disappointed with other...

I didn't/don't think he's a dictator/king. I know there are limits to what he can do. I also know he should have done a little more when had the chance.

I wish, for example, with healthcare, he started with single payer, and pushed till he turned blue, maybe we would have ended up with a public option.

I wish he would, in not so many words, would tell the republicans to fuck off once in a while.

I also wish the bankers who fucked everything up were punished.

A lot of other stuff has more do with other dems and the pukes.

I strongly disagree with that this is the fourth term of Bush.
