ENOUGH OF THIS GOVERNMENT BY DOW! because the next round of bank rescue will be released on Thursday. Maybe. Or maybe he has come to realize that if you don’t have a sound working banking system, despicable as the banking honchos might be, you will inevitably end up with this:
-- more after the jump --
Of course that might be supplanted by a rant against President Obama because he is doing what the American People want: trying to bring us together as a Nation again. Or one of the incredibly talented front pagers will excite us with an ironic diary asserting that President Obama has finally listened to us, US, the geniuses at Daily Kos, and gone out on the road to "blast", "lambaste", "destroy", "ruin", (choose an exaggerated expletive) the Republicans, never again to go down the dreaded road of "bi-partisanship".
NOTE TO FRONTPAGERS: The natives are getting restless. The Obama bashing needs to stop. People are getting tired of it and you don’t seem to have gotten a clue. But look at some recent diaries:

President Obama is NOT an idiot. He is NOT ignorant. He is NOT incompetent. He will NOT cave in and listen to the unsolicited advise on Daily Kos. Indeed, I seem to remember that he wrote a diary that was highly critical of positions espoused by diarists on this site a couple of years ago when Democrats were being attacked for a vote that none of us even remembers now.
President Obama has HUGE problems to solve. He has to find a way to get things through the Senate. He has to find a way to make it clear that blind opposition will be counterproductive. We forget that the so-called Democratic Senate of the past Congress has taken a LOT of blame for the Congress being a do-nothing Congress. Republicans, as we have already seen, are in a position, abetted by some of our stellar Democrats that Kos likes to think of as "better than the alternative" when they really aren’t, to cause incredible mischief. I am certain that President Obama knew that coming in. I am certain that President Obama knew that he would have to let this play itself out for a while so that Republican obstructionism became vividly clear.
I am equally certain that President Obama is going to turn the heat up on some of the Republicans in the Senate like Specter, Snow, Collins, Burr and anyone else in a blue or purple state who wants to keep her/his seat. I am sure that his strategy is to win a real bipartisan majority in the Senate and that his tactic has been to let people see clearly who the obstructionists are. That seems to be working:

Many of us seem to have just stopped posting for one reason or another. A common thread in the comments when we do post seems to be "I can’t figure out what this diarist is trying to say" which seems to mean in many cases: "I have my fingers in my ears ‘cause I don’t want to hear that."
Finally, I want to second another of today’s rec’d diaries:

Let’s start supporting President Obama the way we can: contact the Congress Critters to let them know that we are blaming THEM for the failure to:
a. save American jobs
b. get Universal Health Care
c. repair our infrastructure
d. fix our schools
e. hold those responsible for the collapse of the economy responsible
f. (add your own pet peeve)
