(35 posts)Bill Clinton and Barak Obama were more or less dealt the same hand. From the time they each took office, they were bombarded by the highly organized "Destroy America" monster known as the Libertarian Party. We saw it at Watergate, the Whitewater distraction, the Monica Lewinski setup and now the Fox News/AM Talk Radio thought control machine orchestrated by Charles and David Koch.
Without a filibuster proof Congress, President Obama has made as much progress as is possible. He has put his own agenda and reputation aside, for the welfare of those in this country who are really hurting. To the 50% living in poverty, this isn't a game. It's waking up Christmas morning with no gifts for the kids. It's going to bed hungry so your children don't have to. Rome wasn't built in a day and it's taken 45 years for the Libertarian movement to take control of the GOP and begin to dismantle the Federal Government. And, it's going to take several voting cycles and consistent hard work to reverse the trend. If you really feel strong about your beliefs, you have to have the staying power of say, Nelson Mandela!
