Reposting from the "Review Obama!" thread: Coming from the Left I am completely underwhelmed and disappointed, for exactly the opposite reasons designbot and other right leaning people are. Stimulus? Too fucking small. Obamacare? Half-ass compromise that will do nothing except complicate shit and ultimately still fill the healthcare industries coffers. He toadies up to the finance corporations, continuing the Bush corporate welfare while fucking the common good. Stopping war? I don't see any bases leaving Iraq and Afghan is escalating for what? So we can use illicit heroin drug smuggling money to feed NSA/CIA secret ops? Fail. He's got nice rhetoric, and his symbolic role as the first black pres does some good, but he's punching over his weight. Your party has the White House and a overwhelming majority in the Congress and you STILL can't get the shit you promised through? Then when are you going to do it then? My hope is basically shot. I'm awaiting the coming Rightwing pushback and it's going to be ugly and violent and only serve the corporate interests even more with private security and surveillance. America is fucking done. Over. Insert fork. The only thing that could save America from becoming a fascist state is a dose of socialism, which oddly enough is exactly what the elites and the rubes think is what's wrong. Fucking ironic. Obama is just a wishy-washy middle of the road compromiser.

- Thanks for not calling me a "right winger"...."right leaning" is much more accurate :)designbot
- I don't see how you think more spending with a bigger stimulus or more in depth health plan would solve anything.designbot
- Much of the stimulus was just filled with pet bullshit projects anyhow. I am still waiting for inflation to really set in, it is going to get really bad.designbot
- really bad.designbot
