President Obama Lost In The Washington Mentality
AP - Admonishing his own party, President Barack Obama says it would be "inexcusable" and "irresponsible" for unenthusiastic Democratic voters to sit out the midterm elections, warning that the consequences could be a squandered agenda for years.

Mr. President, it is true that the policies of the Blue Dog Democrats and their Republican buddies and fellow travelers are indeed somewhat worse than yours. But you are so weak, so afraid to get your hands dirty, and as much as I hate to say it outright dishonest, that you are the one who who has squandered the enthusiasm of the Democrats.
You had your surrogates call the core liberal-progressive wing of the Democratic party “retards.” Are you really this stupid and socially inept Mr. Obama? Did you think that these intelligent and well educated liberals would not be angry at this?
Your health care law is weak and poor at best. You never did understand how important single payer was or even the far weaker vigorous government option. Your health cost containment program is not even remotely close to universal health care. If things go really well, there will still be double digit millions of Americans who are excluded from the health care system.
You are turning out to be more of an anti-environment president than even Bush Jr. You endorsed off shore oil drilling in environmentally sensitive areas just before the BP fiasco. You have dedicated more money to nuclear energy than the Republicans you followed. You haven't closed down Guantanamo, and you don't seem to care. Your idea of ending the Iraq war involves leaving 50,000 troops there and probably an equal number of civilian contractors. Everyone except you can see that the Afghanistan war is a truly hopeless mess which we certainly will not win. Your spending on all this military adventurism may well bankrupt the country, but you don't seem to care.
Your economic advisors are mostly conservatives who fit right in at Republican cocktail parties. You lied and said that you wanted to end DADT, now when push comes to shove you are not a significant part of the fight. You have done very little to help minorities with their fight against racism.
You really have turned out to be quite a disappointment and almost an actual embarrassment Barack. We are not the ones who are squandering anything. You and your own personal weakness are at fault. Some of us liberal Democrats will bother to vote, even though your policies and your attitude disgust us; we will be doing so despite you and all the areas where you have turned your back on us and lied to us.
