Look, I am not on either side. Obama inherited a really shitty lot from Bush. But Obama is not what was advertised. The health reform promised was not what was delivered. He has done nothing to ween us off our dependency on oil. If he were truly the revolutionary that he purported to be he would make alternative fuels a priority in his administration and not pay lip service to the idea. Healthcare can NEVER be reformed as long as trial lawyers have unfettered access to the financial pillars of the healthcare system. This is not rocket science, but you can not get that far into this game unless you play ball with oil and trial lawyers... hell, probably 80% of congress are lawyers.... what does that tell you?
I know many people are invested in the dem-rep struggle. But if you look at things going on for what they are and take off the donkey or elephant cheerleeding outfit, the base solutions aren't that difficult. The guys in washington will always make it seem more complicated than it really is because it is in their best interests to do so.
