so i saw The Daily Show's take on this deal, and it appears that the democrats caved again. it's pretty sad how ineffectual Obama has been as president, he and the democratic party seem to have very little backbone compared to the republicans. he caves on his heathcare bill and it gets gutted to a shell of what it should have been, he doesn't follow through on his promise to close Guantanamo, he caves to republicans again on eliminating the Bush tax cuts for the rich, and now aside from the tea party wingnuts, the republicans get everything they want again and Obama is sitting their holding his dick
i really thought when he was elected that he could actually follow through on his campaign for change, and bring around an era of responsibility that US politics has lacked for so long. but aside from getting Bin Laden, he has come across as a very weak leader
