202. While I recommend this post;
I did it because it brings out the debate in this forum. I do not agree with the statements;

"if we don't get enough it will have the same effect as not getting anything."

"“Protect the status quo”

You and many others blame Obama. I do too but not nearly to the extent that this post implies. It is Congress' fault and duty to pass legislature this post is complaining about and saying the OP and MSA needs. If passed, Obama will sign the bills and make the events large political events out of. I agree there are things Obama could be doing along these lines but as head of the Executive Branch he is limited.

I also say that his main thrust is rather moderate or even closer to Centrist. But I believe he is leftist in his thought and deeds when it comes to 'common folk.'

Just saying.
