Detroit - what's your opinion of Barack Obama?

[rb336]

Disappointed. Amazing campaigner, lukewarm follow through on the very basic premises. What happened to "Yes, we can" for pity's sake? All I've seen is No we can't and it's all their fault.

how many filibusters?

and why have we not fixed the filibusters? Yes, we can! Right?

Cause Harry Reid is a spineless coot.

I don't think that would have stopped us if we had that campaign momentum. That sure didn't last. I know President Obama has accomplished a lot, but we really need a more progressive leader.

I guess what really disappoints me is the thoughtless waste of so much progressive energy. Once elected, Obama dropped it like a hot potato. Much like GWB when he told us to go shopping after 9-11. Waste of energy committed to improving our community spirit.
