George Soros Tells Progressive Donors Obama Might Not Be The Best Investment

Wednesday, November 17, 2010


No, not in primaries, dearie.

Presidents do NOT get involved in primaries. They do not endorse one member of their party over another member of their party. It has never been done before Obama.

And the reason is based in respect for the process of a democratic republic, and the People who agree to abide by the rule of law, who consent to be governed by it in exchange for being able to choose who among them they will select to make the laws they are to be bound by..

Citizens have little enough of a Constituti­onally-gua­ranteed role within this democracy as it is -- We have the right to vote, but not to have our ballots counted (the founders were nothing if not ironic). 

To have a President enter into the process at the most basic level, state primaries, and circumvent the People's ability to make their preference known, is a gross abuse of the process.

Obama was the first president to do it, beginning with the deal he made with Republican Arlen Specter when Specter left the Republican Party to become an Independent.

Obama then did the unconscionable by refusing to endorse Democratic candidates in the general election, "out of respect for the Independent candidates".
