Administration Braces For Setbacks To Health Law

Where does this kind of BS come from?

Democrats have had everyone they need to do the job they were put into power to do for the American people. Such as get affordable, quality medical treatment for everyone & other populist policies made into law.

During the Bush years, Democrats said if the People wanted change, they had to put Democrats in the majority in Congress. So in 2006, we did.

Nothing changed. 

NancyPelosi & HarryReid, & all Democrats in leadership positions took tools off the table for fighting BushCheney & beating Republicans back, among which were investigations, public hearings, oversight, forcing members of the Bush administration to testify under oath, and impeachment.  

They said, "You have to give us more Democrats -- 60 in the Senate".

In 2008, we did.  We gave them 60 for the DemocraticCaucus. And we gave them the WhiteHouse. 

Obama came into office with the wind at his back. More people voted for him, a black man in good old r@c!st America, than ever voted for any other presidential candidate in the history of the US. They did it because of his ability to persuade that he was going to change the system, end the corporatocracy, lobbyism in government -- He was going to be the People's president, not a corporate t00I. 

And no sooner did Obama get elected than he slammed the brakes on the momentum of his election & a filibuster-proof Senate (tentative yet, with 2 senators, Kennedy & Byrd, at d.e.a.t.h's door), Obama did a 180-degree turn on his promises & sloooooowed everything down. To "work in a bipartisan manner with Republicans", after Republicans had already announced they were going to block everything Democrats wanted to do, vote no on everything, in lockstep. 

Obama went mute, & disappeared from public view for the most part during the HCR debate.  His political team & machine disbanded the grass roots groups across the nation -- That was a de@d giveaway that the last thing these politicians want is an active populist movement.

Obama uses the bully pulpit to bash the base of the DemocratParty, and only bashed Republicans (and never by name) in the weeks before the midterms.  In fact, all Obama's ever gone after is RushLimbaugh and SarahPalin.  He puts his power behind moving the DemocraticParty even farther to the right-of-center than it already is, to attract those Republicans who are feeling disenfranchised from the TeaParty faction that's controlling the RepublicanParty.  He does everything he can to PREVENT bringing pressure to bear on Republicans & the BlueDogs, beginning with blocking investigations & prosecutions into the crimes of BushCheney.

The only thing keeping us from real reform on all fronts are faux Democrats.  It's time to cleanse them, the DLC, from the DemocraticParty. Long past it, actually.
