Tax cuts? What a load of CRAP. What we NEED is national healthcare like HR 676.

But Obama has shown his hand. And he doesn’t give a crap about anyone but his own precious ego. And he’ll sell us down the river ALMOST as fast as the McSame/Palindrone juggernaut of death would have.

Will the Blue Dogs join with Repugs to continue eight years of Bush corporafornication? Stay tuned.

crap.

YOUTUBE Chalmers Johnson!!!!!

We have the internet these days. Arrangements we might not have cared about fifteen years ago are zeroed in these days. Obama set high very expectations and people like me are out to make sure he didn’t pad his resume. Some of you were insistent he had a trick up his sleeve with the selection of bigot Rick Warren — but he didn’t indicate that by giving his supporters the ethics talk, “disagree without being disagreeable.” No, Mr. President-elect, you’re expected to answer our questions, not brush those off who put you in office.

So BrianFL, I care more than ever about the government because (a) people have put their foot down in believing that the government should do its job and (b) politicians should stick to their word. It goes w/o saying that, in addition the internet, Bush’s disregard for the office heightened everyone’s awareness.

Might be careful there. Ol’ Sadd might accuse you of being a Reaganite or a bluedog or something.

But I’m a “blue dog”, “gulf invader” “Conservative” acording to Sadd, so what do I know? heh

I’m curious; did you ever care who past Presidents appointed to Surgeon General? Can you even name the current Surgeon General without looking it up? Did you really care who did the invocation for past inaugurations? Were you outraged when Reverend Billy Graham performed Clinton’s invocation in 1997, or was it a non-issue in the grand scheme of things?

I’m not saying you can’t criticize Obama (I personally didn’t like keeping Gates as Sec of Defense, and I hope it is only temporary as rumored), but some of the criticism seems like nit-picking in my opinion.

The economic recovery plan IS a major issue, but I’m withholding judgement until we see the actual plan. As that article above pointed out, Summers took the complaints from these Democratic Senators very seriously. The plan is still being formulated.

Turning around the VA from the disaster the Republinuts have made of it and make them stop denying claims illegally. That would help a large amount of the homeless and disabled right there, just by making the VA do its freeking job.

Social security needs to be raised to meet some semblance of a standard of living, and make them stop rejections that are following the law. This is supposed to be part ofthe safety net not only fopr the elderly, but also for parentless children, the disabled.

Instead of giving money to the religious right scaliwags, actually help fund the people who know best the plight of the homeless, those people helping the homeless now. I volunteer at a homeless shelter when I have time, that is one of the front lines on the war we should really be fighting now, the war on poverty.

The Dem caucus shouts their opinions out to anyone listening with a pen, paper and recorder. Then they say it’s too early to pass judgement. Well … which is it??
