John Boehner Says Mitt Romney Campaign Not Dead Yet, Jokes 'I Just Hope I Survive'

Monday, September 24, 2012


What do you think of Romney?(In less than 2000 words please).I know it's a loaded question.

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

Obama got into office by misleading Democratic voters, running to the left of Hillary Clinton. He convinced centrists that he was a centrist. He convinced liberals he was a liberal posing as a centrist. 

But first and foremost, Obama is a lawyer, and I mean that in the worst sense of the word, in the sense of choosing his words very carefully (lawyer-sp­eak) during the campaign, giving people the sense of what they wanted to hear to get their vote.  Like Bush-speak­, which utilized oxymorons like Clear Skies Initiative and No Child Left Behind (for legislatio­n that were friendly to the environmen­t or children's education).

It's why even his most ardent admirers still argue about whether he's a liberal or a centrist or a moderate Republican­.  The debate about what Obama is is over:  "Privately, Obama describes himself as a Blue Dog Democrat" - Blue Dog = (might as well be registered as a) Republican

Ideologica­lly, Obama's a Republican -- More precisely he's a neoliberal (no relationsh­ip to liberal at all).  Doing what's good 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."  He did a snowjob on everybody.

At this point, I would argue that Obama and Democrats are worse than Romney and Republicans.  Bush-Chene­y-Romney-Ryan-Republicans make no bones or excuses for what they've done and who they are, whereas Obama and Democrats ran on knowing better.  

So, "lesser of two evils"?  No, Obama's the more effective of the two evils.  More effective on behalf of the corporate elites.  We the People didn't see it coming from our own.
