He sure is. This what needed to be done. He,s taking his time and addressing the problems. Was thrilled when he blamed part of the reason for the problems now is citizen united and the extreme part of the party that's obsessed with the ACA

he has to do the job of the press as well as his own, but at least he's doing it. He's kicking ass out there today. I would like him a little more forceful, but that's just a minor nitpick.

the Tea Party Repubs.

That's calling out criminal behavior without calling the Repubs criminals.

If the sound bytes are replayed on news outlets (other than Fox, of course, which
would NEVER quote him properly) and in print media and repeated
on blogs, people have to know that this behavior cannot be tolerated.

The question is, how far is he willing to go to stop the behavior?

and we don't know what their agenda is* - you guys know this, you write about them (paraphrasing). They are afraid to not do what they want. They are not afraid of a challenger to their left since they live in gerrymandered districts. They are afraid of a Tea Party challenger in the primary. (also all paraphrased)

Sam

* Well, we do know what some of them want. They belong to ALEC and we have seen their draft bills. They constantly say negative things about our social safety net. They want those programs to evaporate. That is a redistribution of wealth to insist the wealthy pay a little higher taxes to help finance programs to support the poor, the disabled, and of course that socialist health care program MUST GO.

"You guys know they are. You write about them."

Yes, we do, President Obama, and some of us do admit to writing about them perhaps in terms you cannot utter on cable!
