President Obama is committed to creating the most compromising administration in American history. That begins with taking comments and questions from Republicans, not the public, and thoroughly compromising on everything.
How many of you libs out there are having buyer's remorse? If so, may I recommend a product called, "The Obama Bumper Sticker Removal Kit," or "O- B.S. Removal Kit" for short - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=201pgTaEseQ
Seriously, below is what Walter Russell Mead wrote in The American Interest on Nov. 6:
"Many of our nation's intellectual leaders wonder why the rest of the country isn't more respectful of their claims to be guided by and speak for the cool voice of celestial reason. That so many of them gushed over Barack Obama with all of the profundity of reflection and intellectual distance of tweeners at a Justin Bieber concert should help them understand why their claims of superior wisdom are sometimes met with caustic cynicism.
A significant chunk of the American liberal intelligentsia completely lost its head over Barack Obama. They mistook hopes and fantasies for reality. Worse, the disease spread to at least some members of the White House team. An administration elected with a mandate to stabilize the country misread the political situation and came to the belief that the country wanted the kinds of serious and deep changes that liberals have wanted for decades...
They did not perceive just how wrong they were; nor did they understand how the error undermined the logical case they wanted to make in favor of a bigger role for government guided by smart, well-credentialed liberal wonks."
Ya know, I THOUGHT I voted for Barack Obama, the leader. Apparently, I voted for Barry the wuss. This man is so afraid of confrontation that he lets people walk all over him. Being a Leader is certainly about negotiation, but sometimes being a Leader is also saying screw you, I'm going to do it my way. While I have no doubt that BO is well versed in the compromise, he has proven that he has no guts for facing down his opposition. I'm disgusted and fed up with this so called "leader", and next time, I plan to vote for anyone else, except this gutless wonder.
At this point, it doesn't matter who you vote for when the time comes. Anyone who actually believed electing Obama was going to somehow heal the nation must have failed to notice its life's blood pooling around their feet. So many of your 'leaders' on both sides of aisle are so deep in the pockets of special interest groups that America can hardly be called a Democracy any more. Your two party system leaves you with a choice between the chronically dishonest and ineffective or the greedy and clinically insane, the 'change' both sides offer left wholly vulnerable to the whim of those who paid to see them in power. All the while media moguls and their pocket-pundits peddle confusion, distraction, and outright nonsense while calling it Truth, which a sad majority of americans choose to buy into.
Even those in office who are legitimately trying to do the right thing and make sound fiscal choices are caught in the trap of modern Economics, falsely portrayed as a precise science when in reality it more closely resembles a kind of numerical mysticism... a system which even those most learned in it don't wholly understand anymore, but who still preach its infallibility with nothing but faith. Those in office rely on these mathematical shaman to steer them in the right path, while in truth they're putting their trust in the same people who helped arrange the bargain sale of America's assets.
So go ahead. Vote Palin, or whoever else the Republicans offer up as the new 'Hope'n'Change'. Its all just a side-show on a sinking ship.
Wonderful perspective. Don't get us wrong. Blue or red and
everything in between, we do care. However, the multinationals
are the government and they own our Democratic Republic along
with a few other super powers around the globe.
I wholly agree that neither political party can be trusted in power. It doesn't matter who is running the ship, because as Lord Acton admonished us, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely... There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it."
Therefore, we need to get back to the strict limitations placed on the federal government per the U.S. Constitution. Here's the problem, though:
Republicans (correctly) chant the mantra of "limited government," but they don't practice what they preach. Empirically speaking, they grow Leviathan as much as Dems do.
Dems advocate "social justice," the welfare state as a remedy, and wealth redistribution (i.e., legalized plunder) as the means to this end. What Dems fail to recognize is that this requires giving Uncle Sam inordinate amounts of power, and we know how power corrupts even the most benevolent, well-meaning souls.
There is a third way, and it is called libertarianism.
While so many pundits pontificate endlessly, hammering and yammering all over the place, once again Fiore hits the nail right the first time and drives it home.
May I recommend that Fiori fans forward this video to Obama via http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact . The more of us who do so, the more likely it will reach him.
We the people of the United States of America form this Liberal Democratic Party of the United States of America for the promotion of a progressive agenda for America.
We generally support the candidates that run in the regular Democratic party. We do not run candidates. We do not handle money. Our power comes from the unionization of our party members who tell GOP contributors and other regressive contributors that either you get the House and Senate and the President to enact our party platform at the present point into law or you lose our business as consumers.
Party members will send the party agenda by email to these GOP and regressive contributors.
Imagine it and it will happen.
The Republican party appears weak and vulnerable at the cash registers of those companies that give money to them.
Compromise, the only compromise is the one they did with the health care industry. I don't know if letting them (the HMO providers) write most of the bill is compromise or sell out.
Taking guns off the streets works so well in Mexico, why not? Hey with the open border we have with Mexico we can have the same Mexican drugs gangs up here running the streets (they do already). When Mexican skinheads flash their gang signs at me fondling my 45 makes me feel warm inside. I'm sure the cops will be there just in time to draw a pretty white line around your body. I guess the 2nt Amendment the Constitution doesn't mean anything to the modern liberal he feels safe when big government is protecting them from themselves. Why are we still in those bogus wars? You see there is no difference between the Republicans and the Democrats they serve the same masters wake up! On the real issues they the Democans are on the same page and are only playing good cop bad cop.

