did not repeal the PATRIOT Act, ordered hits on American citizens
accused of terrorism, and despite the bast majority of Americans
wanting a public option, refused to deliver that in his health care
bill. He also approved more offshore drilling, and we know how THAT
turned out. Obama bent over backwards to cater to Republican
demands, in order to build bridges with the other side. But Republicans
are becoming increasingly extremist, and even hardcore neo-cons like
David Frum are being chastised for not being extremist enough. At this
point there's nothing Obama can do, everything he does, even things
that Bush did or that Republicans previously demanded, are
automatically bad in the eyes of Republican voters. The problem
isn't Obama, the problem is you. You will vote for anything as long as
the Republican leadership tells you to. You will refuse to vote for
anything from the Democrats, even if it's THE EXACT SAME THING THAT
REPUBLICANS WANT
