A month after his Obama spending binge never happened piece, Nutting gets something right.
-------
>Many liberals thought Obama would be the second coming of FDR. However, the response under Obama was inadequate to the task. Millions of people are suffering needlessly, nor did we prosecute any of the bankers, traders or mortgage lenders responsible for the meltdown.
>
>The prison at Guantanamo Bay has not been closed as he promised. Renditions and torture continueassassination of American citizens without trial.. He banned lobbyists from working in his administration, then he backtracked. He promised not to accept contributions from SuperPACs, then he backtracked.
>He invited lobbyists from the pharmaceuticals and the health-insurance industries to write his health-care reform law, and let bankers to write the bank reform bill, which is why those laws are so convoluted, unworkable and unpopular. He allowed political donors to control the funding for green energy projects.

I'm starting to like this Nutting guy. (except for the global warming crap)

1) People were demanding a second coming of FDR, not expecting one. FAIL

2) True, but it's unwise to tip the whole boat over when you're fixing the holes in the hull...which is what cons were demanding we do with the auto industry with their demands for structured bankruptcy. Cons are great when it comes to mass destruction.

3) No he did not, If he had continued Bush war policies, we'd never have found/killed Bin Laden. If "Mark Owen" was such a smart Navy SEAL, what the hell took him nearly a decade?

4) Obama did try to close GITMO until he was blocked by a judge. I take it you demand that Obama override a judge. True about drone assassinations, but that's a Ron Paul plank. Chickenhawk cons are cool with that.

5) Again cons insist that Obama override a judge...actually, the entire Supreme Court in its decision on Citizens United. Obama's playing the hand that he was dealt, no more and no less....and he STILL whups Republican ass.  I love it.

6) Obama did what Republicans have always done especially when it comes to the NRA writing gun laws, and NOW they whine about what Republicans do. Go figure.
