Good Grief, Barack Obama!

For starters, recess appointments.



Most importantly, forcefully campaigning against the intransigence by changing his strategy from 'smoke-filled-room negotiations' to an all-out public appeal for all voters to pay attention to daily activities of their representatives will yield massively better dividends over the mid-terms and beyond. Name names, cite the transgressions, the statistics, and tie it all in to how the 'bring down Obama' strategy is a 'destroy main street' strategy (tho, admittedly, as a worshiper of wall street, the President's credibility in pulling that off is strained). The fact is that until he gets a Dem majority across the board, only tiny, insignificant things can be accomplished.



So there is simply NO justification at all to invest time in trying to achieve "bipartisanship" and its insignificant advancements. Passing a bill is a battle - fixing the economy is a war... and the war cannot be won unless the public is brought into the debate and they begin to understand better how the republican party is working against us all (there are a disconcerting number of Dems who are also working against us and I'd call them out, too).



Now, you may disagree with my suggestion. However, it's worked for Presidents in the past. And this President's strategy is most clearly and obviously a failure. So the only wrong - the only illogical and unreasonable - answer here is to keep doing over and over that which has been failing and hope for better results.
