“Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.”
Andrew Boyd
I totally agree that Obama hasn't done enough to fix the mess. I'm right there with you, buddy. That has been one of my chief complaints about the guy.
Where I come in on this though, is the main reason the recovery has been slow, is that the stimulus was too small, and too focused on Bail-outs of the financial industry, and tax cuts. There was too little spending on the middle and working class.
Obama has been fought tooth and nail by the republicans in congress to get anything of substance done, economically or otherwise. He's been facing a group that shouldn't even deserve the title of republicans. They've made their position clear. Nothing gets done while Obama is in office. If that group were even slightly concerned for the future of the nation, they'd act like real republicans and put the country first and foremost over their political ambitions. They'd need to actually negotiate with the dems to come to compromises.
I don't think I have to look very hard at the problem to come to this conclusion. When the USA lost its AAA economic status, that was laid solely at the feet of the republicans and their unwillingness to raise taxes to pay for anything. Their unwillingness to budge one inch on the budget.
I don't see Mitt Romney as changing that at all. He'll drop taxes even more. He'll remove the safety net for the working class and middle class. He'll make long term investment in the United States less attractive, in exchange for short term gains. It is a strategy that completely failed under the presidency of Bush Jr.
Could a republican win my vote? Absolutely. Could Mitt? No way, no how. From what I know of the guy, he would be just more of the same. Worse yet, he is the poster child for what is wrong with the American economy, not the solution.

Seriously... go grill a hamburger or a hot dog and shove it down your mouth...
I guess the stock market hasn't risen 5000 to 6000 points?
I guess that the Auto industry hasn't revived and is still at the brink of bankruptcy?
I guess that the banks have not recovered their loses?
I guess that the Bin Laden and 30 other Al Quaeda are not dead?
I guess that the IRaq war has not ended?
I guess that Health Care reform was not passed?
I guess that Pay equality wasn't passed.
Just to ask a few things that "make a significant start" might mean if you aren't blind deaf and dumb or haven't been living in a cave.

Dave:
You are too nice. That's NOT where I would have said...
....besides that, some have had 3 1/2 years to shut the fuck up and still haven't.
...janekane, is it possible that it could be in the genome, you know, like the incessant 'yapping' of a Chihuahua doggie?
...could it be the nature of the beastie?
...do you see what I meant when I said that some may choose not to get it?

"Frigging" (an old english slang word describing female masturbation)
I had thought that term was "Jilling Off"
Nope, and the word "FREAKING or FREAKIN" is also an interchangeable expression.
Possibly ALL derived from the Norse Goddess of sexuality and war... Frigga
Also see "Odinism" (that's NOT to be confused with ONANISM... O.K.?)
See also Frigga's Rune Dance...
Not to be confused with Moondance by Van Morrison... a MUCH better song from the Emerald Isles...
