I didn't know I lived in Stalinist Russia and am not allowed to criticize Obama if I want to be considered a "progressive," let alone a "liberal" or a "Democrat," although one can argue with a straight face Obama is not at least two of the three.
While it is true Obama has been in office a mere ten months and perhaps one should cut him a tiny bit of slack, the fact is he is botching the opportunity to actually make real change in this country and appears to be employing the "business as usual" approach. Case in point: Not proposing a jobs program for the growing numbers of jobless immediately upon taking office. Instead, Wall Street received obscene amounts of money. Instead, months have been wasted on something considered a luxury for people like me who need work now, and that's health insurance reform.
Ditto for Congress. In fact, double, triple, and quadruple for those morons in both political parties.
The problem with Obama is with his priorities, and that stems from his lack of political and legislative experience upon taking office.
What frightens me is he may be a one-term president, and then we are REALLY going to be screwed.
