I did, and I don’t totally agreed with his article.

He is listening to Summers how is giving all the wrong advice on hoe to deal with wall street and the banks.

Read Robert Scheer’s article.

Whom do you think he should have appointed for all the positions that you don’t agree with?

Again, patience and wisdom go together, like Calcium and Vitamin D.

I know Obama never promised a single payer system, however he did promise to fix the health care mess. He has also said that single payer is of the table recently. Wen during the campaign when asked about single payer he was more inclined to say he would look at all options.

Of course fools like me read this as a maybe or a yes.

We can sit at our desks and post and counter-post all day long. The issues as I see them, and most progressives is that Obama has set himslef up for a huge failure on two fronts. One is health care and the other as we can see is the economy.

Summers and Geitner were, are the wrong picks for this crisis.

Read today’s Washington Post:

We need to start voting for those who reflect our views, instead of this disconnect/dissonance between our views and who we vote for. Some consistency and alignment between thoughts and actions will go ways to change this world for the better.

Insulting me for having an opinion shows me that your kind of needing some wisdom yourself, grow up.

I voted for Obama because I thought he was a progressive who would work hard to change this countries health care debacle. He is not even going to deal with it. Single payer is not even being discussed. They will not get it solved.

His Treasury Department has not been cooperating with Elizabeth Warren’s efforts to oversee the project of investigating the financial collapse.

I voted for him because I thought he would work to bring back some kind of regulatory sensibility to our financial system.

Did you read Robert Scheer’s article? Are so blinded by your zeal that your going to be saying this mantra over and over again? It’s only been 4 months give him a chance. When we get to 18 months and we have a larger mess then we have now and your still telling people to “believe in him” what then?

I’m not asking him to move mountains, I’m only asking him to hire the right people for the job.

Lilya I never said I like Richard Halbrook, in fact he is arrogant and probably the wrong man for the job.
I was only trying to point out that most of these people are dirty and up to their waist in cow poo.

so please have some “wisdom” like Obama possesses.

You sound just like the product of this American society, NO PATIENCE, FAST TURN AROUND FROFIT! People like you, saying “well, I also voted for him”, sound like you did him a favor to do “everything” based on your agenda. But you can’t see a bigger picture, which he has done A LOT since he took office.

You imagine he will just go into white house to sweep every bad things away overnight, without considering all the risk and opponents force pulling from all directions. He is trying very hard to battle this “deep rooted” problem, people like you judging his work so early are BLIND. He is in the Washington “jungle”, it is so naive not to see he also has to play their games at times to get things done.

Obama use a really good analogy for what he’s trying to do —– it is a OCEAN FREIGHT LINER, you don’t turn it around instantly, but it is geared toward the right direction, so please have some “wisdom” like Obama processes.

I’m not sure what “neo-con money-loving idiologs” mean in this context other than it’s an attempt to use as many adjectives as you can in one sentence.

I would love to use the right adjective, but I cannot use in this forum – nothing dirty, though. It is one of those “taboo” things that we cannot talk about publicly.

Wondering if you figured out why Richard Halbrook is “the wrong” pick for that Afghanistan/Pakistan Post?

i think your partly wrong about obama, everyone must know or have a reasonable guess that, obama cannot get everything done the way u like it or the way he himself would like. (cant win every battle pick and choose)but u can the war.

I believe that the real push for reform from obama will be after his second term in office. but still a better pick than mccain and palin,

As for lynne, when captilism is feeding on itself in order to make great wealth for a few,while taking away from others it is a problem..025 percent loans from the government(tax payers money)to 20 to 30 percent to the public.

As in the past like AT&T and Oil, railroads and such it was always safe-guards in place to stop meagers that would give them the to big to fail mentality and too much consolidated power. yet was systemitically reversed for banks, and this is what happen because of this. they use the whole of americans to get want they want against the common good for all. one goal was to move our pensions to the market inwhich they did. we see the results.

Can’t agree more.

He wont ask Summers or Geitner to step down and has in fact added more players from the group that were part of the Clinton administration.

I’m not sure what “neo-con money-loving idiologs” mean in this context other than it’s an attempt to use as many adjectives as you can in one sentence.

I really wanted to believe in Obama but he is proving week after week that he is no different than any other politician. As for congress, I hold them in contempt.

He personally, understands the whole picture. It is “our” job clean the idiot neo-con money-loving idiologs around him.

If he does the real change thing, they will bring him down.

All debt should be forgiven and no more issued; that is, no more credit cards or mortgages. People are incapable of using either responsibly. Mortgage interest deductibility is a huge scam created by the realtors and real estate attorneys. We would be better served forcing people to live within their means. Life is not about a giant flat screen TV.
