Watered down some more.

The unemployment compensation extenstion to happen today is good for those in need. However, this bill began with some real plans for job creation. In an effort to break the Republican filibuster, the Democrats again allowed for a watered down bill, inclusive of nothing else except the extension and again will have little support from the obstructionist party. So what is being accomplished? Not what we need. President Obama needs to spend almost all of his time calling the Republicans out as he promised to do. President Obama has to rail against watered down legislation and remind Americans that they voted for aggressive change. President Obama needs to get back his groove and stick it to the obstructionists, tea party racists, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, John Boehner, Mich McConnell and Michael Steele. Call them out for what they are...true power hungry partisan charlatans with nothing but their own interests in mind. They care not one iota for America. They continue to lie, obstruct and convince a weary public through sound bytes that the Democrats are bad. They continue to deny their own culpability and responsibilty for our woes and are winning the PR battle. If the President doesn't get out there and pound these people, not only will legislation continue to be watered down and not do what we need, but so too will his Presidency and the Democratic Congress. Where are you Americans for Reason and Truth?

  1. I have to blame the voters. Their idea of 'balanced govt.' is electing one party to the White House & then election another party to the senate/congress. Thus, watered down legislation.

  2. Did you know that most Americans think the bailout for the banks was started by Obama? They don't know that the crisis started while Bush was in office. (I was in favor of the bailouts.) How's that for spin?
