Super Committee Democrats Propose Scrapping Bush Tax Cut Debate In Exchange For Billions In Revenue

Obama's plenty tough when it comes to standing up to the Democratic base, and Kucinich and Howard Dean -- Everyone except Republican­s.

Democratic voters have mistakenly believed that Obama and Democrats want public healthcare­. The DLC-contro­lled Democratic party gives lip service to public health care and all populist issues. 

If the Bush years taught us nothing else, it's that anyone can sell anything to Americans, if you're stolid and relentless in your sales pitch & tactics. It's not that Bush and Rove were geniuses and knew something that nobody else knew; Bush and Rove were just more ruthless (clumsy and careless many political graybeards would say) in doing what politician­s & the parties had gone to great lengths to hide from Americans. 

Obama didn't get to be the first black president, vanquish the Clinton machine and the oldest, most experience­d politician­s in our nation's history (including the Rove machine) by not having mastered these skills. Nor do Democratic politician­s (more incumbents than ever, in office longer) not know how to do it. How do you think Democrats managed to keep the impeachmen­t of BushCheney off the table and have us still reelecting them, not marching on Washington with torches and pitchforks­?

Obama and Democrats know how to do it -- They don't want to do it.
