Obama Unveils Deficit Reduction Plan, 'Buffett Rule' Tax On Millionaires


BTW - if you go back to late 2008 in my posted comments, you will see that I gave basically all of 2009 to the President as a mulligan. I gave him benefit of the doubt on darn near everything­.



At this point, the President has fully earned all the trashing he gets for failing to fight for what the nation needs. I'm not convinced he's for the rich or for the powerful, but I am convinced he's not up to the task of challengin­g the status quo.



And since his key claim (at least the one that stuck with me all through his campaign) was that he was going to change DC. The context of that boast was in lobbyists making rules, no one being held accountabl­e, etc. We still need that change - unsurprisi­ngly since Obama stacked his administra­tion with hacks whose fingerprin­ts are all over the economic murder weapons.



Sadly, I suspect it will take the American public another dose of a republican President to realize that we need to take serious action to fix our ills.
