Obama's Blame Game: It's Not About Turning Out Voters, It's About Protecting Himself

If Republicans take control of the House, nothing would get passed?

How do you figure that?  

And if Democrats continue to control both Houses,  do you think Obama's going to keep flip-flopping on his campaign promises, and say that the election was a referendum on his flip-flopping, and voters want him to do more of the same?  Or do you think he's going to move to the left?

Obama's Blame Game: It's Not About Turning Out Voters, It's About Protecting Himself

And Bill Clinton is on board with Obama, so just goes to show how they all take voters to be id-jits.


How about weighing in on this?:

What do you think Obama is going to do after the election in just a few weeks if Republicans take control of one or both Houses of Congress? 

Do you think he'll veto the legislation they pass (through reconciliation and every other means they can manage)? Do you think Obama will take to the bully pulpit, urge Americans to bury Republicans in email, phone calls, snail mail, and urge Democrats to block Republicans every way possible? 

Or do you think that Obama's going to be making deal after deal with them, spinning what he can as somehow "Good for the People and Democrats", and/or, "I'm president of all the People, and the People in their infinite wisdom put Republicans in the majority, so I must honor their wishes and work with Republicans, and not try to obstruct their will"?


And if Democrats keep control of Congress?  Do you think Obama's going to keep flip-flopping on his campaign promises, and say that the election was a referendum on his flip-flopping, and voters want him to do more of the same?

No, you don't get it.  

An overwhelming number of voters in Arkansas are registered Democrats.

It's not like Halter comes out of nowhere in Arkansas; he's the Lt. Governor.  He's very popular.

House Overwhelmingly Passes Trade Sanctions Bill Targeted At China

American Citizens Get Stuck With The Security Bill, While China and Russia Benefit from Afghanistan's Mineral Riches

 

Although the U.S. government has spent more than $940 billion on the conflict in Afghanistan since 2001, a treasure trove of mineral deposits, including vast quantities of industrial metals such as lithium, gold, cobalt, copper and iron, are likely to wind up going to Russia and China instead of American firms.

The New York Timesreported Monday that U.S. officials and American geologists have foundan estimated $1 trillion worth of mineral depositsthat have yet to be exploited in the country. The paper said a Pentagon report called Afghanistan potentially  "the Saudi Arabia of lithium," a key component in batteries for cellphones, laptop computers and eventually, a plug-in fleet of electric cars.

But while the United States and other North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries are providing the bulk of the security for Afghanistan -- U.S. troop levels are set to rise to 100,000 by year's end -- the firms that are profiting from the resource boom are primarily Chinese, and to a lesser extent, Russian.

"China has an absolute advantage in Afghanistan as far as resource development goes," says James R. Yeager, a Tucson, Ariz., consultant who worked as an adviser to the Afghan Ministry of Mines.

Obama's Blame Game: It's Not About Turning Out Voters, It's About Protecting Himself

I am an old OLD liberal Democrat.

I have been voting the lesser of two ev!ls (DLC Democrats) since the DLC took over the Democratic Party in the late 1980s.  

I have watched the DLC take the Democratic Party farther to the right each election cycle, promising change and reform, blaming the lack of it on voters for not electing enough Democrats liberals progressives, all the while the party leaders are bankrolling pro-corporate DINOs over true liberals and cooperating with Republicans in Congress.  Never are the party leaders using the bully pulpit of their offices to educate or inform the American people as to the great traditions of liberal Democracy and how the People have prospered under liberal Democrats.

Currently, this DINO of a president has continued just about all of the Bush-Cheney policies and gone Bush-Cheney one better in several areas.  Civil rights abuses that Bush & Cheney could only fantasize about, never dare try, Obama's doing.  

How does any Democratic voter defend Obama after he asserts he has the right to k!ll any American citizen with no due process or oversight?  And 'prevention detention'?  And his claims of 'state secrets' to deny courts even look at his a$$a$$ination program?

If Obama didn't have a 'D' after his name, anyone looking at his actions would know that his most ardent supporters' belts don't go through all the loops for supporting what they claim to loathe about Republican.   But the 'D' after Obama's name is a brand they believe and trust in (as did I), despite the fact that it's the same 'soap' (product) as what Bush & Cheney gave us.  And worse.

Obama's Blame Game: It's Not About Turning Out Voters, It's About Protecting Himself

Welcome to my world online.

Keep in mind that many of those who are doing that are political operatives, paid to spread disinformation, provide any kind of narrative (desperate, and as off-the-wall as their accusations are) to sow doubt in the minds of people who your comments are resonating with.  The truth has a 'ring' to it, and they're trying to throw a '#CLANG# to distract readers' attention.  

Accusing you of being a Republican or a teabagger means you have them flummoxed.  They have no argument, they've run out of excuses to explain Obama and the DLC-controlled Democrats in Congress.
