Does it seem like Obama..

[warrior1]

is still running for office and not running the office?

He's waiting for approval from Americans that he all ready has.

[cali]

1. Doesn't seem that way to me. n/t

[babylonsister]

2. No. nt

[tekisui]

3. Saving political capital instead of spending it?

[jaxx]

4. Nope.

But I heard a similar idea on M Joe today.

[saltpoint]

5. No, it doesn't. Around two-thirds of the citizenry seems to think he's

doing a fine job.

I think they're right.

[Trajan]

6. It seems the consensus here is 100% AGAINST your position ....

That would make you 100 % WRONG ....

You may want to reconsider your stance ....

[warrior1]

9. Your funny

I think that I'm more right that wrong on this feeling. You know that it's the same way with congress, they are the majority yet still act like they have no power.

[camera obscura]

7. Yes, but all politicians act that way, even the most progressive/"correct" ones.

It's how the world works.

[spanone]

8. no

[monmouth]

10. No, it doesn't seem that way at all...n/t

[CJCRANE]

11. He has to gain consensus.

It's part of the job.

[NYCGirl]

12. No. Not at all. NT

[watercolors]

13. NO!! He is very much being presidential

What is it with some of you people???

[tavalon]

14. Very much so

I wish he would stop pandering so much and just kick some ass.

[Buzz Clik]

15. No, not at all.

[nevergiveup]

16. In their first term presidents

are continually running for office. It is the nature of the beast. Obama is no exception.

[Riley18]

17. I would like to see stronger control over the banking industry. Roosevelt

put the Secretary of the Treasury directly in charge of the banks in 1933. Time to stop playing nice.

[dionysus]

18. not

[spiritual_gunfighter]

19. Pretty much

In the act of "bipartianship" he is pandering to the right, when in reality they wont support him on anything anyway. He should strong arm things through, like health care. It is disconcerting.
