Congressional Democrats Say Obama Not Doing Enough To Fix Mess They Created

“He’s going to have to be more assertive than he’s been,” House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, D-Mass

“The Obama team has to step up,” Sen. Christopher Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee and one of the lead negotiators, said Nov. 21 in Hartford, Conn. “In the minds of the people, this is the Obama administration. I don’t think we can wait until January 20.”

Of course, Frank and Dodd have been largely fingered as main players in the cause of the financial sector meltdown by Republicans, many Democrats, and the msm at large. But…what we really need is a first class, level 1 spinmeister to start complaining about Obama’s preference for rhetoric of work…preferably a Democrat; someone like….

Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, a point man in helping his state’s main industry, called on Obama to help resolve the dispute over money for the auto loan package.

“It would be very helpful if the president-elect would become more involved in resolving the issue over the source of the funds,” he said. “I want him to offer his assistance. He is a person who can really bring people together.”

YES! That’s IT! Carl Levin-the man who is behind every myth about Iraq having nothing to do with Al Queda…he’s perfect! Only a top level, ingrained, hardcore, DC insider like Levin could really get Obama to at least use some words to make a difference.

What a bunch of clowns, I still haven’t heard a single thing about how they will address the credit derivatives market that is the root cause of this incoming economic tidal wave.

With the Romer, Gates and Jones appointments 0bama may just be showing that he is smarter than the average lib and knows that a total looney left agenda would lead the country into disaster. If that’s the case, 0bama would be wise to let the congressional dims take the fall for all of this mess.

Can anybody be more stupid than those people?

Even if Obama did anything, it would be invalid and unconstitutionally disallowed. If he's not the president yet, then why do these people keep insisting on Obama doing anything? The best he can do is to talk up the economy and to suggest ideas or plans to those that are still currently running things. Meanwhile, those people wanting Obama in charge should pony up and reveal what it is that they think that Obama can do to heal the economy and the country.

Personally, I believe that the longer that Obama is not in charge of anything, the better off we'll be. In fact, Obama should ask the Reaganites, whatever is left of them, to run things for him until the country recovers from the democrat caused recession.

This morning as I was watching my 20 minutes of local news here in StL on Channel 5, they had a story that some Alderwoman has put forth a suggestion to name Delmar Blvd "Barak Obama Blvd". I just shook my head and tried to tuned it out until I heard the following:

. . .One of our many viewers has posted the following to our website . . .

"I think it is a GREAT idea!! He is one of the greatest Presidents we have ever had!

I paused for a minute to drag my jaw off the floor and then started laughing. Dumbshti! He hasn't even served one damn day in office yet!!

Then I realized . . .this is the face of the Zero voter. Sad, really, really sad.

Just a thought- if the people around O are as smart as everyone says and they are worried about having to govern under Pelosi, Frank, Dodd, Reid etc., maybe they will have investigations of these crooks to eliminate their power which would make O the most powerful dem because the rest are in jail.

W thinks Obama’s already president. So, why not everyone else?

What they’re really doing is they want O to “step up” and do something and if it turns out to screw the country they can blame Bush.
