Obama needs to do what he believes is right. The American people gave him that mandate. The CONS have shown they're still the same jerks they've always been, & personally I think he needs to knock off trying to be all things to all people. It's not possible, it wastes precious time, & he needs to just get on with it.

"Unlike his predecessors, President Barack Obama is leading a nation that is teetering on the precipice of a depression."

The History Channel had a documentary on today about the Dust Bowl in the early 1930s. It gave me a visual reference of what Roosevelt walked into when he took office.-

You apparently fail to understand that there are vast differences between the Great Depression and our current situation.
Unlike his predecessors, Obama is facing a world that has been reordered by the corporations. There was no military industrial complex during those years. The U.S. economy was not dependent on weapon sales and war as it is today.-

No, I don't. I may not understand all the ramifications of this global recession/depression, but I do understand the sheer size of it makes this different.
The documentary focused on the Dust Bowl, not the Great Depression and the economics. It was a disaster far greater than anything any President has had to deal with since then. Roosevelt rose to the challenge and found a solution, and realized, as I learned for the first time, that it was a man made disaster. I may be wrong, but you strike me as a visual kind of guy, all I meant was that the visuals made a huge impact on me, and though different, there are parallels between that time, and now.

Jordan, why is it when we're playing the game by your rules you don't like it. We conservatives do not believe in most of that the current president supports. His agenda, we feel will damage our nation. Because of this, we do not support his policies and voice our concerns. Unlike your side, you will not see the massive marches in Washington. You won't see a day without conservatives. You won't find our skits on TV claiming any of the Obama children were impregnated by the president. Rather than drinking the Kool-aid as many have we're exercising our first amendment rights and will continue to do so until they change it. Which from some of his appointments may be a lot sooner than most realized.
