2. "Liberals often complain that the stimulus wasn’t big enough"? That's the complaint?

Obama will be re-elected. But that's the complaint?

How about his cooperation with the Republicans to give billions to the banksters? How about him giving de facto immunity to the banksters that destroyed the economy?

How about his appointing Republican carry-overs from the Bush II Administration? How about his appointment of anti-Social Security advocates to the Cat-Food Commission?

How about his apparent indifference to the shipping of jobs to foreign countries? How about his abandonment of his promise to revise NAFTA, and his accompanying lack of even making an effort to do so?

How about his support of the pending another-let's-send-even-more-jobs-to-foreign-countries "free-trade" agreement"

Trans-Pacific negotiations have been taking place throughout the Obama presidency. The deal is strongly supported by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the top lobbying group for American corporations. Obama's Republican opponent in the 2012 presidential elections, Mitt Romney, has urged the U.S. to finalize the deal as soon as possible.

If anyone is going to provide opposition to the pending job-transferring "free-trade" agreement, it may be the Democratic Senators. It is not going to be the presidential candidates. This may be our last chance to influence and vote for Democratic Senators who might vote against the pending job-transferring "free-trade" agreement.


He will be re-elected. But some of us are going to have to hold our noses to vote for him.
