Obama, stop being such a wuss

President Obama was presented with a rare opportunity to transcend petty greed driven politics. Unfortunately, he is squandering the opportunity. His failure to confront and expose the well orchestrated right wing lie machine has undermined the hope of all rational, hard working Americans that we can still elect politicians who behave in accordance with their values and affect our government's actions and policies.

There is no benefit to Obama's attempts to de-polarize America by taking a passive and tolerant posture toward the right wing. This is exactly the policy taken by the Weimar Republic toward the Nazi movement in the late 20s and early thirties. Evil based on the manipulation of un-educated people by fear will lead to the next phase which is intimidation. Spineless neglect will not prevail. A true leader would confront the lies and force an atmosphere of accountability where complacency now exists. The Press will only cover the most vocal voice and the voice of truth is never the loudest
