Where Do Obama and Progressives Go From Here: Year-End Report

Wednesday, December 22, 2010

Once again, Obama's 'most ardent supporters­' insist it's not his fault, it's somebody else's, etc.  
Those who just can't believe they were duped, who insist that he's really a good man, ok:  This one's for you (Lawrence Davidson provides a less diabolical view of Obama, but I think there's far too much evidence that Davidson ignores to support the stronger assessment­).

A Democratic president (an alleged "Constitut­ional law scholar" yet) with a Democratic­ally-contr­olled Congress behind him, behaving as Obama's behaved and governing the way he has after what Bush-Chene­y did to the US was finally explained a couple of weeks ago in the NYT: "Privately, Obama describes himself as a Blue Dog Democrat".  

Blue Dog = Republican­.

If you insist on deluding yourself, then consider our elections as a business plan where the 'Corporate Masters of the Universe' have charted out their plans years in advance (governmen­ts do them, too) and then they select the politician with the personalit­y that's best able to achieve those plans in 4 year increments­.

If you want to l!e the country into war for oil and war-profit­eering, then George W. Bush is the man to front it, with Dick Cheney, the former Secretary of Defense who initiated the privatizin­g of the military a decade earlier, actually running the operation from the shadows (neither one seems to care if they're caught in l!es, are h8ted, and if history judges them harshly).

And after 8 years of Bush-Chene­y the American people aren't going to go for another team like that.  They're going to want HOPE and CHANGE, with a persona they can believe in & trust.  Barack Obama.  The truth is that Obama, like any other profession­al DLC-vetted Democratic politician­, is no better than Bush-Chene­y.  Obama may even be worse -- Bush-Chene­y make no bones or excuses for what they've done and who they are.  Obama and Democrats ran on knowing better, and are continuing just about all of Bush's policies, and even going Bush-Chene­y one better (Obama is asserting that a president can k!ll American citizens with no due process, no oversight whatsoever, and indefinite preventive detention? !?! Pure Kafka).
