Fuhgedduhbowditt...

"I'm so dissapointed in you Donnie."

That was the line that Al Pacino's "Lefty" delivered to Johnny Depp in the wonderful
Donnie Brasco.

It happened when Brasco is co-opted by Sonny Black in Miami after Lefty had set up a party for the local mob boss. Donnie had no choice but to go with Sonny but Lefty was hurt and felt betrayed by Donnie.

"I'm so dissapointed in you Barry."

That's the line the country delivers to President Obama in "My Country 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Poverty and Lost Opportunity fed by Greed and Malfeasance at the Highest Levels of Government", the new movie playing at a theatre near you (if you can find one with tickets for less than your monthly mortgage...and that's before the popcorn and soda and candy...)

It happens when Obama is co-opted by Wall and K Streets and Corporate America. Regular America is left holding the bag as the wealth of this, once great, nation goes to the highly "connected" and insatiably selfish "One Percenters."

President Obama has let us down big time. And please spare me the rap about all of the good that he's done and the frustrations of dealing with the Republicans. Obama is no better then they are...actually he's worse...because he let us believe he was different and did nothing to disabuse us of the misunderstanding. At least we know where we stand with the Minority Party.

We would have been much better off with Hillary. We knew where we stood with her as well. We knew, up front, that she is a shrewd, calculating and ambitious woman who wants what she wants, regardless of who gets stomped along the way...and, no, I don't think she had Vince Foster murdered. It served no good purpose. It only made her look even more suspect. I think he committed suicide or was killed by either a Republican Hit Squad or the CIA.

And she's as tough as nails...without the polish. Rip your throat out...she'd know what to do with the G.O.P. She knows how Washington really works. She'd be getting the job done...not just talking about it...endlessly!

The President is just another thinly clad politician out for himself and the people who funded his campaign. It is apparent that he couldn't care less about the American people or in fulfilling the many promises that he made during the campaign.

And he has no guts whatsoever. He stands up to no one and for nobody. And if he thinks the Republicans will ever "play nice" and aquiesce to compromise he is completely delusional.

How do you think you can negotiate with people who have stated publicly that their primary goal is to relegate you to the status of a one term president? Are you out of your over-analytic mind?

The only answer is that Obama doesn't care. He's out to satisfy the needs of his puppetmasters and the country be damned.

The United States of America is going down the drain and Obama is waiting for the Republicans to meet him half way.

Let's review:

1) John Boehner
2) Mitch McConnell
3) John Kyl
4) John McCain
5) Karl Rove
6) Glenn Beck
7) Rush Limbaugh
8) Sean Hannity
9) Dick Cheney
10) Michele Bachmann
11) Roger Ailes
12) Sarah Palin

The Twelve Daze of Christmas.

Happy New Year...!
