His stance on DOMA and DADT... timid His stance on on illegal wiretapping...timid etc.. The 'gist' of what I'm saying is..The GOP has become a religion where the 'pastors' can lie,cheat,steal,kill and fornicate.. whatever as long as they tow the "God Warrior" and GOP line... in this religion, as with the medieval Catholics...there can be no dispute, doubt or divergence from the party and those within the party who do any of those are excommunicated..The lengths this religion will go to preserve itself and it's ranks can be seen clearly in the Sanford debacle.. and if Obama thinks a total outsiders, as he is, can get any kind of corporation/concessions from that kind of religious dogma..he's sadly mistaken he's needs to go 'Henry Tudor' soon or he will lose all political capital that took 8 excruciating years to build up.. I know, you don't do 'metaphor'.. So I'm sure you don't understand a thing I'm trying to say.. I will clarify later if you still have questions.. but right now I have a date with Johnny Depp :D No, I would describe him as ‘timid’ on domestic policy.. take health-care.. he has the votes to get what he wants, the public option.. he has the capital to force even the Dems who may be against it to cave into him instead of the Insurance Companies.. and yet he’s said that he would rather get a GOP-inclusive 51 vote bill than get 100% GOP-exclusive bill.. and in order to get those GOP members on board.. he’s willing to deal the teeth of the reform out of the deck..

His stance on DOMA and DADT… timid
His stance on on illegal wiretapping…timid

etc..

in this religion, as with the medieval Catholics…there can be no dispute, doubt or divergence from the party and those within the party who do any of those are excommunicated..The lengths this religion will go to preserve itself and it’s ranks can be seen clearly in the Sanford debacle..

and if Obama thinks a total outsiders, as he is, can get any kind of corporation/concessions from that kind of religious dogma..he’s sadly mistaken

he’s needs to go ‘Henry Tudor’ soon or he will lose all political capital that took 8 excruciating years to build up..

First of all, I don't think Obama has been timid at all. I would say when it comes to domestic policy, wouldn't you have to give him an A and note, "exceeds expectations" on his report card? I mean, what else do you expect him to do? The gist of what you are saying on Sanford seems to be that Sanford should resign, but the GOP is not requesting that in the same way they wanted Clinton (another of your go-to's)? I know I want him to resign, and the tiny bit of news lately in the Carolina papers seem to want him to resign too. Unfortunately, my opinion carries little weight in South Carolina circles. Ultimately, it does depend on the people of SC, either through impeachment or some other device of government. I’m not sure I would equate the “timidity” of President Obama with the Sanford affair.
