Yep, I said it.
The big O - done. Gone. Go. Git.
That works if you're a little picture guy. The guy that wants their news catered and crafted. It's the kind of real meal you can expect from canned processed meat and starched, over preserved side-dishes.
Folks that want to decry the work Obama has done really elect to avoid looking at the big picture. For the last 6 years - there has been continual obstructionism.
Deny that if you want - but in no other period of our time has a Congress been so inept and putting self-preservation interests above the national interest.
It's disingenuous to blame Obama and conveniently ignore the role of Conservatives have played in this mess.
For folks blaming Obama - I ask: "how do we know that his policies would've failed when we have a Republican Party that's set out to stop anything he does before it even becomes law?"
It's why we have a broken health care system - because Republicans want to brand Obama with that boondoggle. Nevermind what's best for Americans - they were out to make sure it wasn't a Democrat that did it. Same thing now with immigration reform and with banking regulations which help us - while finally addressing the real problems.
It's become apparent that no one in Washington wants anything done. Obama's first moves to try and reconcile the parties made him look weak. And that was an irrecoverable error on his part.
So pardon my disgust the next time I drive by your anti-Obama sticker only to raise my hand in the form of an L and place it on my forehead. Because if you're really going to blame Obama - it's time to start bearing some of the responsibility for why things didn't materialize like they should've.
