<blockquote class="Quote"><div><strong class="bc-author">phongone</strong> said:</div><div>You guys can call President Obama "weak" and "soft," I'll call him "pragmatic."<br /> <br /> He caved on the Bush-era tax cut to get tax cuts to the middle class AND extension of unemployment benefits AND 2% reduction in payroll taxes (which should be added stimulus). Also this deal with help procure support for the ratification of the START treaty, which is crucial from the defense perspective. The "line in the sand" bullshit would have gotten nothing. <br /> <br /> BTW, hate to break it to you but there's no one out there that could seriously challenge Obama in the primaries.</div></blockquote> <br /> This seems about right.<br /> <br /> People can be "disappointed" in Obama all they want, but I'm not sure what they were expecting. He doesn't have magical powers. Imagine that.<br /> <br /> There isn't a single Republican out there who is even worth considering as an alternative as far as I'm concerned. That party has gone batshit crazy and will remain that way for a long time. I think it's at least 50/50 that Palin will be their nominee in 2012, and a party that could nominate a delusional, ignorant sociopath like her just has no business running things.
