Breezing thru the comments and I'm stunned that it appears the President has finally jumped the shark so badly that even his most ardent, blindly loyal cheerleader chorus has finally sunk into their chairs; in enough despair and confusion that they can't become motivated to clack out the standard, "republicans are forcing him...," "you can't get everything...," or "you have to build in small steps..." blahblah while telling people like me that I don't understand how the "game" works... Obama is a genius at it.
The faithful tell me I must wait - Obama's brilliance will be revealed on some blessed day and then progressive policies will descend from heaven.
Then the faithful see something like this (""It's a compromise I'm willing to accept in order to move beyond a cycle of short-term, crisis-driven decision-making, and focus on growing our economy and our middle class...,"") and they perhaps begin to realize how [opposite of genius] the man really is. Clearly, none of these policies addresses the crisis.
Maybe the faithful are finally seeing that Obama really has no vision nor values. Say one thing, do another.
The crisis is 30 years of redistribution of wealth from middle class and poor to the rich which has gutted the economy's ability to function. As we 99% know, pounding the middle class more in order to get republicans to accept deals only perpetuates the crisis - every "compromise" does more harm than good.
