Ted Rall is losing his shpadoinkle:
Obama is useless. Worse than that, he's dangerous. Which is why, if he has any patriotism left after the thousands of meetings he has sat through with corporate contributors, blood-sucking lobbyists and corrupt politicians, he ought to step down now--before he drags us further into the abyss.
In case you're not familiar with Ted, and you're saying, "Yeah... so," Ted's a liberal political cartoonist and writer. And his evidence for asking the president to resign? Armenia and preventive detentions. And the useless, promise-breaking thing.
Yeah, the president is such a lying slacker.
All that crap about how he expanded healthcare coverage for children, passed equal pay for women, lifted restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, passed the biggest middle class tax cut in history, set a timetable for ending the Iraq occupation, ordered the closing of Guantanamo, signed the credit card reform bill, established historic emissions standards, began the process of repairing our reputation abroad, passed the biggest economic stimulus bill in American history, banned all forms of torture and nominated the first Hispanic woman to the Supreme Court?
Useless! Dangerous!
