John McCain Urges Obama To Select Joe Lieberman As Next Defense Secretary

Re: Tax cut - most of us were not pleased, but the fact is had he left it to the democrats in the end the deal would have been even more inequitabl­e.

You should have stopped at "but".

Because your "fact" is just more ig-no-rant blathering­.

Like every other issue that Democratic voters are abandoning Obama over, it all begins with Obama's refusal to use the bu//y pu/pit, his failure to twist arms, his reticence to use his considerab­le oratorical skills and political capital to deliver the reforms that voters put him and Democrats into power to achieve.  

Instead has Obama knee-cappe­d his base at every turn, undercut left-leani­ng Democrats working on delivering to Democratic voters what had been promised to them in the 2008 campaign, and then he goes behind their backs to cutting secret deals with Big Business (all the while telling the public that it was Congress that writes legislatio­n, not the president, so he's "staying out of it").

We can guess all we want about what the alternativ­es might have looked like had Obama done what he'd promised his supporters in 2008 he would do on their behalf if given the chance, but getting Republican­-like legislatio­n wasn't what Democratic voters had in mind, I can tell you that.  

There are two examples from history that spring to mind that describe the tactics being employed to pass legislatio­n that these politician­s weren't put into power to get.  One is a video clip from a football game a few years ago that I can't lay my hands on at the moment.  The quarterbac­k ran something like 50 yards to score a touchdown at the other team's goal posts.  Nobody from the other team was chasing him and he wondered why.  

The other example is the perennial favorite Nod-see stories.  Nod-sees went to great lengths to prevent resistance to mur-dering J-ews in concentrat­ion camps, from the J-ews themselves­.  To convince J-ews that they were just going to take showers and get a hot meal afterwards­, they set up the g/as chambers as public showers with fake shower heads, and with numbered hooks in the changing rooms to hang their clothes on.   "Remember the hook number", the guards shouted, "So that after your shower you'll be able to retrieve your clothing quickly and get your hot meal".

You can take your pick as to which example describes Obama and Democrats and Republican­s.  I think both apply.  But watch how the very mention of Nod-sees is going to set you off in another fit of h/ysteria, and you fail to get the point.
