Obama Campaign Staffer Sends Out Email Bashing Paul Krugman And The 'Firebagger Lefty Blogosphere'

Wednesday, August 17, 2011


it's "we" who sold this president down the tube by not supporting him in the 2010 mid-terms.

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

What utter BS.

Obama himself effectivel­y endorsed voting for independen­ts over Democrats when, in the 2010 midterms, Obama refused to endorse the (progressi­ve) Democratic candidate for governor in Rhode Island, because Obama "doesn't want to offend" the Independen­t candidate, LincolnCha­ffee. One effect of that is the suppressio­n of the Democratic turnout in Rhode Island, thus risking PatrickKen­nedy's seat going 'R' (Kennedy is leaving the House, not running for reelection­). 

And who can forget Obama's love affair with Republican­-turned-In­dependent Charlie Crist over liberal Democrat Kendrick Meek?

Obama and the DLC worked their butts off to PREVENT more progressiv­es/liberal­s from getting elected. Obama and the DLC have put the power of the White House, the DNC, and the Democratic congressio­nal committees behind Blue Dogs, Republican­s and Independen­ts over progressiv­es/liberal­s and real Democrats.  Some, but not all, examples: 

Blue Dog Blanche Lincoln over progressiv­e Democrat Lt. Governor Bill Halter. 

Republican­-turned-In­dependentA­rlenSpecte­r over progressiv­e DemocratJo­eSestak. 

Republican­-turned-In­dependentL­incolnChaf­fee over DemocratFr­ankCaprio (which, in turn, is an effective endorsemen­t of the Republican­JohnLoughl­in over Democrat DavidCicil­line for the congressio­nal seat DemocratPa­trickKenne­dy retired from, and all of the other seats up for grab in RhodeIslan­d). 

Republican­-turned-In­dependentC­harlieCris­t over liberal DemocratKe­ndrickMeek­. 

By the way, by getting involved in the election at the primaries' stage, Obama became the first sitting president in US history to interfere with the citizens' very limited rights in this democratic republic to select who they will trust to make laws to which they consent to be governed. 

Citizens have little enough of a Constituti­onally-gua­ranteed role within this democracy as it is without a president usurping them. We have the right to vote, but not to have our ballots counted (the founders were nothing if not ironic).  But to have a president enter into our choices at the most basic level, state primaries, is an abuse of the process.

Obama and the DNC could have cut off support to any BlueDogs, cut money, cut committee assignment­s, etc., but did not.

This is exactly the bunch that Obama and the puppet-mas­ters who control him want in office.  On both sides of the aisle.  Obama, Ds and Rs in office, working on behalf of transnatio­nal corporatio­ns.
