obamas job proposal

Can't wait to see how this one turns out.

Likely a failure, just like almost everything else he's done.

The only reason left to like him is that I hate and am terrified of almost all of the legitimate Republican candidates.

It's like would I rather have lunch with George W. Bush or Sarah Palin? Him, but only because I hate him a little bit less.

Nothing good will come from the next election, regardless of who wins it. Unless Obama gets re-elected, realizes he doesn't ever have to campaign again, and actually starts acting like the borderline progressive he pretended to be during the 2008 campaign...but I won't hold my breath. He's exactly like all the people lining up to face him, only not a total f*cking psycho on social issues.

Count me out for 2012.

You nailed it. The 2008 campaign was strict acting by Obama. He was heavily vetted by the moneyed elite in this world before the campaign to allow him to transcend to his position. He would not have been allowed to be president otherwise. The high comedy in all this is watching the tribalism of fake American politics still play out to the extreme as these discussions on this board as well with staunch conservatives arguing about passing a 90s Heritage Foundation plan for health care "reform". There are very few "true" conservatives left. Ron Paul is viewed as a side show, and the very few "true" liberals left like Bernie Sanders are also laughed off the planet. You simply have "money" politics and the Citizens United Supreme Court decision has all the major players on both sides after the same money. The decline of the empire is upon us. When the majority of the nation believes a school teacher in Wisconsin making $50 K is a bigger financial problem than spending trillions bombing the crap out of 10-20 foreign nations, it's pretty much over.
