Perhaps the world is giving President Obama a bit more than two weeks to make progress clearing the disaster(s) that have befallen the USofA during the past 8 years. Hand wringers notwithstanding of course.
Where do you buy one of those crystal balls you guys are peering into?

David, I don't really care for snide and derision. It speaks volumes about the person expressing it.
You misunderstood me. My stomach doesn't hurt from worry. I was (perhaps unclearly to you) identifying that I am disgusted.
I also feel some disgust for folks who haven't been paying attention to what Obama has actually done, said and the people he has surrounded himself with. And yet wish to give him more time .. to do what? To surround himself with yet more neolibs and neocons - who continued to promulgate the same failed policies of hegemony?
It doesn't take a 'crystal ball'. It merely requires a modicum of perspicacity.

David, thanks for posting Blum's list. It is a wonderfully revealing list of the Corporate/Financial Empire's accomplishments......
