obama tries to please everyone in order to gain support and as a resulthe's not just losing the "leftist" democrats, but hes also not pleasing the republicans either. in the next election he's going to lose out on some moronic republican because he betrayed the people who actually voted him for change (and not just an empty slogan). to be honest tho i dont know why the republicans hate him tho hes basically like another version of bush (tho far more articulate)
Obama cost the Dems huge losses in the midterm elections because he catered to the Left too much. Have you ever seen someone lose this much popularity in such a short time in office? This now has to be a record, and it's still crumbling. I am too embarrassed to tell anyone I voted for this clown. He doesn't have a clue!
@TheJaychristopher5 Agreed except Obama is a republican (or corpratist) and hates the left. He fought for no left positions. Primary in 2012, Obama is done.
@daswann14 You say he hates the left, but it seems he hates the right to, he does not defend the constitution or second amendment, in fact he was apologetic to Mexico when they asked him why he doesn't 'abolish' the second amendment, He doesn't want to secure the border or enforce our laws on illegal aliens (liberal) he seem to be against conservatism, and he slams on the bible on video, which is fine, but I'm just saying, he isn't a right winger, that's for sure. ,, So what is he?
Obama is a joke, now! Have you ever seen someone lose this much popularity in such a short time in office? This now has to be a record, and it's still crumbling. I am too embarrassed to tell anyone I voted for this clown. He doesn't have a clue!
Obama is not a liberal. He is a Socialist, a Statist and an arrogant politician. and you are no liberal either. According to the definition of a liberal , they oppose the use of arbitrary power against the weak and powerless. The only arbitrary power in our society is the Imperial Federal Goverment. You are a state fascist who believes your good idea entitles your ilk to seize the money of others because you " know what is good for them". ONLY LIBERTARIANS RENOUNCE THE RIGHT TO RULE OTHERS!
True Obama is not liberal which is why he cant be a socialist. I am a socail democrat and therefore quite liberal. Although I think that many libertarians are sensible it is a position that doesn't make much sense in America. Libertarians are true conservatives unlike republicans, which is good. But by being so opposed to government it makes no sense for one to want a leadership position. There has to be structure within a country it does not equal 'ruling.'
@daswann14 He (JonkevinCherry) is right, true liberal, classic liberals are against big dominating government just like conservatives are, really the word liberal has been tagged to a group of people who are in favor of dismantling the constitution and dismantling our sovereignty, if you are a classic liberal then you are against the neo-liberals. So am I.
@weseyedwalk I know. Kind of. Neo-liberals are the re-emergence of classic liberals, you may have a different definition which is fine, but I'm using David Harveys. I would make only one change to our constitution, adding a clean election funding bill of some sort. I am not a classic liberal. I am a progressive, very far left on the political spectrum. I am against anything against public works and realistic levels of government funding and taxes.
@daswann14 Ok but what 'SOME' liberals' (not you) are trying to liberate us from is our sovereignty, our freedoms and rights from the constitution, our ideology. There are even those out there who want to islamize America and make it shariah law compliant. I don't want any part of that 'liberalism' and I'm sure you don't either. They try to use us though, to get others out of the way. See left or right leaves two choices, but the problem is there are those off the spectrum completely.'Liberals'
@walktank43 "Ok but what 'SOME' liberals' (not you) are trying to liberate us from is our sovereignty, our freedoms and rights from the constitution, our ideology." Certainly, there are especially if you falsely believe people like Obama and Reid are liberal.
"There are even those out there who want to islamize America and make it shariah law compliant" No, I don't think so. That is just propaganda.
@walktank43 "See left or right leaves two choices, but the problem is there are those off the spectrum completely.'Liberals'" Like who? The right is far more extreme, there is no one representing the far left except for Bernie Sanders, and you could argue a few others like Franken. The right has Bachman, Palin, Limbaugh, Hannity, Perry, Cain, Paul, etc. Between them they would eliminate every government program, they're nuts. Those are the people way way at the end of the spectrum.
@daswann14 We gotta be careful of those who claim they are people like us, but really wolves in sheep's clothing. There active and sneaky. I'm not talking about republicans either, I'm talking about people that are not left or right, but something else entirely.
