Cenk is over at Daily Kos calling for a vote against Obama (updated)

55. He's a pundit, so naturally his words are over the top, but ...

Who of us in 2008 thought the Bush tax cuts would have been extended? All Congress had to do was nothing.

It was doubtful the cuts would have been extended even had McCain won the election. Without 51 Republican votes in the Senate, an extension would have been impossible without some Democratic votes.

I'm an investor. I watched in horror as the world economy nearly unraveled in 2008. It was a historic thing, like Pearl Harbor or 9-11 - something I had previously thought was not possible in my lifetime. And I'm so very underwhelmed by the President's response. It has very much been Republican-lite, and literally nothing has been done to prevent another such crisis from taking place within a few short years of now. It's debatable how much more change the President could actually have accomplished in regulating Wall Street, but he certainly could have done more to advocate such changes.

Look at his appointments. He rolled over Bush's Secretary of Defense. He might as well have rolled over Paulson as Treasury Secretary - Hell Paulson might have done a better job than Geithner. I've seen some argue that these appointments don't matter and that cabinet secretaries are "number crunchers" who don't make policy. Yeah, right.

Cenk is over the top. He's a little hysterical.

But a moron he is not.
