In reply to the discussion: "Summers wasn't the nominee." [View all]cui bono
(19,926 posts)As tired as you are of hearing it, we are even more tired of having to say it. He is such a huge disappointment to so many of us. For me it is so sad that he squandered all the good feeling about him being elected and stayed in the middle, trying so desperately to get the GOP on his side. He should have come out boldly for a new deal type of program and the people would have stood up and given him the support and made our congress critters listen.
Instead he put Wall Street in the WH. I mean really, they are what caused the recession. And that's not all. We all know he continued a lot of BushCo policies and even expanded them. Of course people are going to keep speaking out about it, because it is continuing! If we hadn't spoken out perhaps we'd already have bombed Syria and Summers might be nominated. That's the point of a democracy, to speak our minds and have our voices heard.
Your term, is just ridiculous. How do you not see that? It makes no sense, especially how you used it in the post to which I'm replying.
No one needs to find an excuse to criticize Obama when he has bonehead ideas like that. And we've suffered through enough of them already. Any good he has done is far outweighed by his corporate/bankster sell outs. The good he has done is what any Dem should do. The bad he does no Dem should ever be caught doing. That is why the criticism continues.
I advise you to drop your meme if you want to be taken seriously.
