Dems have no one to blame but themselves
Obama shouldn't have blinked on the tax cuts or the debt negotiations
He should have let the Republican and the Tea Baggers follow through with their threat to kill the hostage (in the words of Senate leader Mitch McConnell).
That's what I wanted him to do and I expressed my disappointment on those and other failures many times on this board
Obama's original sin straw was the following:
1. Appointing Geithner, Summers, lieu, and reappointing Bernake to the Fed
2. immelt to head Jobs summit
3. Bailing out the criminals on wall street in AIG, GS, etc.
4. Covering up the fraud on Wall Street
That was his original sin Straw.
