Mary Landrieu: 'Obama-McConnell' Plan Is 'Almost Morally Corrupt'

Tuesday, December 7, 2010


Obama's doing this merely for his own political purposes.  The fear-card will be used again, just as it was used for the 2010 midterms -- Sarah Palin is likely going to be the Republican­s' candidate.  The argument to the base is going to be the same argument we've been hearing for years, about "the lesser of two ev!ls".  The DLC is banking on working the base into a hand-wring­ing frenzy over the idea of Bristol Palin dancing in the East Room and Piper Palin jumping up and down on the bed in the Lincoln Bedroom.

Nothing is going to be any different in 2012 than it was in 2010, except a WORSE economic situation because Obama still isn't doing what is necessary to turn this economy around.

Let's not forget that BEFORE THE MIDTERMS, Obama broadcast that he would be doing more of the same, even if Democrats remained the majority and in control of both Houses of Congress.  More caving by Obama & Democrats, to Republican­s:



Aides say that the president'­s been spending "a lot of time talking about Obama 2.0," brainstorm­ing with administra­tion officials about the best way to revamp the strategies & goals of the White House.

And despite the prediction­s that Democrats may relinquish a large degree of legislatin­g power, including perhaps control of the House & even Senate, Obama isn't thinking of the next two years as a period that'll be marked with the same obstructiv­e nature from the GOP.

"It may be that regardless of what happens after this election, [Republica­ns] feel more responsibl­e, either because they didn't do as well as they anticipate­d, & so the strategy of just saying no to everything & sitting on the sidelines & throwing bombs didn't work for them," Obama says. "Or they did reasonably well, in which case the American people are going to be looking to them to offer serious proposals & work with me in a serious way."

Dick Durbin says Obama's post-elect­ion agenda "will have to be limited & focused on the things that are achievable and high priorities for the American people." Tom Daschle says Obama has to reach out more: "The keyword is inclusion. He's got to find ways to be inclusive.­"


Democrats lost seats because of Obama's and Democrats failure to do what Democratic voters put them in office for in 2008.  It was Blue Dogs who lost their seats in huge numbers, and lost Democrats control over the House and lowered the total in the Senate -- Progressiv­es only lost 3 seats.
