90. Obama Criticized
Obama remains the hope. If he were a dictator, I would have a problem with him. What I don't like is the conversations that start from the republican angle. No one writes their checks thinking about the national debt crisis. He has maintained the tax cuts under the threat of losing unemployment benefits. The cut in benefits would have been devastating for those dependent. Obama is practical and doesn't wage fights on what he knows he can't achieve. Votes have never been there in the "majority" Congress he had. What I don't understand is why some Congress people register as Democrats. It would be better to know who is truly on your side rather than the Nelson's or Landrum's who occupy the position.

The Supreme Court is the most important reason to have Obama in the White House or all of us will face draconian laws in the future. They put Bush in the WH and call corporations people. This has changed the dynamics of American politics more than any laws since the Voting Rights Act...and now, they are trying to rescind those.

Criticize and bring the topics that are of our interest, but, FDR didn't resolve the Depression in 3 years as you suggest. It took government spending and WW ll to bring economic prosperity. You want to bring the troops home, please, make sure they have a job when they return or you will see that number rise.
