Isn’t the totality of Congress’ ineffectiveness to be laid solely at Mr. Obama’s feet? Who is the leader of the Democratic Party? What does HE really want to accomplish? A few of you might say it’s too early to hold our President accountable, but I think he’s had ample time and ample issues to stand up to the ideals he campaigned on. He’s FAILED on his promises, over & over he’s FAILED on his promises.
My guess is Mr. Obama’s over-arching drive in life is to be accepted by those few people whom he believes truly shape the fabric of our country. Face it folks, we were had. Forget the guy we thought we voted for, that guy’s an illusion. What we have in the Oval office is a MUCH smarter & MUCH savier version of Clarence Thomas.