I was kinda enjoying the visual aid to future Americans. Oh well, at least we can give America a few more years before the eventual collapse from the paying for the welfare state and policing the world.
I was disappointed by last week's elections, and as is usual, our highly diplomatic President is compromising once again. I wish he would kick some Republican butt. He always takes the high road though, unlike his foes.
I am always disgusted by the comments left by conservatives that personally attack the President,,,whether it's purposely mis-pronouncing his name, calling him a name, what have you, when the truth of the matter - President Obama is 10x smarter, kinder, and more respectful than all of you combined.
Dems controlled the White House, the House of Representatives, and they had a filibuster proof majority in the Senate. With the exception of the Supreme Court (of which Dems have at least 4/9ths control, and sometimes a 5-4 majority depending on what side of the bed Justice Kennedy wakes up on), they had complete control of the federal government. Therefore, Dems didn't need to compromise with Republicans to pass their socialist / statist agenda.
It is time for lame-brained liberals to stop making excuses and accept the fact that their policies have been a complete failure.
Now that Our Dear Leader Maobama has been neutered by the House of Reps., the title of Public Enemy (to Liberty) #1 has been bestowed on Ben Bernanke. Get ready for rampant inflation folks; the ultimate hidden, regressive tax on the poor and financially unsophisticated.

Keynes noted that the best way to destroy capitalism was to destroy its currency. any wonder the liberals want to print and borrow more and more for crack addicts in public housing?
Crack addicts or pensions or working traffic lights doesn't much matter at this point.
California as a state is chronically incapable of spending less than it earns. The difference is now coming out of federal coffers, which themselves are so overdrawn that new treasury issuances are wholly monetized.
The result, as the original poster points out, is inflation. The most regressive tax there is.
Mr. Fiore's toons suggest US taxation is bottom-heavy. It's beyond me how "if only the stimulus had been larger" lamentations find their way into his work.
We've lost a golden oppertunity to fix America and bring us into the 21st century.
We lost the oppertunity to make the wealthy pay their share of taxes, we lost the oppertunity to use those taxes to repair our infrasturcture, our roads and bridges and fix our failing schools. We lost our oppertunity also to put that money to use to provide for people's needs such as healthcare, housing, and public works jobs for those who have lost theirs.
We have lost the oppertunity to take guns off our streets and away from our communities and made sure that they were only available for law enforcement licensed security guards and the military ONLY.
We lost the oppertunity to end the unjust war in the Middle East and to put an end to empire and use that money for bombs guns and tanks and jets for programs for the sick, the poor and needy.
We lost the oppertunity to provide clean energy and clean drinking water and a cleaner planet for our children.
We lost the oppertunity to hold accountable polluting money laundering outsourcing and cheating CEOS and corporations for their actions that have brought us chaos and despair
We lost the oppertunity to restore checks and balances that have been undermined by the patriot act and by the Bush administation. We also lost the oppertunity to repair all of the damages to our economy by the same administation.
We lost the oppertunity to transition America from a nation of warmongering empire a nation that is nationalist close minded and hated around the world into a nation of enlightenment and freedom. A shining city on a hill that we once were that nations used to look upon as a standard as a hope.
We lost the oppertunity to restore fairness and openess to our airwaves, our chance to allow both sides of the coin instead of just what corporate media elites like Rush, Hannity and Savage want us to hear.

I see. Obama's party got stomped because he compromised too much with those who stomped him in the last election prior to the vote. That makes perfect sense. That is Mr. Dan / Dog Boy logic.

How long will it take to put in a substitute with the necessary character to repair all the damage that has been done and is still being done. And that, world wide.

Precisely.
Though note that you're now in Fioreland, where the stimulus must be larger, the debts more unpayable, the monetization more pronounced.
After all, we should expect nothing but the finest in financial obliviousness from the unrepentant editorialists of the Lindsay Lohan State.
Mr. Fiore's a reasonable fellow. We'll bring him around yet. ;)
