(15,444 posts)I got soundly trounced that if I didn't think it was anybody's business, why bring it up? So, that goes for you, too.
And just so you know, as a reminder, it's PRESIDENT Obama, not Herr Obama or Caesar Obama. Get the gist? Whether you like it or not, he's going to have to work with this Congress for two years before and IF we can remove the remaining TeaBaggers out of the House. That's still not a guarantee.
Until such time, he needs our support because it didn't end with casting your vote so that the griping can begin. Besides, he can get all the griping he needs for a lifetime from the GOP without having the never-satisfied Left doing the deed for them.
By the way, all polls show that the American people, contrary to your assertion, BY FAR want government to work together. They're tired of the gridlock and if he wants to go more to the left - which he won't because he's not Jill Stein - that's exactly what will happen. The majority in our democracy is pragmatic and voted for him, not Stein, and the majority in a democracy won big time.
That said, I'm so sick and tired of wailing against this president from BOTH sides of the political spectrum. Has it ever occurred to you that if you go too far left you'll come full circle and you'll eventually meet the other side's extreme fringe? Think about it.
