a question about Obama

Now, to lay my cards on the table, I have no problem with criticizing Obama, especially as he has been too nice to the GOP. However, I want to ask an honest question.

If Obama "dug in his heels" let's say on the Public Option, do you think he would have passed it. Do you really think this bought and paid for GOP congress would have given him an inch.. We are talkign about paid mercenaries.

If he had firm, prosecuting bankers, public option, out of Iraq NOW, let me ask this one question.

Would you have supported him, or joined in the chorus saying incompetent? Would you have had "well Hillary would dunn better!"
