160. Thanks for the time you took to respond...

We're not so far apart Jeff. I am bitter and it comes out in my posts.

No, I didn't think that things could be turned around with one President. I'm not that nieve. However, I did expect a Democrat to hold to Dem principles. This, in my opinion, he has not done. I may be the only person in the entire world that thinks he did not fulfill his commitments...and if that is the case...that's okay with me.

No, I haven't read all of your posts and when I used the term "lock-step" I wasn't necessarily referring to YOU. I was speaking more generally. You see, you haven't read all of my posts either.

Do I need to go over what has been stated here ad nauseam concerning our President's failure to uphold the campaign promises that he made. So, you think that I believe that he made promises that he actually didn't make??? Oh please, Jeff. I guess you don't know me very well. Are you telling me that he didn't express a progressive agenda - that he was going to reel in Wall Street (as an example), etc. etc. What do you think the whole Occupy Movement was about? In my humble opinion, it was people who realized that the President wasn't going to do the things he stated he would do and they decided that they needed to do it themselves.

I'm sorry if you think that I'm some sort of Republican whacko...there is nothing I can say that would convince you that I am a loyal and committed Democrat and have been my entire 59 years.

You are correct...it would have taken a very special person to turn things around as quickly as many of us (unrealistically) hoped for. But are you going to tell me that he didn't put himself up as that "change agent?" Am I not allowed to be disappointed not only in our President, but the other fake Democrats that hold office and are just as responsible for our continued decline???

We are on the same team Jeff...even if you don't think so. We want the same things for our country. If you can't hear the "fight" in my voice than you are only hearing what you want to hear. You just want to hear that I'm dragging our Party down as if it hasn't already been done long ago by others with far more power than I have. I am a fighter and I will never "compromise" Democratic values...not for political reasons or to "get along."

President Obama is a real nice guy. Unfortunately, we needed more than a real "nice guy." We needed someone with the same commitment to our values and is willing to sacrifice whatever it takes.

No, you're right, it can't be turned around with one President. However, I expect him to at least make the effort to...to FIGHT just as hard as I have fought.

This is what makes us Democrats Jeff...both of us. We just see different methods for achieving the same goals. You are exercising the kind of patience that I do not have. Perhaps you have more time.
