Many of you know of when GOP "leader," Eric Cantor, said their attack on Obama would be Obama's, "Waterloo," and it would ruin him. Or when Mitch McConnell said the whole goal of the GOP was to make Obama a one-term president - (ergo, everything else on their agenda or lack thereof was subservient to this). Then there was the guy who shouted, "

Yeah, it is disgusting, I totally agree. Obama only said that about sitting down with Romney to try to win over the people that voted for him. He's trying to bridge the gap so that America can actually start functioning. I don't know if he can do it, but I'm proud of him for still trying, in spite of the abuse he has taken. The guy is a bright light in an otherwise dark time. At least we can be grateful of the outcome.

I have a gradually improved opinion of Obama, moreso than a few years ago. I do believe he is trying in many directions, despite many huge constraints most are not even aware of.

That Obama is a puppet of the system and the Dems there is no doubt. I detect that his willingness is partial. He struggles against it, then gives in. He didn't want to sell out to insurance on the healthcare bill, but that was the only way congress would pass it. The fact that the people are harshly divided, and the parties are both corrupt, is not his doing. Obama's efforts to unify us have been persistent since the beginning.

I didn't hear that Fresh Aire. Maybe I can pull it up. I think both dominant parties are responsible. The Dems orchestrated the 2008 financial bailout. The Reps are usually the pro-bank/spend thru megabiz ones, but now we know they are both on the same side.
