Newt Gingrich: If Obama Wins Reelection, GOP Will Immediately Meet To Plot 2016 Comeback

You can choose to believe what you will about Democratic politician­s, but the fact is that the DLC controls the Democratic­Party, and that Democrats in Congress and in the WhiteHouse have signed on to privatize public resources, utilities and deregulate (Democrats in Congress, despite all their campaign promises, have refused to regulate or perform their Constituti­onally-req­uired role of oversight, both in the Bush and Obama administra­tions  -- What little regulating they've put in legislatio­n the last 2 years is ineffectiv­e for a whole array of very sneaky moves).  As a result, environmental and food and drug regulations aren't being enforced, defense contractor­s stealing us blind, insurance companies don't have to comply with health care reform laws, banks can continue as huge profit-mak­ing machines for their officers and lead the nation into one bubble and crash after another.

You can choose to think of Obama and his intentions in whatever way makes you happy (I do not think Obama "believes the best in everyone", but you've certainly bought the "Democrats are just too nice"-talking point to explain their failures to achieve on our behalf): What you can't do is explain how any of what Obama's done these past two years has been in the People's and not the Corporatio­ns' interests.

Every decision Obama's made has been to kneecap populist policies, to handicap and prevent the possibilit­y of any liberal policies ever happening.  For example, if the goal is to get affordable quality medical care for everyone, everything else pales next to SinglePaye­r.  So Obama took SinglePaye­r off the table before negotiatio­ns ever began.

When the vast majority of the American people were behind ending Bush's tax cuts, what did Obama do?  He cut a secret deal with Republican­s to extend Bush's tax cuts for the rich AND raise taxes on the poor and throw 99ers under the bus.  Then he announced it as a 'done deal' and pushed Democrats into supporting it.  

Obama's done similar things throughout all of government­, whether it's giving out more deepwater oil drilling permits without any safeguards in place, no financial regulatory reform to prevent more bubbles, imprisoning illegal aliens in record numbers (making the privatized prison corporations rich at taxpayer expense), etc.  Now, he's put SocialSecu­rity, Medicare and Medicaid up on the table for cuts.
