Justis Steel: Perhaps this will make you feel better; although Obama did say in his book “I happen to be a Democrat.” Implying he had to go with one party.

And for his broken promises, he can thank it a great part “The party of ‘no'”

I’m not going to give Obama and the democrats an easy pass (“And for his broken promises, he can thank it a great part “The party of ‘no’”).
The truth is that the Democrats made it too easy for the Republicans. They managed to cram the Health Care bill through, even though it wasn’t (isn’t?) that popular. Yet at the same time, instead of forcing Republicans to vote against a strong Financial Reform Bill, the created a much weaker bill, that still doesn’t even end too-big-too-fail. Another examle is extending the middle-class tax cuts. This would pass easily (who would vote against it?), yet they are postponing it until after the election, when they will have less votes, thus allowing the Republicans to extend the tax cuts to the rich as well.
BTW, I don’t think that the rich should pay more than their fair share. I DO belive that they already pay LESS than their fair share. This is because the “inflation tax” weighs down heavily on the middle and lower classes, while the upper classes get reimbursed (and more!) through inflated asset prices.
ebdoug, yeah i’m not totally blaming obama, or any single person. i know it takes an entire government to get it right. i just don’t think there is room for anyone to get it right with the way the system is set up now. and in order to get the supporters it takes to get to these positions, all this compromise happens. like “i want a bill to save every homeless person. well i’ll make the bill to save half the homeless, and then vote on giving tax cuts to billionaires in order to get the votes my bill needs to pass.” too much moral compromise leads to a watered down, middle of the road stance. someone at some point has to stand up and stay in place to make things happen.
