The Clinton Crew Takes Over

Unless Obama takes to the road, stops the "compromis­in'" talk, really pitches the People's needs and an economic policy that works for American workers and not the Bankers and the Defense Contractor­s, all that this is a tactic to set the liberals and progressiv­es up for blame and the inevitable adoption of yet another great giveaway of Americans' resources on the backs of the People.

This White House has been saying that "ending the Bush tax cuts is raising taxes" -- That's Republican spin.  This is straight out of the Republican­s' playbook.

Early on we saw David Axelrod on Hardball setting up the continuanc­e of Bush's tax cuts:

"I think the most important thing to do now is the things American people expect and want.  One is to make sure they don't wake up on January 1st with a very large tax increase because the tax cuts were scheduled to expire at that time and there's a great sense of urgency on the part of the president.  I think that is shared on the part of the republican­s to make sure that doesn't happen." 

Obama, and now the media (who live on the phone with White House aides), are using the GOP'S talking points.

But why should we be surprised that Obama would use GOP talking points when just last week in the New York Times:

"Privately, Obama describes himself as a Blue Dog Democrat (Blue Dog = Republican­)."

How should Obama say it?  How would he say it if he wasn't a Blue dog?

"Democrats are stopping the flow of red ink, getting America's fiscal house in order, paving the way for job creation, restoratio­n of the middle class and the possibilit­y of wealth creation for all".

It's going to take another president to do this, one who means it.  This one doesn't.
