I've said it before...but, we'll go down in flames before any of our woes are actually addressed...or should I say before we "let them" be addressed.  It won't be while our current President is in office.  No fixes of the scales needed will be permitted while Obama presides over the executive branch.

I view it as two fold.  One, the good ole boys can't and won't acknowledge or allow Obama to be associated with any legislation or policy that even remotely puts a glimmer of positivity towards him as President.  Can't happen, they won't let it...regardless of the consequences....LITERALLY...regardless of the consequences.

Two, Obama himself is to placating in nature.  To gentlemanly, to passive in many regards...to self aware of what would happen if he pulled a Teddy Roosevelt or FDR and "actually" addressed our economic woes with guns blazing.  The current climate, as vitriolic and pensive as it is towards him now, would explode.  He's more or less stuck playing passive mediator to keep a bunch of spoiled, ignorant and self entitled assholes from going ballistic and taking what's left of this countries stability to hell...just to show Obama...who's REALLY in charge.  I have absolutely no doubt, nor I imagine does he, of the precarious perch he's sitting on and the ripple affects his actions have.  He's the most powerful man in the world, who is held hostage from fully using it...so he can keep the tenuous peace.

I do, however, take pleasure from being almost 100 percent sure of the fact that if he wins another term...he'll go balls to the wall.  This is more of a feeling than an educated guess.  Because if he wins again...the people who lost their fuckin minds the last time he won...will go utterly fuckin ballistic and he'll have nothing to lose in a last term.  Add to that the fact that even the most die hard opposition is having an extremely difficult time convincing their base that the country is SUPPOSE to swing EVEN MORE financially in favor of the wealthiest...and the continually growing discontent and reality of REAL LIFE is slowly starting to seem a hell of a lot more important than ideological prejudices or towing party lines.

You can tell me allll daaayyy lonnnggg that I have "no right" to cancer treatment and a myriad of other civilized policies that have been determined to be better suited as "profit based endeavors"...but as I hear and millions of other hear for the first time in their life, "we think you have cancer Mr. So and So"...suddenly a companies ability to profit based on the demise of others or yourself...seems to make no fucking sense at all.
