Occupy Underground

with the Repub Congress stonewalling everything....

that said, i find his not going after the banksters, not fighting for single-payer, continued foreign military expansion (just in a modified form), failure to close Guantanamo, these trade agreements, expansion of spying on everyone, etc....all of these are supposedly offset by the mere mention of the 'good' things...

it is a form of acceptance that encourages further empowerment of the PTB, the 1%, to continue the status quo and direct as much of the wealth of this country, and all countries in fact, to themselves and their corporations...and the rest of us be damned...

he has been a good President, all in all...but after the Bush years it was a low bar, and Obama was able to talk his way over that bar...he really didn't have to leap...
