I think President Obama is going to have to come out with a big/inventive program in Sept that will put Americans back to work and dare the Repuglican's to vote it down showing their true colors.
basically.
this is all about jobs, and not the economy.
both parties have been obfuscating about jobs = economy, while only truly focusing on economy = corporate bankrolls. I know it's not that simple, but this is what every one sees; and what is simple--is that jobs haven't been the result. period.
no party has an answer, none have even tried, really. I believe the repubs have been the worst--most recently turning the debt ceiling into an issue that never existed, never should have existed, playing political capital while tap-dancing on the heads of those that simply need to work--Obama simply wanted to pass it with no to-do (like 74 times previous)--but Obama has to answer, in a way, for the current ~$1 trillion sitting in the coffers of the 3 remaining banks, money that they were given, and tell them to FUCKING SPEND IT ON LOANS AND JOB CREATION because that is what they were given this fucking money to do.
fucking banks, and still--no one is taking them to task for their utter failure over the previous 3 decades, and current desire to maintain the status quo of greed. The admin gave them this blanket to keep things rolling, and they are pouting in their dark little cave. They need a bitch-slap, and Obama has no balls.
That, and he's been far too willing to cow-tow to the irrelevant teabaggers. that shit pisses off the educated voters.
