So where are we in the Age of Obama? Here is where we are: Cap-and trade is on hold, the middle-class tax cut has an expiration date, a government healthcare insurance option is 50-50, and trillions are being spent on Wall Street. Where would liberals like to be? Probably somewhere in the vicinity of this agenda by Robert Kuttner: 1) Have government directly refinance mortgages; 2) nationalize troubled banks; 3) nationalize the Fed; 4) put a tax on all financial transactions;5) end international tax and regulatory havens; 6) enact a carbon tax; 7) comprehensive pre-K; 8) union card check; 9) health insurance for all; 10) a huge public works program.

As a conservative I'll tell you George Bush was not conservative. And now after his shockingly bad administration, the communists use Bush's neocon liberalism as a lever to overthrow the Constitution.
There will be a Tea Party. If you are a conservative you plainly see the gift Bush gave to the hardcore Left. Sure John Kerry would have been worse, and conservatives voted against him. It's a symptom.
Republicans (like Bush/McCain/Steele) are too liberal. Our choices are Lefty or full-blown fascist commie. It's time for a serious correction.
Conservatives need their own party - a Tea Party - to restore and preserve the fundamental American values that made this country great. McCain-Kennedy-Lieberman? No way. The UN? Ha! Cap and Trade rent-seeking Enron scams mandated by the government? NO. Washington is dirty. It's time to clean house.
No Demoocrats, no Republicans, No Greens... Tea Party.
Get back to basics, America.

At least Bush is only guilty of only the first 3 of the 10.
Obama is Bush on steroids. Obama has doubled down on everything Bush did. What is the difference between them? Bush was a liberal. Liberals ruled congress the last two years - This mess was their fault more than any other group.

There is no end of comic relief from these whiners who seem to long for the good ole' days of the Bush presidency and its net results. These so-called conservatives are living in a fantasy world. The country could not have been left more screwed up for whoever the next president would have been.
There is no easy fixes for the mess Bush left the country in.
The anger couldn't greater for so-called conservatives because this is a self-inflicted wound. What's worse is you're draggin' everyone down with you. These boat anchors are sending capitalism, the US govt and the modern economy to the bottom of the bay. There's a point where we have to cut our losses and we can't cut the rope quick enough to let you sink by your lonesome.
