You can make this sure bet in Vegas and take the money to the bank. Obama is going to be a one term fizzle.

We voted for a visionary man and he has now proven that he has been a pragmatist all along.

He has failed to realize that truth is not a process to those that put him into office. His blatant decision to conduct healthcare debate in private, reneging on the promise to demand price negtiations on drugs, dropping the idea of reimportation of cheaper drugs and the bailing out of his banking friends on Wall Street are bales and not straws that broke the very backs of those that carried him into office.

I am not saying that McCain would have been a better president, but I am saying that Obama has been naive to think that he can accommodate the power factions in Congress and still bring change to American politics.

Where do we go from here? Let's start by making sure that not one member of Congress is reelected.

I had such hope, but Obama is just a politician like all the others. I am not sure our system really allows for anything else. How sad.

Maybe it is time to challenge the system. A little tea may be good for the soul.

Lawrence Lessig, a professor of law at Harvard Law School, has written an excellent essay in the February 22, 2010 issue of The Nation describing the steps necessary to reform our dysfunctional U.S. Congress. As a strong supporter of Obama, he also reviews the failure of this Administration's efforts to fulfill the promises made to the American people during the election.
Synopsis: Kick everyone of the bums out of office.
Lessig is co-founder of the nonprofit Change Congress.
It is time for every American that cares about the future of this country to stand up and take the country back from the thieves.

Like Marina I am saddened by our loss of hope for change. Very sad and disgusted!
