(825 posts)It seems to me though, that if he continued to speak to the American people in the same manner that he campaigned, he would have had an irresistible wave of support, and the ass-hat Republicans would have had to capitulate to the will of the people. Instead he tried to pacify the right-wing and bring about bi-partisanship. It didn't work for President carter, it didn't work for President Clinton and it isn't working for President Obama. If I am wrong on this, please explain why the Republican congress capitulated on the jobs bill. If all I can expect out of our Democratic leadership is more right-wing legislation, then why should I support him?
I worked in the campaigns of JFK, LBJ, RFK and each Democratic Presidential Campaign including Clintons in 1988. But not in Clintons second campaign nor in Al Gores (mistake on my part). I do not expect to do anything for Obama, for the same reason as Clinton.
Sadly, our Democrat congresswoman (Anne Kirkpatrick) lost to the Tea-Party candidate Paul Gosar. I really hope to see that change back in 2012. I will be working towards that end.
I also hope that you win the seat in congress that you are going after! I also hope that you live up to your promises made during the campaign instead of just kind of going along with the Repubs in hope of broader support to get re-elected.
Best wishes...
