I'm not particularly a fan of Barack Obama. In many ways he's not much different from G.W. Bush, Clinton, daddy Bush, Reagan, Ford, Nixon, and on back. (I didn't mention Carter because he, I don't believe, was or is a bad person, but he sure bungled a lot of things). I don't think Obama is inherently a bad man, but I think he has either been bought off...or scared off...his progressive agenda.
What really ticks me off are the Republicans, particularly those bozos in the "Tea Party." At least inspired by neocon Dick Armey, these fools don't even know enough about basic politics to decide if Obama is a "Socialist" or a "Fascist," since they call him both.
Under the best of circumstances, Obama had a big mess to pick up after Bush and his henchmen got through with this country. Now, working through the hapless stooges of the Tea Party, they once again have a venue in which to whine about not getting their way. "I want my country back!" is one of their shrieks. Hey, right wing idiots: IT'S NOT YOUR COUNTRY. IT BELONGS TO ALL OF US!
And I, for one, will continue putting people before profits. This post on the Daily Kos sums it up for me, except I prefer to show more respect for the word "Fuck."
