If Obama had no problem escalating the wars, if Obama had no problem pressuring Senate Dem-o-crat
s in keeping Lleberman in the Dem-o-crat
lc Cawcus (and then never using him to get popuIist legisIatio
n through, but only to do more of the same Boosh-Ch#n
ey-neeocon
-poIice-st
ate agenda,
using Joe Lleberman to hide behind and duck out on his campaign pIedge of transparency while
he gutted the FOlA),
why wouldn't Obama make Lleberman his Secy of D#fense?I suspect that the fix is in, and that the decision to put Lleberman in as Obama's Secy of D#fense has already been made.
As is Obama's style, he would couple retiring Lleberman from the Senate (in time for the DLC to maneuver a pro-corpor
ate candidate into place in Connecticu
t before the 2012 campaign season begins in earnest) with an offer to join his cabinet as Secy of D#fense as a win-win. Obama would think it's "a reasonable compromise
", lauding himself for 'cuttlng the bay-bee in half' again.
Obama's proven himself adept at corporate-
think. It's a typical corporate-
world solution to give promotions and golden parachutes when you have to move a Benedict Arnold Lleberman (no longer a Democrat) out of view (because of the Dem-o-crat
ic Party's base of voters), out of a position of liability (running again in Connecticu
t as an Independen
t when you need heavy Democratic turnout), but also keep him able to work on your shared interests and objectives
.
Whenever Obama's numbers plummet as they did last month over continuing Bush's tax cuts for the rich, he uses some *shock&awe
* event (the chuting of a DemocratIc congresswo
man and federaI judge and nein-year-
old girl) to raise them (like by his making a speech at the University of Arlzona, pushing again the false narrative that the chuting was the result of a hah-style ret-o'ric instead of loose ghun regs and mental iIIness). Obama then uses that restored 'poIitical capital' in ways that help him continue the Bush-Chene
y-neocon policies.
Obama is Boosh's 3rd term. The only remaining question is whether we're going to give it,
B(ush)-
C(heney)-
O(bama), a 4th one.
