The Presidency is not too big to fail

The jobs report for today is dismal. But more distressing is that the President had few good ideas to share with the American public when he spoke about l hour ago. If you put his list of items that might help us together with Bernacke's grave comments on housing foreclosures and the unemployment rate you see that we are stuck. Atlantis launched but that is about the only upward trend for today. Will the President sell out his liberal base in the debt ceiling talks on Sunday? He was supposed to be transformational. But the only thing that has transformed is the candidate of 2008 to the man we now see before us. It's not only that he has more gray hairs. He spent all his political capital on the Obama health reform which admittedly is historic. However, it may have been a tremendous miscalculation. We need a 3rd party Independent candidate who can take on the Right Wing and rally the country and who can foster better ideas for ending this economic disaster. Time to move on.
