Balls Cried the Queen

If I'd two, I'd be King.

This past Tuesday, I'd had enough.  So I sent off the following to the White House, which has a web page where you can write to Obama, with a 2,500 word maximum.  Sure.  You have to pick a subject, of which "You're a Dumb Shit" isn't a choice, so I picked Economy.


Well, not just the economy.  Fact is, you're displaying a level of gutlessness not seen since Carter; more gutless as the days go by.

For you, compromise is you reneging on your pledge and on those who voted for you.

At this point, it would have been better to have voted for McCain. Yes, he would have screwed things up such that the country would be worse off now.  BUT, it would be impossible for even thick headed rednecks to ignore who's responsible.  2010 would have ushered in a fully Democratic Congress, and 2012 a Democratic President (Hillary ?).  Your gutlessness has enabled and encouraged the Right Wingnuts to lie, cheat, and steal from under your nose; foisting responsibility on you. 

What, exactly, do you think this posture accomplishes.

So, today being Friday, it's Krugman time, and he expounds along the same lines.  It's increasingly clear that Obama was a horrible mistake.  "If you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one."  His avowed bi-partisanship depends on the Other Side being willing to compromise, if only a little.  How any sentient being could convince himself that the Right Wingnuts have anyone's interest at heart beyond the One Percenters is impossible to warrant.  He'll end up implementing the Right Wingnut agenda, making life worse for the Ninety Nine Percenters, and marking Democrats as the villains.

Such a fool.

And by the way, the jobs numbers:  Private payrolls went up by more that total payrolls, in other words, the Right Wingnuts will complain, but they're getting what they want, reduction in government employment.  Let's see if they admit that.
