81. It shouldn't surprise you

May 2012

to find supporters of the President on Democratic Underground. Your call for "Dude give IT up!" is likely to not get any takers here. What we really need is less hyperbole such as "cheerleading for a guy that is in bed with the god damned enemy" for example. Obama has not given away the store to wall street. One doesn't need to look very far really to find that is untrue, and at best hyperbole.

President Obama signs most sweeping Wall Street reform bill since Great Depression

Obama Outlines Credit Card Reforms I probably don't need to tell you that not only did he call for Credit Card Reforms, but he signed it into law.

The President has made mistakes to be sure, and he hasn't given us everything that we want. I would hardly classify him as sleeping with the enemy. Not even close.
