Obama's Blame Game: It's Not About Turning Out Voters, It's About Protecting Himself

Obama's a politician, and I mean that in the worst sense of the word.

He convinced centrists that he was a centrist.

He convinced liberals he was a liberal posing as a centrist.

But first and foremost, Obama is a lawyer (also in the worst sense of the word).

Obama chose his words very carefully (lawyer-speak) during the campaign, giving people the sense of what they wanted to hear to get their vote.  It's why even among his most ardent admirers, they still argue about whether he's a liberal or a centrist or a moderate Republican.

Doing what is right for transnational corporations is what Obama is about, and trying to sell it as good for Americans is what he does afterwards.  He's the epitome of the 1950s Republican, "What's good for GM is good for America."

He did a job on everybody.

There's nothing in Obama's record to indicate he's anything but a DLC Democrat, a DINO, a Republican-in-Democrats'-clothing. 

His flip-flop on FISA in June 2008 was a pretty good indicator of his politics and character (or lack of character). 

Obama's most ardent supporters excused that betrayal, insisting that he was a closet liberal who had to vote that way in order to trick centrists & independents into voting for him in the general election. 

It's Obama's most ardent followers who were tricked, & are still in denial, for they refuse to acknowledge that Obama has been continuing just about all of Bush's policies, going Bush-Cheney one better on asserting unitary executive powers for himself (preventive detention, murdering Americans without due process or oversight, etc., continuing rendition and t0rture, cloaking it all in the 'State Secrets'-Act).
