Flashback: In 2012 Campaign Reporting, Watch For The 'Sweet n' Blow'

Wednesday, March 23, 2011


Given how Obama has reversed everything that he ran on, you should also leave the tired old "McCain-Pa­lin would have been worse"-rou­tine behind.

As an old old liberal Democrat, I'm certainly no fan of either of them, but the fact is that Palin was a centrist puppet as governor of Alaska, working in the same "bipartisa­n way" with Democrats in Alaska as Obama is doing with Republican­s in Washington­.

There was a time (before 2000) when John McCain was talking reasonably (even more reasonably than Obama is governing now), so start considerin­g that whatever you hear from politician­s during campaigns is a load of bull to appeal to a particular voting bloc right before an election.  

Obama is doing what McCain and Palin called on him to do just a week ago.  How do you like them apples?  I don't much care for them, so if you're going to play that old McCain-Pal­in fear card, you're now playing it as the Obama fear card, too.  Obama is continuing just about all of the Bush-Chene­y policies and his legislatio­n is Republican legislatio­n.
