Republican's need to chill out for a second !!

This week, president Obama was attacked again because of his comments at a town hall meeting covered by MTV. After a federal judge ruled the “don’t ask don’t tell”policy Obama has responded by appealing the decision. Dave Lindorff critiques Obama’s stand not only on this issue but also destroys all he has done over the past two years.

First, lets take a closer look at what Obama really said at the town hall to a woman who asked him about the issue of “Don’t ask don’t tell”. Obama said explicitly “I have said very clearly, including in a state of the Union Address, that I am against Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and that we are going to end this policy”. He also explained why he can’t just sign an executive order to end this policy “congress passed a law that took away the power of executive branch to end this policy unilaterally”. Now, he has been active getting the support of the Chairman of the Joint Chief’s of Staff for the first time and the secretary of defense. He also believes that enough senators in the Senate will vote to remove this constraint on him to sign the executive order to appeal this Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Policy.

Second, Dave Londorff talks about why we shouldn’t be surprised that he is not taking any actions. I don’t understand why do republicans don’t get it? It takes longer than 2 years for some policies to affect our lives. Dave talks about how his health care is going to raise insurance costs for everyone and his bank reform has made everything worse than before and we still have unemployment. If Dave had looked over, at least took a glance over Obama’s health care policy he would quit blogging and go fishing with his right wing friends. Most of Obama’s health care reform hasn’t even started yet, and those who have started take a longer time than this for you to observe it. Without these bank reforms we would have been in a huge dig that your beloved president Bush threw us in with unemployment of 20% instead of 9%. Obama is not a superman, lets give him at least those 8 years that Bush had and then observe his policies from outside. The guy is trying his best to save this country. Lets not forget that we went from a C average history major to a law professor from Harvard.
