Is Obama Really Cinderella?
Read Time:7 Second
You’ve heard of Cinderella? Of course you have. Perhaps the president is “Blackarella.” The comparisons are inevitable.

One on the one hand I’m shocked – shocked! – that a politician didn’t make good on campaign promises but I’m even more shocked that no one mentioned Blacula.
I’m having a wee bit of trouble here imagining Cou…oops….;-) The Prez as a blond blue eyed cartoon princess.
I do have a vivid imagination but really!!!!
Seriously peeps. He still has the potential to be one of the best ever. I just hope A) He’s allowed the chance to be and B) He really wants to be. Then it could happen.
He needs the people in the senate and house to not be all big babies and get in there to help with this stuff. They need to quit the boot licking of big business, and get their collective asses in gear.
Here is Jonathan Alter from The Colbert Report last night.

seriously. look at HCR. the exact language used by health insurers to deny care due to pre-existing conditions is included in the text. The EXACT LANGUAGE. So rather than present a case for denial they can merely point to the bill. I’m not making this up. Language is included that negates caps on benefits too. I’ve searched and read the text within the document.
Look at financial reform. I have a very good layman’s understanding of the issue. Effectively all of the systemic change has been removed, most of the regulatory change included in the White Paper has been gutted if it was even included. The Fed was asleep at the switch and now has even more power.
I’m not making this up, I’m not crusading against Obama. I read this stuff and study the issues. This is BAD legislation which will come back to haunt us.
Bro… the perception is that the ‘door has been opened’ now to larger, fairer, more concise legislation to come in. No one is really saying the whole thing is what we need.
I happen to agree with you. I don’t think we have the time to waste ‘opening doors wider’ to … and I guess there are those who think the legislation that has passed so far on HCR and Banking is fine…
to that I have no words. We disagree. Glass-Stegal remains unintact. Big banking is given much loophole territory to stretch more bunko and legal squeeze through. The only way to fight all of this is, economic statements of unitarianism and voting in folks who will take the large steps, damn the status quo.
Because there has been just that, too much status quo.
Enjoy everyone.
Saw this the other day and it was just perfect. He sure inherited a pile did he not?
Obama chose to kick the can down the road on all of them, and left whoever succeeds him with even worse issues. Kinda like the previous occupant. Both have been credited by their supporters for tremendous domestic accomplishment (Bush for tax cuts on the wealthy and Medicare Part D, Obama for healthcare and financial reform). Bush’s accomplishments were only beneficial to his wealthy supporters. An objective analysis of Obama’s accomplishments will yield the same analysis-he bailed out his campaign donors at the expense of the working class.
Nonsense 🙂
Love the cartoon, Mike. I used it in my open thread a few days ago. Never has one president been left a wider variety of national disasters.
So this cartoon is complaining that Obama is being asked to do all the things he promised to do on the campaign trail? Poor baby.
He promised to do all of those things, like the Gulf Oil Spill, that hadn’t happened yet? That makes a lot of sense now doesn’t it.
Well…he did make promises on most of those items. Maybe promise is a little strong, but he did address the issues. Of course, by the time you get to be my age, you are use to politicians exaggerating what they are going to do.
