When will the citizenry that voted for change and put Obama in the White House stand up to the right wingers and their ilk to push forward the change they voted for?

People want to "let joe do it". However, in this case there is no joe there is just you and me and millions of others that voted for change away from the right wing agenda and all it's wrongs. It's time "we" stood up to the tea parties and the rest of the crazy heel dragging Republicans to say enough! do the job "we" want or be gone!


"From Sarah Palin to John Boehner to the operatives pulling Tea Party strings, conservatives seek to block every reform on the progressive agenda. We must fight back. "

"Cynicism ignores both the needs of the country and the moment we are in. Obama was elected with a mandate for change by a citizenry in desperate need of it. The dismay is grounded in a stark reality—that the Obama initiatives, however historic in comparison to the last decades of conservative misrule, are insufficient to meet the challenges they must address.

There's really nothing stopping Obama from enacting any change he wants.

He didn't need a single vote from the Republicans to pass the health "care" law. And most Americans were against it. He still passed it.

Any blaming of Republicans or Tea Partiers is an excuse. What it is is he can't get Democrats to agree with him on things and blames Republicans for it. Typical politician. No change there.

Fortunately, liberals make up only about 20% of the population and the far Left element much less.

The moderates, Indies and conservative democrats are finally coming to their senses.

NO ONE voted for the change obama is trying to implement.

He masked his intentions well.
