Quote: "Obama will win NY again and very likely will win re-election.
What grade would you give him thus far?"
No. 422 - Create new financial regulations: Promise kept?! Wow, that must be the Bizarro World Obama. The Financial Reform Act of 2010 is an even bigger joke than the Health Care Bill. It does nothing to reenact the key aspects of the Glass Steagall Act, therefore reneging the entire concept of reform. It still allows banks to act like casinos, and does not address the too big to fail problem. If anything banks have gotten even bigger these last 2 years.
Obama may be better than Bush in most respects, but he has furthered the Bush agenda more than even what I feared McCain would have done. Sadly Obama proved himself to be a corporatist not a populist. Most informed people who will vote for Obama in 2012 will do so because the alternative is worse, not because Obama is doing what he campaigned on.
New campaign slogan for 2012: Obama; I may be lousy, but the other guy is worse.
