Your anti-Obama memes are wearing thin.

26. and his actions have lost my trust

is the ACA "land breaking legislation"?

Hard for me to tell. It's pretty complicated. It seems to do some good things, and it seems to do some bad things. Unlike some here, who are hung up on single payer that never would have passed, I only wanted two main things from health care reform. First, I wanted "no mandate", and second I wanted a public option.

Now, it appears to me that I got the opposite on both of those.

So, it's kinda hard to be happy about that.

But there are a string of actions on the Bush tax cuts that show Obama to be serving the top 20% rather than the bottom 80%.

First, because of the economic meltdown (or it made a handy little excuse), Obama opted to not deal with the Bush tax cuts. Let them go for another two years when they are gonna expire automatically anyway.

Okay, I was patient. Having waited 8 years to see the Bush tax cuts die, I could wait two more.

Except Obama did not let them die. Instead of that, and even instead of using the THREAT of that to get something good, Obama instead capitulated to Republicans, refused to fight, and kicked the can two years down the road, promising to fight next time.

But not before Obama peddled some lies about how great his 2010 deal was. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x30476

Then two years down the road, having won his re-election, Obama "fights" to make 85% of the Bush tax cuts permanent.

That is an action. An action which benefits the top 20% far far more than it benefits the bottom 80%.

To create permanent tax cuts favoring the rich, does not mean that Obama is moving too slowly in the right direction. Rather it means, fast or slow, he is moving in the WRONG direction. How long am I supposed to wait for him to fucking turn around, bright eyes?

Once upon a time there was hope in my eyes, now my soul is blackened and dark. Nothing I can do, a total sell out of the heart.
