The Greatest Republican President

will be Barack Obama.  Ever. 

Rachel Maddow said soemthing on her show tonight that really confirmed what I've been thinking for a couple of months.  She said that Bill Clinton had been a great Republican president.  It's kind of true.  The thing is that it took him eight years to get there.

However, in a little more that 14 months, President Obama is looking to surpass that achievement. 

- No consequences for the torturers and those that facilitated it
- No consequences for the banks, investment firms and the people that brought this country, and the world, to its knees
- No public option in healthcare
- A very watered down financial reform bill is being put together
- Climate change legislation being weakened
- Nuclear energy
- Off shore drilling

He's going to be a great president, a great Republican president.  And, the poor and middle class of this country will continue to bleed and die slow, painful deaths.  I'm really not seeing the change.
