Why is wanting to fire a sitting first-term President so unbelievable? All Barry has done is to cave to the RepubliKKKans at the drop of an hat. Obama is obsessed with the idea of bipartisanship when the other side will have nothing to do with it. Why would four more years of that be a good thing? It's bad enough true progressives have to deal with it for another two.

The Obama who is governing is not the Obama I campainged for. Every time there has been a chance to stand firm on Democratic values he has caved without a fight. Even things that are handed to him on a platter: A federal judge ruled DADT unconstitutional, all he had to do was NOT have the DOJ file against it and it would all be over. Nope, Doj filed. The Bush tax cuts: All he has to do is let them expire then legislate for middle class tax cuts and lets see the Repubs block that. Unemployment: Make congress stay during the xmas holiday and watch how fast that gets passed. He is a decent man, but like the Repubs, he is a great campaigner but not so good at governing.
in all seriousness, if the repubs get to call the economic shots even as the dems still have the trifecta, I don't see the big deal in risking a loss in 2012. Lose what? Social Security? The 2% payroll tax rollback has already expedited that process ...UNDER A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT.
we're doomed