The answers to you questions about Obama, Simple. Like most politicians he says one thing and does another. Because he is the first "black" president, does not mean a thing. These puppets are cut from the same mold. Wise up. CHANGE????
Because you cant just say "I'm the president ill do what i want". Without compromise nothing gets passed. Besides that any initial draft put forth by Obama Has to be far from a far LEFT stance, otherwise he loses support from that party. So then he brings his ridiculous LIberal proposal to the Right wing, and they work out what should really happen. Right wing doesnt oppose just because it come from left, it is opposed because you have to make it something which can happen in reality.
You define yourself as "left of Lenin" and you're black.
That tells me that you are historically ignorant and suffer from strong delusions about Lenin, "leftism" and history, or you just hate black people, like Lenin did.
But you are right about "moderates" they are "liberal" some "issue" and "conservatives" on another.
Read some Marcus Garvey Black Man, and btw, who wrote that script you are reading from?
@CarryANationIII "Read some Marcus Garvey Black Man, and btw, who wrote that script you are reading from?" Revolutionary Suicide is my favorite book now that I've reread it. I'm not a huge Garvey fan, but he was a very important figure. I like Rustin, Randolph, Huey, Seale, Geronimo, etc. And I don't use a script dick.
How was Lenin racist? That's real ignorant, you probably heard that from some republican and took it as a fact. Lenin believed that the African countries should liberate themselves from the European powers, and believed that American Blacks can only truly liberate themselves with socialism...that's hardly 'racist".
He is not a dictator.He is one part of 4 of Government branches.Bush introduced a healthcare reform bill,but it was shot down by Congress in his second term.He should of tried it in his first term,but 911 took up too much time.Bush also tried to introduce a bill to reform Social Security,but was shot down.Speaking of that,why would you not think the Government would screw up the Heathcare when they screw up everything else?Do you want a FEMA running healthcare?Where's Bin Laden?
Dude the man isn't a liberal at all, i love obama but lets see the man for what he is , a centrist pussy who would rather bend to the will of others than push his plans forward. He needs to stop riding this bipartisan nonsense and see reason. The right is laughing at his every move and that is definitely not a good look.
wow, finally someone understands how much power the president really "doesnt" have at all, as long as a "congress" the "senate" and "representatives" continue to disagree about laws, then who knows when the right one will pass, and you dont think the liberals or republicans or whoever wants obama to fail know this?????? they would rather watch him fail then help the american citizens, oh and of course keep their pockets fat.
What sucks is that we have two parties in control of the government instead of the people, and to keep their power (as an ability to get things done, not to oppress) they have to make compromises all the time to appease their party and what results from that is indecision and inaction.
exactly, as long as there are only "2 parties" in control of this country and not the people then who knows when this country will finally "live in harmony", too many people in congress are doing or saying nothing about improving America because of their"party" and would rather follow the leader than become the leader and speak for the people who dont have a voice in congress, i know is im proud to be neither democraf or repubican b/c between the 2 they are too things i agree/disagree on
so why decide between the two? i try my best to remain "objective" or "nuetral" so i can be "open-minded" about someone elses views, i just wish politicians could be a little open-mined, but then i guess they wouldnt be a politian anymore would they?LOL
I'm not really against political parties, but I am against their very rooted idea that if you don't agree with everything the majority of the party does, you're not a "REAL" member. For example, my state's senators are both republican women, but they have very unique political views and the other reds insult them for it. What's really odd is that one of them, Olympia Snowe, is one of the most powerful senators, and I think it's partly because she's not so afraid of her party.
true, but he only had enough power that "Congress" gave him, whether he mad bad decisions are not, someone was feeding into what he was saying, all those people in the House of Resprensentatives and the Senate were agreeing with these polices but now since everything in this country has hit the fan, some of them are trying to claim they werent with Bush but they supported him like 90%, for example John McCain, poor man i wish he would have won back in 2000, he think he was better back then
obama tries to please everyone in order to gain support and as a resulthe's not just losing the "leftist" democrats, but hes also not pleasing the republicans either. in the next election he's going to lose out on some moronic republican because he betrayed the people who actually voted him for change (and not just an empty slogan). to be honest tho i dont know why the republicans hate him tho hes basically like another version of bush (tho far more articulate)
