Paul Krugman: Obama Has 'Largely Accepted Conservative View Of The World'

Sunday, November 21, 2010


What's it going to take to get through to you, Beatriz09?

There is "no progress this president made".  No progress on behalf of the People.  No progress on any of the issues that Democratic voters put Obama into power to get for them.  It's been a continuation of the Bush-Cheney policies, with Obama going them one better on corporate giveaways of the People's money, the People's resources, the People's future.  

Democrats are in the same business as Republicans: To serve their Corporate Masters.  

I suggest that you consider Democrats and Republicans as working on the same side, as tag relay teams (or like siblings competing for parental approval). 'Good cop/bad cop'. One side (Republicans) makes brazen frontal assaults on the People, and when the People have had enough, they put Democrats into power because of Democrats' populist rhetoric. 

Once in power, Democrats consolidate Republicans' gains from previous years, and continue on with Republican policies but renamed, with new advertising campaigns. They throw the People a few bones, but once Democrats leave office, we learn that those bones really weren't what We, the People thought they were. 

Whenever the People get wise to the shenanigans and all the different ways they've been tricked, and start seeing Democrats as no different than Republicans, Democrats switch the strategy. They invent new reasons for failing to achieve the People's business.

Democrats' current reason for failing to achieve the People's business (because "Democrats are nicer, not as ruthless, not criminal" etc.) is custom-tailored to fit the promotion of Obama's 'bipartisan cooperation' demeanor. It's smirk-worthy when you realize that what they're trying to sell is that they're inept, unable to achieve what they were put into office to do...And their ineptitude, like that's somehow "a good thing".

I think you're in massive denial, to keep defending Obama in the face of all evidence to the contrary that he's what you think he is.   What would that mean to you, for your life, if you were to believe that Obama is not the populist, not the Democrat you believe him to be, but a Reagan conservative?  What would that mean to you personally?
