What the President Could Learn From Sarah Palin
Tuesday, October 19, 2010
You're obviously entitled to your beliefs, but I don't agree with them at all.
As a matter of fact, I've never heard anybody frame Obama's victory and Hillary's loss as you do.
I've now seen two of your comments, and both are, IMHO, revisionist history.
Most Hillary and Bill supporters think that the Clintons are liberals. Most of the Clinton supporters don't know what the DLC is. Most have a romantic view of the Clintons that conveniently ignores facts no self-respecting liberal would associate themselves with.
Barack Obama got into office by misleading Democratic voters. He ran to the left of Hillary Clinton. He convinced centrists that he was a centrist. He convinced liberals he was a liberal posing as a centrist.
First and foremost, Obama is a lawyer, and I mean that in the worst sense of the word, choosing his words very carefully (lawyer-speak) during the campaign, giving people the sense of what they wanted to hear to get their vote. It's why even among his most ardent admirers, they still argue about whether he's a liberal or a centrist or a moderate Republican.
Doing what is good for transnational corporations is what Obama is about, and trying to sell it as good for Americans is what he does afterwards. He's the epitome of the 1950s Republican, "What's good for GM is good for America."
He did a job on everybody.
