Rant: What happened to Obama? and Republicans = Political Terrorists

I remember back in the 2008 elections, there was a sense of optimism among Democrats. Now many former Obama supporters are pessimistic about the government's ability to govern. The Democrats and Obama can't be blamed for everything, many of them want to enact "change", but are stopped dead by Republicans. Republicans are the thorn in the side of progress. After all of that time the Democrats controlled the house, not much has gotten done given the amount of time they had. The main reason for this was the Republicans refusing to cooperate on anything.

Republicans do not care about the American people, they care about power. Since the word 'terrorists' gets thrown onto everything, I would like to throw it onto Republicans. Republicans are political terrorists (i.e. they use politics to terrorize Democrats so that they can further their own political desires); Republicans use blackmail and threats to further their own political agendas. This should be obvious to anyone that follows politics. After Republicans took the House of Representatives they blackmailed Democrats by threatening to let nothing go through unless the Bush Tax Cuts were extended (to further fatten the pockets of the rich). My point is that House Republicans are scumbags, only interested in protecting the economic interests of the rich. But, this is no surprise to me; I expect Republicans to be self-righteous, sociopathic assholes. My problem is with Obama. Obama is now trying to push what he is calling "his tax cut", which simply put is leaving the tax rate exactly the same as what Bush left it at. Now Obama is fighting for the rich. I recall him promising in his campaign that he would eliminate the Bush tax cuts, this move by him shows that he is no different than any other politician. Obama is looking out for his own interests (which is to compromise so that he can get more of "his" stuff done). I have a feeling Obama is going to be a 1-term president, and it is because he has gone against campaign promises many many times, and negociates with political terrorists (i.e. Republicans). When/if I vote next election, it will be for a third party candidate. Both Democrats and Republicans are, in my opinion, bad for this country.....and I think many Americans would agree.

Republicans did a horrible job when they had power, so the Democrats got it. But they performed just as poorly. We need "change", and that change is not found in the Democratic or Republican party. Democrats are pussies, and Republicans are terrorists.
