Obama 'The View' Interview: President Talks Sherrod Firing, Afghanistan, Lindsay Lohan (VIDEO)
Friday, July 30, 2010
If ever a president came into office with less political capital, who should have been working in a "bipartisan" manner (and not ramming through his campaign promises of "tax cuts for the rich"), it was Bush. All that Bush should have been allowed to do after the Supreme Court named him to the White House was implement Gore's campaign promises, beginning with paying back what had been stolen from the Social Security trust fund.
The idea that Obama (who came into office with more votes than any previous president, a filibuster-proof Senate, a huge majority in the House) wasted a moment on "bipartisanship" given that Republicans stated straight out that they were going to vote in lockstep against everything he & Democrats proposed AND that two senators of that 60 were on de@th's door (Kennedy & Byrd) should convince everyone that Obama's a DINO, a corporate t00I.
Add to that, the fact that Obama has NEVER used any pressure at all on JoeLieberman (or BenNelson, or BlancheLincoln, or MaryLandrieu, or any BlueDog).
Obama insisted that Lieberman caucus with Democrats & keep the chairmanship of the HomelandSecurity and Government
Obama DID unleash the attack dogs to go after HowardDean when Dean said ObamaCare was a lousy bill. Dean was then forced back onto the reservation (along with Kucinich for threatening to vote against the bill).
