Obama Has Been Played For A Sucker By The Republicans
He tries to make nice with them. He appoints lots of them to positions in his own government. Their response : To spit in his face. I've been saying for years that the whole notion of "bipartisanship" is a mind game in which Republicans try and psyche out the Democrats and stop them from following their natural instincts. Bipartisanship is an absurd idea which is fundamentally antithetical to democracy. Unfortunately, Obama has walked right into the Republican trap and is being played for a sucker.

Obama is in power position to be his own man if he exerts himself he can make his own decisions.
He is still in the wait and see position of being the new guy in office for the time being.

Obama was asked last night about moving troops to Afghanistan. In his reply, he talked about how well things are going in Iraq. My how quickly things change. How long ago was the campaign? Amazing progress in Iraq since Obama was elected!

I thought George was a guest speaker for a few seconds.

 This is my personal favorite:
The government, during the Clinton administration, began applying pressure on banks to ease up on loan restrictions. Banks eased up. Republicans sought regulation of institutions doing the biggest easing. Democrats shot regulation down. The system crashes. Government and the press blame banks. Banks tighten loan restrictions. The Government wants banks to ease up on loan restrictions.

I think the people are the ones being played for suckers.
