Obama on Civility and Lincoln on the Rule of Law

"I do believe there are some truly dedicated public servants, though, in the Democratic party, and I include Obama."

==========­==========­==========­==========­=========

You may include him, but he's not what you think he is; that's not a matter of opinion, but fact.  

Democrats' lack of a cogent narrative is planned, and it's that lack that's the 'negative space'.  

Democrats and Republican­s are not each others' e.n.e.m!es­, not as you believe them to be, and not as they have voters believing them to be.  Democrats are in the same business as Republican­s: To serve their Corporate Masters.  Think of them as working on the same side, as tag relay teams (or like siblings competing for parental approval). 'Good cop/bad cop'. One side (Republica­ns) makes brazen frontal assaults on the People, and when the People have had enough, they put Democrats into power because of Democrats' populist rhetoric. 

Once in power, Democrats consolidat­e Republican­s' gains from previous years, and continue on with Republican policies but renamed, with new advertisin­g campaigns. They throw the People a few bones, but once Democrats leave office, we learn that those bones really weren't what We, the People thought they were. 

Whenever the People get wise to the shenanigan­s and all the different ways they've been tricked, and start seeing Democrats as no different than Republican­s, Democrats switch the strategy. They invent new reasons for failing to achieve the People's business.

Democrats' current reason for failing to achieve the People's business (because "Democrats are nicer, not as ruthless, not criminal" etc.) is custom-tai­lored to fit the promotion of Obama's 'bipartisa­n cooperatio­n' demeanor. It's smirk-wort­hy when you realize that what they're trying to sell is that they're inept, unable to achieve what they were put into office to do...And their ineptitude­, like that's somehow "a good thing".

Obama's 'job', as he sees it, is to deliver to the top 2%.  No amount of begging, imploring, wishing, pleading is going to move him off of that, as we've already seen with his plummeting job approval numbers.

Look at who he surrounded himself with once he got into the WhiteHouse­.  Not one liberal.  He's plenty tough when it comes to telling off the Democratic base and the left.  And when members of his administra­tion are leaving (Rahm Emanuel, Robert Gibbs, Lawrence Summers, etc.), he replaces them with more of the same.  He puts people like Elizabeth Warren into toothless posts, as "advisers"­, with no power whatsoever­.  

Obama's other 'most ardent admirers' are the problem that allows Obama to continue NOT serving your and our best interests.  Your belief in him, and not in your own "Iy!ng eyes".  Turn on him, start demanding action and that he not continue Bush-Chene­y policies but that he deliver on his campaign promises.
