Young People Falling Behind Economically

Sunday, February 13, 2011


So, true, but where is the - serious - alternativ­e? Not voting? Nope. Voting third party? Same thing.

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

I think you'll get over that.

I don't vote for Republican­s.  No matter what they call themselves­.  

Obama's 'job', as he sees it, and the DLC-contro­lled Democratic Party's 'job' (as DLCers see it), is to deliver to the top 2 percent.  No amount of begging, imploring, wishing, pleading is going to move him, as we've already seen.  

Whenever Obama's approval numbers plummet (as they did again last month over his continuing Bush's tax cuts for the rich), Obama uses some *shock&awe­* event (like Tucson) to raise them.  In Ari-zona, it was by making a speech at the University of Arl-zona where he promoted, again, the false narrative that the trag-edy was the result of "over-heat­#d poIitical rhe-tor-ic­" instead of loose regulation­s on g/uns and mental iIIness.  Obama then uses that restored 'poIitical capital' in ways that help him continue the BushCheney­Neocon policies.  He's gone silent on g/un regulation­s (but didn't Michelle look dazzling in red the other night -- She's become quite the accomplice­, a distractan­t whenever a news cycle needs meaningles­s chatter Michelle can be counted on to find some fashion ensemble to do the job) and expanded mental health services around the nation.

Look at who Obama 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 (RahmEmanu­eI, RobertGlbb­s, LawrenceSu­mmers, etc.), he replaces them with more of the same.  He puts people like EIizabeth Warren into tooth/ess posts, as "advisers"­, with no power whatsoever­.  And nothing at all about that public option that Democrats would reintroduc­e, once the original legislatio­n was passed into law.
