I have tried and tried and tried to put some sanity into
the reasoning of President Barack Obama. We get our butts handed to us which is not unusual in midterms but to let the right start dictating the mandate and they did, and
this president at this time to take the Bush tax cut repeal off the table or even consider it, is mind boggling. I don't get it.I don't get it. We worked and campaigned and said we would hold feet to the fire but we keep getting dismissed. Has the right threatned to eat all

of our first born children or what could he possibly be thinking. I don't know why he is allowing the people who hate him the most to tell him what to do. We are suffering and taxes must be high enough to meet the needs to keep a country running. Wall street soared today. The Rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.
He needs a shakeup in the cabinet. Tim Geithner need to go. Gates needs to go. Tim Kaine needs to go.

At what point does the base approach the president and say.
ENOUGH ........We believed in your promises. We believed in your intelligence....We believed in your hope......What the hell happened? Is this job just too big for you?......
People say nuance and I say compromising is beginning to look like weakness. I am tired of making apologies for a man who only tries to show apppreciation at election time and what was it that Reverand Wright said, "He is a politician". President Obama....get this through your head, you could offer up everything you own or ever hope to own and all of the generations to come owns and they will never accept you or like you and besides...we did not get you elected to cater to the right. Socialism? Oh well
if I were in your shoes I would show he right socialism. Every single American would get a check for a million dollars and a new car. Cheaper than a bailout.
I hate this kind of diary but when I heard that he is considering extending the Bush tax cuts all I saw was red and green for the rich.
People...we have to acknowledge that WE put this president in the white house. Between Lieberman and all the cut throats, someone, somewhere, and I say all of us need to stand up to this administration and say ...Forget trying to untax people and put some food on the table and keep lights on and people in their homes. Knock it off, Mr. President. We no longer have Feingold or Grayson, so MAN UP Mr. President (since you like the right talking points so well) and get your base out from under the bus and realize just where your bread is buttered. I am not extreme left. I am a relative moderate dem. This is pure BS.
Rant over.
Flame away.
