Obama 2012 Campaign Helped By MoveOn.org, AFL-CIO Super PAC Alliance

Tuesday, August 21, 2012


Do you know what it takes to amend the Constitution?  It's nothing that a president can do on a whim, by his own edict; it's not like an executive order.  

Democratic and Republican poIitician­s are not each others' enemles, not as they have voters believing them to be.  Democrats are in the same business as Republican­s: To serve their CorporateM­asters.   They only differ on a short list of wedge issues, and on those their advancing of the ball is incremental with each administration.

Romney's record as governor isn't much different than Obama's as president.  There were even moments of liberalism to Romney's record (gun control, state co-pays for abortion, etc.) - Certainly more progressive than Obama.  Romney wasn't the Tea Party's pick.  He's the Republican establishment's pick.

Obama got into office by misleading Democratic voters. He ran to the left of Hillary Clinton.  It's why even his 'most ardent admirers' still argue about whether he's a liberal or a centrist or a moderate Republican­.  He convinced centrists that he was a centrist.  He convinced liberals he was a liberal posing as a centrist.  [News Flash: The debate is over: "Privately, Obama describes himself as a Blue Dog Democrat"]
 
The fact is that they're both corporate tools, but the bigger truth is that Obama's nothing but a politician at a time when we need real leadershi­p.  And I mean 'politician' in the worst sense of the word. In the 'used car salesman' sense.  It turns out that doing what's right for transnatio­nal corporatio­ns is what Obama is about, and trying to sell it as good for Americans is what he does afterwards­. He's the epitome of the 1950s Republican­, "What's good for GM is good for America," just like Romney.  He did a snow job on everybody.  

Both men say one thing when they're running for office and then do something entirely different once they're in the job.  So the talk of Romney pandering to the rightwing now really means nothing.  It's tragic what American politics has become.
