. Kucinich could have done a much better job.

He seems to definitely be universally more aware and insightful than President Obama.

RFK once paraphrased Geore Bernard Shaw and said, "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?".

This is something Rep. Kucinich seems to understand. It takes a leader of vision to make the changes necessary to carry a group forward to improve their condition and effectively meet the challenges of the present and the future as well.

President Obama seems to be primarily dedicated to preserving the status quo even as it continues to become more destructive on a daily basis.

Instead of saying, "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?",
he might say, "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? Huh. Go figure."

I'm sincerely hoping I'm wrong; and that my vote for him in the upcoming election will mean so much more than just a vote against republicans and the greater destruction that would occur under a republican administration. He will definitely be better than any republican.

I would have loved it if he took one look at the NDAA bill and said, in so many words, "You know what? Fuck this. I'm not signing this fascist piece of shit!".

But he never does anything like this. His conservative decorum is depressing; the lack of significant positive change we've seen in the past 3 years is disturbing.

"A revolution is coming — a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough; compassionate if we care enough; successful if we are fortunate enough — But a revolution which is coming whether we will it or not. We can affect its character; we cannot alter its inevitability."
