(27,787 posts)1) Public Option was never going to pass. NEVER. I'll spot you all the blue dogs except Joe Lieberman, you know, the Senator from AETNA. He was NEVER going to vote yes, and there is no leverage to get him to do so. He campaigned AGAINST OBAMA and he is not running again. If YOU can explain how you flip Lieberman, you win (which you can't do, no one could).
2) Never ending war. You mean like ending the Iraq war. You say Bush started that. Humm, Bush adopted the timeline Obama proposed 6 months earlier. Sad to see a democrat use that right wing BS argument.
3) Foreclosure crisis. Humm ... what exactly do you expect Obama to do there? Forgive all of our mortgages? Nonsense.
4) Since Obama took office, here on DU, there is an ENDLESS stream of posts of how Obama plans to kill Social Security .... but apparently, he SUCKS at it. But you are angry at him for something that has not happened.
