Obama had all three houses of goverment and he did nothing except pass a badly flawed healthcare bill, but better than nothing. His stimulus was off target and to small. He let wall street not only walk away, but re-arm. If Romney gets in I expect things will get worse, meaner and riots. Maybe in 2016 the people will go for some real change.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162783936999869984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611409863712113861.post-23358295176559850712012-08-29T20:40:19.163-04:002012-08-29T20:40:19.163-04:00Chris Hedges would agree with much of what you say...Chris Hedges would agree with much of what you say, Kirby. He blames much of our present situation on the failure of the "liberal class" to counter the corporate agenda.<br /><br />That being said, though, it's clear that a Romney-Ryan victory would simply make matters worse -- universally.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611409863712113861.post-70480015222822913752012-08-29T20:00:03.944-04:002012-08-29T20:00:03.944-04:00Actually Sunsin - despite your nasty words like &q...Actually Sunsin - despite your nasty words like "ignoramus" I will address your abusive comments. Go back and read the Constitution, specifically Article II, Section I, Clause I, as well as Section V. <br /><br />It is clear that the president has executive powers that allowed him to close Guantanamo. And in fact the President mentioned those power on Meet the Press in the lead up to his nomination. <br /><br />It is his failure to act boldly on the real powers of the president that has made him a failure as president and is the reason that I suspect he will not get reelected. That is why The New Yorker (the most widely read leftist magazine in the US) suggested that Obama was more like a modern Hoover than FDR. <br /><br />Furthermore, Mr. Obama specifically designed a commercial insurance approach to healthcare that was the failure. And, in fact, Justice John Roberts decision demonstrates that taxation is specifically within the purview of government that became the issue. The problem that many people (on all sides of the spectrum) had with so-called Obamacare was that it made it 'illegal' not to buy health coverage. When Justice Roberts decision demonstrates that if Obama had, in fact, designed a truly national healthcare plan, a court challenge would have gone nowhere. <br /><br />NEXT TIME YOU IDLY CALL ME AN IGNORAMUS I WILL SIMPLY DELETE YOUR COMMENT!

It was Congress, by a near-unanimous vote, that refused to fund the transfer of the prisoners to a mainland US facility. <br /><br />Ignorance at that level makes everything else you say suspect. In general, you seem to think that the Presidency of the United States comes with a magic wand, and Obama has been perversely refusing to use it. In fact, the Presidency is in many ways more limited than a Prime Ministership in a Westminster system, because of the doctrine of the separation of powers. Even the very limited, compromised, and partial health care plan enacted ended up dependent on the whim of a single justice of the Supreme Court.sunsinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443195432340459630noreply@blogger.com
