Matt Damon: Obama 'Broke Up With Me,'

[John2]

169. In all fairness,

the President won a second term, because people were and are willing to give him time. The problem is, he needs to keep his promises, or try his best to keep them.

People want the Troops home. It doesn't mean shift troops in another region for the interests of another country or regime change. He did not run on the Arab Spring. That is the neocon Policy. I think people were very encouraged, when they thought this Administration was actually opening up secret talks with Iran on the nuclear, instead of listening to Netanyahu.


Nobody asked the President to compromise on Social Security or Medicare and Medicaid. He feels he has to do that. If he had just left it alone, the Republicans would have taken all the blame during the mid terms for trying to cut them, instead of them placing blame on Democrats.

The Republican Congress didn't have any mandate Nationally, the President beat their candidate on the issues, so he had a mandate. He is the Commander in Chief of the Arm Forces. Just close Guantanamo bay period. What will Congress do, impeach him for using his powers doing a War? It was the same as Lincoln passing the Emancipation Proclamation.

Sure, the Republicans won the House, but it isn't like they have some super majority in the House. The Republicans would have needed to go back to their Districts and explain to their older constiuents, why they wanted to cut Social Security or enact chained CPI. The reason they got away with it before, was because they lied about it and put it on Obama. They were finally on the record, and the Democrats had them, but they listened to the DLC and corporate media pundits calling for compromise. They placed the Debt on Entitlements rather than numerous Wars, corporate tax breaks for the wealthy, and the military Industrial Complex. All the wealth has went towards the one percent. They had no recession, but they created it. They are the people charged to spend money and create jobs. Instead, they wanted more favorable policies, including privatizing public sector jobs. Eliminating more Public sector jobs eliminated competition, and gives them a monopoly. The President was and is, playing right into their hands.
