americans finally had enough from bush and put obama in. obama told us what he wanted to do and what he thought america could do and a lot of politically new and naive voters gave up after two years because they actually thought a black man could march into the white billionaires house and kick ass.
single payer was made unacceptable by team limbaugh getting a free speech free ride for 20 years. the left let that happen. same with much of the disaster of the last 20 years. bush, like palin, would never have gotten close to the white house if the left paid attention to those 1000 radio stations screaming in every blue community that liberals are traitors and thieves and whores all day long.
we can find all sorts of examples of obama political stupidity but until the left recognizes and challenges that unified 1000 station megaphone there will be no real democracy or significant reform. until then the left cannot say it is getting its reps backs. a single local blowhard with a big microphone and some talking points can undo the work of thousands of protestors and activists. it is fucking ridiculous.

i can and will continue to blame the collective left for that in the sense that it can be fixed but is being ignored.
