I am about to get pissed off at Barack Obama.

Enough silence and ambiguity. How about some straight talk?

Do you support Social Security or not? Yes or fucking No?

Do you believe the Bush taxcuts have been good for this economy? Yes or No?

Do you believe the free markets are the solution to all our problems? Yes or No?

Do you believe in smaller government? Yes or No?

Do you actually believe you can compromise on everything or anything? Yes or No?

Do you truly believe you can work with the Republicans?

It's time for the President to stop his ambiguous statements that can be interpreted in a hundred different ways. We need to know where he stands if he wants us to continue to stand with him. We owe him nothing. He owes us. Either he is going to be a President for the people or he is going to be a President for the big corporations and banks and world financiers. So far, it doesn't look good for the people.

It's time to get off the dime, Mr President. It's time to lead. It is not time to hand off to the Senate and the House to work out a compromise. We have compromised out. We have no more to give.

It's time to clean house and get some advisers that are not left-overs from the Clinton Administration. If you plan on using the Clinton model to jumpstart our economy and balance our budget, you are living in a fucking dreamworld. It will not work. We need dramatic new answers for the new world we are now living in. Instead of acting like Ronald Reagan, why don't you show a little spark for progressive ideas and social progress?

The time is now, Mr President.
