The PO was killed by the lack of votes in the Senate. Anyone with any knowledge of what is going on....knows that is a fact. We had Senators on the Dem side such as Landrieu and Lincoln already saying they would NOT vote for the health care bill if the PO was in. So tell me, what he was supposed to do?! Huh! Don't be a clown.

"Extending the bush tax cuts for the rich": Get a clue! Get a clue---Get a clue!!! They voted twice to stop the extending on the bush tax cuts for the rich----it failed TWICE!!!! It was not about to pass---because there were Senate Dems and House Reps who were against it. I don't know how... many times this needs to be said. It had no backing!!! There was nothing to do. Then the Senate Dems weren't making any moves. Resulting---in the expiration on tax cuts for the middle class. Why?! Because tax cuts for the rich is cannot be separated by tax cuts for the poor---when it comes to Bush's tax cuts. What does that mean!? Bush tax cuts are NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE when it comes to the top 2% and the 98% lower. So what does that mean?! He wanted to get things done and protected for us lower people the best he can before the Christmas time. You on the other hand...think he's a failure.

"Continuing 2 wars"----What the fuck?! It's a well known fact that the war in Iraq is basically over. I believe it was around 150,000 soldiers moved out if not more in August. We have the rest of them leaving next year and the beginning of the soldiers removal in Afghanistan next year. He can't just say we're gonna stop the wars when we left a lot of shit fucked up. You people want another Pakistan from the 80s and more shame on the US. We leave now and we leave a mess in our wake. What do you want to say to the millions of people we killed over there?! Sorry---latas?! Shit takes time and he's taking them out. And if you're wondering about Afghanistan...it was on Rachel Maddow's show--she reported this. So he's not continuing them, continuing them---he's bringing them to a conclusion in a safe way.

"Keeping Gitmo open" ---How often do you come on DU? Didn't you see the article of Obama trying to get money from Congress so he can open a maximum security prison in Illinois but was shot down by Congress. Yes, they did. They wouldn't give him the money so he can move those prisoners. All of Congress---dem and goddamned Repub alike turned on him and said they don't want terrorists in Gitmo in their maximum security Prisons. He wants to shut it down and then create a special prison---he got shot down. What do you want him to do with the terrorists. Put them in the White Houses backyard?! Dudes...man, get your goddamned facts before you spout shit.
