Obama can suck it.

President Obama has officially become the biggest letdown since we defined "erectile dysfunction".

He gets a mandate from the people, 60 votes in the senate control of the House, and HE PROMISED change. He promised transparency of govt, then uses "state's secrets" to keep prior documents sealed. Not to mention the back room deals for all the bailouts and what has become the insurance reform for the insurance companies. Why are we even considering them, I always thought it was about US?!?

He promises reform of financial sectors with new programs, MHA programs to forestall foreclosures, and TARP. What has any of us gotten. After billions spent, all banks raised fees on bounced checks, increased lending rates for customers across the board and still are usurious bastards.

This Health care debate he sat back, let the GOP define it, and went along with their agenda, full knowing he will get ZERO votes from them should the final bill say anything about public anything. No matter EVERYONE IN GOVT. HAS PUBLIC SPONSORED INSURANCE. Every member of the House and Senate seem to be doing fine with this coverage. Why can't we get some?

We are all being lied to, manipulated. Big monied interests have not only fooled the stupid (the tons of birthers, racists, Plain hacks and anti-evolutionists who "Want their country back."), but they took President Obama's balls out of Michelle's purse and put them in their pocket.

I can't say we didn't try. America really tried this time. We elected a black guy, overwhelmingly. We gave him FULL CONTROL via the vote of both legislative bodies on the Hill. And we tried to move back from our racism and racist past, looking to a new future. Instead the news has given us 24/7 Palin, 24/7 Conservative thought STILL, 24/7 "make believe" movements from a fringe, 24/7 of racist comments from every nutcase with 3 teeth in their head, but have dare not aired a single progressive meme in contrast. I guess Obama said the fix is in, even though he can control the FCC and reign some of this in.

Well back to square one. I do not trust Democrats or Republicans (ever). I doubt I will vote a str8 demo ticket this next time and will do what the right wing nuts think they're doing, voting their interest. I'll vote for mine. It has been made clear by this President, this Congress, the Media - ALL OF IT, and big business that this is a dog eat dog world, and from where they sit, there ain't enough damned dog!

Funny, is this the same GOP who now says govt. should do nothing for you, the same GOP that called a special session of Congress to intervene in the Schiavo case? Just wondering about their consistency. Ever think about that?

Lost my first programmer, who was cool, until we made everything the way he liked, then he bailed. Had other commitments. This after negotiating what was an extremely generous offer. I know when I was in my 20's the sky was the limit. Little attention did I pay to larger trends around me to make good jumps and calculated moves to my benefit.

Hired another guy to take his place. Did good work to date, but then dropped off the map for 1 week without a single word. Gets back to me, I tell him communication is key. He makes promises, and then doesn't keep them. All w/in a 24 hour period. Said life was crazy, and true enough it is. However I have a project and a deadline, so I've already been crazy.

Any wonder why people outsource with soe many seemingly "spoiled" programmers here in the US. So to make sure I stay focused, I hired another two people as backup. So we'll now finish coding our little baby.

Preferably witht he help of my guy, but at this point it is barely necessary.
