But let's face it. From most perspectives, it looks like he's just bent over and taken it up the ass from the Republicants (please replace that 'a' with a 'u' and you'll have a far more accurate description from my vantage point. Oh, was this supposed to be a family site? No one told me).
On the other hand, I believe he walked into a nearly impossible situation. The world expected him to fix the monumental blunders of the past 8 years simply by snapping his fingers - *poof* magic! It's all disappeared and our idyllic lives may now begin. We expected too much. I think *he* expected too much!
Washington has been nearing a stalemate for a loooooong time now. But with a R-heavy Senate and a D-President, we should have seen a lot of this coming. Obama is/was an idealist, from what I can tell. He really *wants* to create the change he campaigned on. He has been stymied at every turn. He would get criticized by Republicans if he was unwilling to compromise. And if he was willing to compromise, he would get criticized by the Democrats. How the heck is the guy supposed to get anything done at ALL???
I have to wonder at this point if it's even POSSIBLE to change what's going on in Washington. Is it time to revolt? Is it time for the people to say "This isn't right! You people need to start representing US and not big business!" What all SHOULD we be demanding? I know it's not what we've got right now, and it's not what I'm hearing the Republicans demand!
I feel bad for Obama.

I agree with everything you've said. Still, I think the Dems absolutely suck at getting their message out. The way the Republicants (and I agree with what you want to call them, too) completely run the conversation is what bugs the hell out of me.
