Reply #16: All Anger Directed at the Base

[Stringertom]

It is so disappointing our so-called leaders can only direct their vitriol at the ones that worked so hard for their election. The Sunday talk show spin was again filled with condescension from Axelrod and Goolsby, claiming noone but 44 has the courage to take the stands necessary to get the "best deal possible". There is so little right in the "deal" struck that the WH team has to politic their position as the "adult" approach to the national predicament. Passing $800+ billion off as an "adult" solution to the problem is ludicrous. If $800+ billion is the price tag, why isn't any of it aimed at things that would really dig us out of the Bush ditch? Why no "green" initiatives? Don't say a word about ethanol. That is only digging a deeper ditch! I want a grid to harness wind/solar built here in the US not China! I want credits to car buyers that make them want to buy 30+MPG vehicles today and electric-only vehicles by 2020. I don't want tax rates from 2001 extended that didn't work then and won't work tomorrow! I won't accept a sell-out to the elite by someone who campaigned for the common people! Do you hear me now, Mr. President? I worked phones for you, donated to you and voted for you, you fraud! Come down off your high horse and feel our pain. You are the biggest disappointment imaginable trying to pass off your capitulation as some measure of courageous political manouvering. Excuse me for my sanctimony and purist positioning but I can't bend over due to the higher volume of matter between my legs!
