They got everything they could possibly have dreamed of from Obama. He had a chance to rein them in -- they were prepared even to be forced to cram down or modify every under water loan. Instead, immediately after advising them he was the only one standing between them and the pitchforks, he gave them everything they could have possibly dreamed of and more.

They thanked him by totally dissing him. They know he won't be fooled again, so they want him gone. Which is precisely why I'm willing to give him a second chance.
