Why hasn't Obama mentioned how he's the guy trying to bring responsibility back to government
He's being honest so far. He's saying who he will raise taxes on, he's saying where he wants cuts(medicare) and the other side is just saying they'll lower taxes, not cut anything and the deficit will drop. How responsible is that?


I don't think he has made this point yet.

1. I don't know that he hasn't
But Obama is the forever optimist about being able to bring change to Washington through civility.

3. Because he's not
Even Bush I's Justice Department prosecuted thousands of banksters and fraudsters after the S&L debacle- and set up the Resolution Trust Corporation to deal with the clean up.

This administration can't -or won't be bothered to even file a case against the Peanut Corp executives and managers- despite mountains of evidence.

5. He can't, because he's already publicly given BushCo a pass for its war crimes
