(51,076 posts)is he doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve, neither does he give up his hand to satisfy a few, some of whom won't be satisfied no matter what he does. They just don't like him and will alway find something to complain about. The last 6 years has shown me and I'm sure him too that there is a lot of closeted racist people in this country. The next two years he'll be working using that knowledge to help guide him and things will be different. As you will have already seen to prove my point
I'd vote for him again in a heart beat.
For instance. all we heard for weeks even months from the mostly republiCON congress critters about how the only way to save SS was CPI from the congress, (other reasons too but that was one of them.) Finally O comes out with a plan, that btw wasn't ever expected to go anywhere by him, and his plan has CPI in it. Not one more word have I heard from the republiCONs about this since then except to say they're against doing that. Be honest with yourself and give the man a chance. He's led the way to allowing Gay marriage in lots of the places you wouldn't have ever guessed it would be allowed.
The last time I looked the number of people coming over illegally has dropped way way down from what it was during the cheney/little boots reign.
About amnesty. By giving these good american citizens, other than the one rub that they didn't come through the line to get here it puts them in the Social Security numbers and equal wages to us which is awesome in the fact that now the rich won't be able to use their illegal status as leverage to pay them anything much at all. Its a smart move for everyones benefit no matter what you do for a living. By giving these other wise good people full citizenship it raises your wages not lowers it. By being citizens their worth goes way up in the labor market.
Anyways what I'm getting at is the president has a point in telling the congress critters to come up to speed on TPP rather than them sitting back and saying its all being done in total secret. Its not but many chose to think it is. I mean the job of our congress critters is to look out for us but I've heard many use the excuse that well I didn't read the whole thing, its like some ungodly number of pages and I just never got the time, kind of shit. its all Obamas fault though, I do get that.
have a good day
