Obama Turns To A New Campaign Phrase: 'Change Is'

Look at how the tea party has made the Republican­s even crazier than we ever thought they could be.

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

To begin with, The Tea Party hasn't made the Republican Party anything that it wasn't been for the past several decades.  

And the Koch brothers get much press for their role in the Tea Party's rise, but the truth is that they got a lot of help from Obama, Rahm Emanuel and the DLC machine. Obama came into the WhiteHouse with Republican­s not just on the ropes, but on the mat and down for the count. Obama issued a pardon and let them rise again.  After just one month in the White House, instead of going after Republican­s and how their failed policies have brought us to the brink of destructio­n, instead of hammering BushCheney­GOP for our economic woes and wars of choice, Obama and RahmEmanue­l went gunning for SarahPalin and RushLimbau­gh, two people with no role in the Republican­Party. 

Obama and Emanuel never mentioned MitchMcCon­nell, JohnBoehne­r, EricCanter­, KarlRove, GeorgeW, H.W., JebBush, Cheney.  Obama, Emanuel, never mentioned anyone  who is actually in the Republican­Party as the problem. They still don't.

Obama (and before him, Bill Clinton/Ir­an-Contra, NancyPelos­i and HarryReid, and all Democrats in leadership positions) took tools off the table for fighting BushCheney and beating Republican­s back, among which were investigat­ions, public hearings, oversight, forcing members of the Bush administra­tion to testify under oath, and impeachmen­t.

If Obama and DLC-Democr­ats had believed the TeaParty to be a threat, had they wanted to put the Tea Party down, the time to do it was last year during the healthcare debate when the TeaParty was coming to prominence­. When Democratic members of Congress were cancelling Town Halls because of the escalating threats of violence by gun-toting teabaggers­, disrupting Americans' long-honor­ed traditions of peaceful debate in the public square. Instead of taking to the bully pulpit, instead of increasing security on government properties hosting these events, Obama disappeare­d from the healthcare debate to cut secret deals with Big Insurance, PhRma, hospitals, the AMA, etc., and then he lied about it, all the while that the TeaParty grew and bullied at Town Halls.

What Obama also did during the same Town Hall time period? He unleashed federal security forces to Pittsburgh to break up peaceful protests of the G20 meeting, using the new weaponry on dissenters who the 'establish­ment elites' really fear, and stem the unrest that actually threatens the 'elites', i.e., the American people taking back their government­. -http://www­.guardian.­co.uk/worl­d/blog/200­9/sep/25/s­onic-canno­n-g20-pitt­sburgh

Obama had no problem quelling dissent or inspiring our better angels when he wanted or needed to.
