Let's face it, the Democrats in Washington are an impotent joke. The corporate interests so threatened by the coming of the Democrats and the their super majority, are now sitting back laughing. "What were we worried about again?" An inspired speaker with a great intellect, Obama is just not a leader. He is being run by his cabinet and chief of staff, and therefore the special interests that run them. He is slowly abandoning the hope and change he convinced us was just round the corner. Several of today's headlines just hit home on this issue.
Wall Street bankers were really going to get it this time, or not! Obama stood up by Bankers He doesn't even command enough respect for these arrogant SOB's to show up for a meeting on the issue. He is not a concern for them, and clearly they are not worried about the repurcussions of ignoring him. Why should they be? Joe Lieberman has been a nemesis of Obama and Democrats for the last 4 years. What's his punishment for constantly undermining and theatening key democratic legislation. Remove his chairmanship - no, not quite. They bow to the whims of this loathsome troll over and over. With Rahm leading the procession. Rahm Emanuel personally pressed Reid to cut deal with Lieberman WTF? Are you kidding me. The President's Chief of Staff strong arming the leadership to appease a guy whose only apparent mission is to undermine liberals. Lieberman says public support caused him to oppose Medicare Buy-in So this guy is ripping this legislation apart, at the expense of the American people, and our fearless leaders respond with appeasement.
It sometimes seems like a cruel joke. I passed frustration a long time ago. These days I just sit in stunned silence as this disaster unfolds. Every day it seems I see another picture of some executive or republican tool with that confident smirk that says: "Hah - we have nothing to worry about."
