Simon Johnson: White House Failure To Appoint Elizabeth Warren Would Be The Last Straw

Obama's trying to work in a bipartisan way with Republicans sure worked on the most gullible in our electorate (the mushy middle -- centrists & Independents). Not only did it k!II the momentum of CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN (& accomplish) after the election, it became a mantra for the 2010 election, a good excuse for why Obama and Democrats wouldn't be able to deliver on their campaign promises: "It's all the Republicans' fault".



Other mantras, contradicting the 'excuse'-mantra would be circulated in other circles, such as a list of Obama's accomplishments (like healthcare reform) that aren't achievements for the People, but more BushCheneyRepublican-type corporate giveaways.



But all mantras are meant to distract the People from the fact that Obama and Democrats didn't and don't need Republicans to pass any legislation.
