    will be pathetically and utterly powerless. Except for Obama.

    Let’s see what he does if republicans force through an HCR repealing bill and send it to him asking him to sign into law. Will he still preach bipartisanship with batshit crazy republicans? Will his bot followers still preach bipartisanship with batshit crazy republicans?

    War funding will continue to be a cakewalk.

    Torture will remain just ‘enhanced interrogation’. Someday Guantanamo will be closed. But not for many many years.

    Omar Khadr is in solitary confinement. You’re ‘safe’. Bush and Cheney are free men.

    Wall Street and the insurance companies will be just fine. Till everything holding them up collapses, and you pay.

    BP Beyond Pollution.  If corporations want to have the same rights as persons, they can have the same responsibilities as persons

  2. Obama conversed with ghosts, and while he dithered around we witnessed the greatest giveaway of political capital in modern American history.

    A Quixotic capitulation, a weakness of will, or maybe just an act to gain the praise of nobles? Personally, I think all three. Certainly his chosen group of confidants spoke volumes.

    And now Obama just plays the fool. He’s lost the little bit that even Hamlet retained in his soliloquy on impotentce:  A thought which quarter’d hath but one part wisdom and three parts coward

                I do not know why yet I live to say the thing’s to do sith I have cause, and will, and strenth and means to do it

    If Obama has any cause left, he certainly has given away any and all means to do it. Given this critical moment in the history of America and the opportunity to speak on behalf of Democracy herself and to carry the banner of the people, Obama quickly fell under the influence of his craven advisors, for to challenge the loyalty of his lieutenants and bankers was something most frightful to  contemplate for even an instant.
