I second this.

If he has changed, and it appears he has, his Puppet Master would be p*ssed, and he is.

The leftist support he garnered early on appears to be in a bad bad mood.

Respect must be earned. I'm sure the GOP would appreciate him if he would change and deserve respect. But I guess they just arn't holding their breath.

Hmmm??? Dud he change?

He went to GE to pay homage to a company that gave him millions in campaign funds.

Then he hires a "new" guy who's already been around, but never had any ideas.

Meet the new boss, the same as the old boss.

Nonsense. He tried like hell to get along with Republicans. They'd have NONE of it. Clinton tried too, and they pulled the same crap. Repubs have won so many Presidential elections in the last 40 years that they've come to see the White House as theirs. When it's not theirs, they get petulant bordering on perfidy. Obama was the enemy from inaugeration day, and they were bound and determined to make sure we all knew it.

Absolutely. He's become less polarizing, and he clearly wants to represent the majority of Americans.

Why because you're embarrassed your homeboy contradicted what you just said above?
