Want a more progressive president? Then get a more progressive Congress.

[woo me with science]

8. Poor Obama.

Yeah, the Congress made him

Sign NDAA
keep on Geithner
hire for his Chief of Staff a Wall Street exec who profited from the mortgage collapse
pressure attorneys general for settlements for corrupt banks
use SS and Medicare as bargaining chips to implement an austerity budget
Sign three new free trade agreements
support naked scanning and groping by TSA
ramp up the drug war
expand the MIC into multiple new countries
give stirring speeches to the American people about the wisdom of austerity and budget slashing in this economy

I heard that Boehner sneaks into his house at night and makes him eat clay, too.


*Of course* we need a more progressive Congress. We also need to PUSH this President to represent us, because clearly he is serving corporate interests in too many cases even when Congress is obviously not the problem.
