[QUOTE="804brown, post: 949109, member: 29553"] First, you can still blame the former administration when his huge treasury depleting tax cuts are still in place, when his 2 treasury depleting wars are still going on, and when his deregulation induced policies crashed the economy is still recovering. Over the last 3 yrs obama has focussed on fixing those problems: passed a modest stimulus which did help us recover, passed a romney like health care reform plan which will be in full force by 2014, he passed financial reforms to attempt to re regulate wall st. As for suppression, again it is about contraception not religious freedom. Reasonable people have seen through the right's bogus attempt to attack obama as anti religion. As for forcing people to get health care, romney forced all his citizens to get health care too. Im "forced" to have medicare and social security taxes taken out . How totalitarian !! How tyrannical!! I think it is all about how this supreme ct interprets the commerce clause. As for czars, well that car czar helped save our auto industry. But i guess to you ideolgues, getting the job done doesnt count. Because it is all about the ideology with the wing nuts. Ideological purity over fixing the problem. On the gas "crisis" (you do know we are now a net oil EXPORTER for the time in 50 yrs!!),if obama threatened action against the wall st speculators, i will bet you the right would have called that TYRANNICAL!! As for keystone, that oil can still be trucked into this country. Those construction jobs would have been temporary and not as many as the industry claimed either. As for pointing fingers, obama has bent over backwards to try to be bi partisan but was stopped at every point by a very ideological opposition who thought (and still thinks) he is illegitimate and will stop at nothing to make him fail or be perceived as a failure. That is why he is supported by 50% of the population and the repub led congress is supported by about 11%. The right can NEVER be satiated: when obama leads he is taken to be a tyrant; when he cooperates, they move the goal posts on him. It helps the repub base but it alienates independents and that is what decides elections. [/QUOTE]
