Obama compromised everything to make good on his campaign promise of bi-partisanship. Rather than be a quality party of the people, the Republicans used that to weaken him, rather than strengthen the country. Putting themselves and their petty issues above your nation's interests. The Dems were little better in not standing stronger for what they believe in. The compromises to the healthcare bill, rendered it so much less valuable, all just to placate the Republicans who want to overturn it anyway. Any wish to do so without (based on their rhetoric) even a vote to see what the public truly wants. Skewed opinion polls do not count.
And all Obama wanted to do was something similar to what Ronald Regan and other past presidents wished to do. Ronald Regan, the Republican demi-god, who by their current, extreme right-wing standards, would have appeared left-wing.
- Sorry I fucked up my facts (damn whiskey) it was Richard Nixon (Rep) who proposed universal care. Sorry.ETM
- Put away your torches, I apologize.ETM
- Your point still stands. THe recession was still so bad in mid-terms the GOP was infected by the tea party...mikotondria3
- ...and that just caused the whole pres/house/senate thing to stagnate, like a blocked heart. We've all suffered since.mikotondria3
- And the general point that Regan's overall policy was still very leftist compared to today's Republican agenda.ETM
