Bloomberg: Congress 'Can't Read' And Some Members Don't Know What, Or Where China Is

Democratic voters, for the most part, still haven't finished their love affair with Bill Clinton.



Like the real debate & assessment of Reagan that's never happened, we've never assessed Clinton's true legacy. Eliminating the social welfare safety nets, Glass-Steagle, the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, rendition, privatization, the sanctions & daily bombing of Iraq (& so much more) laid the foundation for what Bush-Cheney did to decimate the country. As Alan Greenspan said, "Bill Clinton was the best Republican president we've had in a while."



The same is so for Obama. More so.



The DLC's pitch for not throwing Democratic incumbents out of office last week was "Do you want to return to the failed policies of BushCheney & Republicans?"



When did we ever leave them?



Obama's been continuing just about all of the BushCheney policies, and the DLC-controlled Congress has been watering down real Democratic legislation, turning it into Republican legislation.



Republicans love it -- They get, generally, what they want (or what they can build on later) & don't have to vote for it, which satisfies their base's need for knee-jerk tribal warfare between the 2 political parties (how many times have you heard Republican tr0IIs declare that a bill "must be bad if Democrats are for it"?), AND, it satisfies their & Democrats' shared Corporate Masters. They get amply rewarded with great big donations to their reelection campaigns.



What Obama's been doing should be shocking to all real Democratic voters.
