I should point out to everyone, especially considering that I am a soldier, that Obama has already begun pulling troops out of Iraq and we should be completely out by the end of next year.
Also, he is proving to be very much against the war in afghanistan, focusing instead on training the afghan army so they can protect their own people.
I think what many forget is that there is only so much he can do and not be considered a tyrant. He needs all 3 branhces to support any new legislation. Of course, he could sign an executive order and make everyone have health care, but that would no doubt make very many people mad to the point of rebellion.
Although I do agree he is giving in too much to the republicans, focusing too much on the idea of "bi partisanship" instead of his own policies. And don't think he isn't trying, he is. But he's just too worried about making his opponants happy.
With that said, I think you should ask him what, exactly, the benefits for LGBT will be under the Affordable Health Care for America Act.

I'll send you a personal message, that's kind of off topic lol.
But I do think you're right in the sense that congress is extremely lazy and the congressmen and women who are in there every day yelling at the eternal eye of CSPAN are never recognized for their actions and completely destroyed of all that they do by the media. The same goes for the Senate.
There are quite a few good senators and representatives, but they are rarely recognized by the public, mainly because they seek to dismantle the whole burgeouise class, and of course, the media would hate that.
At least it's evident that some media outlets are actually starting to have this so called "liberal bias" that republicans have been preaching about for a long time.
It seems that even the media agrees with Marx and other liberal minds.
