Obama Targets Core Constituencies In Midterms Home Stretch
Monday, October 18, 2010
What's never gotten discussed, just glossed over, is the why of what Obama conceded, before negotiations ever began (ground that wasn't Obama's to concede), before a national public debate on healthcare could take place (& short-circuited such a debate from actually happening).
On the one hand, I'd think that Obama's fans would like to talk about it, because it lays waste to Teabaggers' claims that Obama's a socialist.
But OTOH, in doing so it also exposes Obama's real character & agenda, i.e., Obama's a DINO (he's a neoliberal, which is NOT to be confused with liberalism - http://en.
Because when we're talking about the miserable economy that Obama inherited, when we're talking about the financial decimation of the middle class & the poor in the US, when we're talking about the healthcare crisis in America & every other crisis that has this nation & the People circling the drain, had Obama been a REAL Democrat, had Obama been the masterful politician that CandidateObama had been, he would've recognized it as the same kind of *shock&awe* opportunity that Bush-Cheney-R0ve took advantage of to mug & rob the American people throughout the last decade. He would've used the IMMENSE political capital that voters handed him in 2008 to get a real stimulus bill, before TARP2 got handed out, (& with strings); real financial reform, instead of the DLC's & GOP's government privatization plans.
