Re: obama 2012 (?????)
My disagreements with President Obama are that the major landmark bills that have passed aren't progressive enough.

I don't think there is a serious alternative to campaign against President Obama. Ms. Palin would never run because she makes too much money, and I think that's what drives her. Mitt Romney can't stick to a narrative for more than two weeks, and I think he would run a bad campaign.

I do think many of the economic disasters under President Bush would have occurred eventually. That repealing of the Glass-Steagal Act was a effing disaster when Clinton was president. But the multi-trillion tax cuts in 2001 and 2003, plus dishonesty about the cost of wars made a bad situation worse.

And the GOP mantra is to deregulate even further. That is idiotic.

I think if someone other than Harry Reid was Senate majority leader, the Senate would be more productive.
