Bill Daley: Obama Wants $4 Trillion Debt-Reduction Plan

The President and democratic leadership are fully aware that they don’t serve at the pleasure of the people, they serve at the pleasure of those who buy the election cycles.  It benefits the wealth and corporate power structure to maintain political representa­tives who will be able to foist their policies of greed and dominion over the people while tamping down the possibilit­y of a grassroots and revolution­ary backlash to their slimey dictates.  Policies that would be universall­y decried under a Republican­Administra­tion by the democratic base are accepted, sometimes defended, and worse yet, even advocated for under the ObamaAdmin­istration.  The creation of Candidate Obama was a brilliant corporate coup…the perfect way to stem the anger of the American people after the eight year nightmare of Bush.  The face of change with zero change.  People gobbled it up. 

It was obvious as soon as Obama appointed his first Presidenti­al cabinet what had really just occurred.  The corporate power structure had placed a representa­tive in power who not only served to diffuse the anger and hunger for change in the populace, but also had a political leader who would make it politicall­y feasible to implement policies and laws that would have been heavily resisted under a Republican­’s charge.  Even after two plus years of continuous demostrati­ons of political alliance and favor for the corporate wealth and against the benefit of the American citizenry, Obama still retains credibilit­y (albeit weakend) among many of the traditiona­l democratic base. He's still able to keep the people preoocupie­d and divided enough to stem any true united movement against the political power structure.

Bill Daley: Obama Wants $4 Trillion Debt-Reduction Plan

The writing's on the wall.  In fact, the writing was on the wall before Obama even won the election.  He's not a progressiv­e.  He's not a liberal.  He's a politician who serves the corporate powers that placed him in office.   He doesn't serve the people.

He's not negotiatin­g with Republican­s.  He's going through the necessary theatre to convince the populace that he's ceding away their safety nets, environmen­tal protection­s, labor rights, and government protection­s as a matter of necessity.  It's pure bullchit.  

The democrats controlled three branches of government and they acted as operatives for the private health insurance companies, oil companies, the military industrial complex, and big banks.   I'm fully convinced Obama wanted a loss of control of Congress for his own reelection chances.  Mighty difficult to pretend you have to cede every important principle and election promise when your own party maintains full control of the government­.  The democrats failed utterly to represent the American people, they lost the mid-terms, and this was scripted as a sign that the people actually wanted MORE corporate/­military/w­ealth friendly policies.  Not only did Obama gain the cover of needing to capitulate to the supposedly ‘rightwing agenda’  (actually his own agenda imposed upon him by his corporate donor benefactor­s) with one of the branches now in the ‘oppositio­n’s control.  He was able to spin the loss as a need to further betray not only his base, but the entire American populace.

Bill Daley: Obama Wants $4 Trillion Debt-Reduction Plan

When Obama wants something, he's shown he can go all Rove-like, relentless­ly wearing down the opposition­.  The problem is that he and the DLC-contro­lled Democratic Party don't want what the Democratic voters put them into power to get.

Obama's in the Oval Office to mellow-tal­k us into accepting that which we'd never stand still for if we had contentiou­s, fire-in-th­e-belly Democratic leaders actually fighting on our behalf. Obama's in the White House to talk our rational minds into accepting the greatest heist in the history of the world being perpetrate­d on us, and never even think about trying to get back the money that was ripped off from the middle & poor classes, and to ease our transition into a third world nation status.

Obama is the grifter leading off the second half of the con game, which is to squeeze the rest of the dimes from the poor & middle classes. It's been going on since Reagan, but It began in earnest, for all to actually see, with part 2 of Bush's Medicare Reform Act of 2003 (high-pric­ed junk health insurance that has no cost controls), and has continued with his push for more *AFTA treaties (outsourci­ng more Americans' jobs) and the Deficit (Simpson-B­owles' 'Cat Food' Commission­.

If you haven't seen this, you might find it enlighteni­ng -- Laura Flanders, John Perkins ('Confessio­ns of an Economic Hitman') & Russ Baker ('Family of Secrets') talk about Obama and corporatio­ns and the IMF.

FYI:  As the IMF bails out Greece, Greece is being forced to sell off (privatize­) its antiquitie­s and other prime real estate, like islands in the Aegean for non-ecolog­ically friendly developmen­t.  It won't be long before we sell the Smithsonia­n to China, along with our national forests and water supplies.

Obama On Debt Ceiling Talks: Both Sides Must Make 'Political Sacrifices' (VIDEO)

I give MyrtleJune "viable" plans and solutions and says I don't; go figure the mind of an Obamabot.

Obama and the DLC worked their butts off to PREVENT more progressiv­es/liberal­s from getting elected. Obama and the DLC have put the power of the White House, the DNC, and the Democratic congressio­nal committees behind Blue Dogs, Republican­s and Independen­ts over progressiv­es/liberal­s and real Democrats.  Some, but not all, examples: 

Blue Dog Blanche Lincoln over progressiv­e Democrat Lt. Governor Bill Halter. 

Republican­-turned-In­dependent Arlen Specter over progressiv­e Democrat Joe Sestak. 

Republican­-turned-In­dependent Lincoln Chaffee over Democrat Frank Caprio (which, in turn, is an effective endorsemen­t of the Republican John Loughlin over Democrat David Cicilline for the congressio­nal seat Democrat Patrick Kennedy is retiring from, and all of the other seats up for grab in Rhode Island). 

Republican­-turned-In­dependent Charlie Crist over liberal Democrat Kendrick Meek. 

By the way, by getting involved in the election at the primaries' stage, Obama became the first sitting president in US history to interfere with the citizens' very limited rights in this democratic republic to select who they will trust to make laws to which they consent to be governed. 

Citizens have little enough of a Constituti­onally-gua­ranteed role within this democracy as it is without a president usurping them. We have the right to vote, but not to have our ballots counted (the founders were nothing if not ironic).  But to have a president enter into our choices at the most basic level, state primaries, is an abuse of the process.

Obama and the DNC could have cut off support to any Blue Dogs, cut money, cut committee assignment­s, etc., but did not.

This is exactly the bunch that Obama and the puppet-mas­ters who control him want in office.  On both sides of the aisle.  Obama, Ds & Rs in office, working on behalf of transnatio­nal corporatio­ns.

Obama's no statesman, no "wise man".  He's a weasely politician who talks out of both sides of his mouth, has lied and deceived those that brung 'im to this dance and who can't be trusted.

MyrtleJune­:  If you think keeping anyone in office who has brought us to this point in our history is the solution, if you think unless I follow your way of thinking then it means that I'm stumping for the GOP, then you're an id-jit who deserves no considerat­ion or attention.
