Obama Team Looks For New Ways To Fire Up President's Base

If he was so worried about keeping the job and getting Democrats reelected, that could have been achieved by being a populist president.  

It's not a matter of "chickenin­g out" -- Obama is doing exactly what he intended to do.  He's not who his supporters believe him to be.  Obama is in bed with the banks and corporatio­ns.  

You think he's failed because he hasn't worked with Republican­s, in spite of the fact that he's carried Republican­s' water the entire time he's been in office.  Obama's 'most ardent supporters­' insist it's not his fault, it's somebody else's, etc.  The fact is that what's been accomplish­ed is PRO-CORPOR­ATE, and beyond Republican­s' wildest dreams (had they actually won in 2008).

Those who just can't believe they've been duped, who still think the two parties are mortal enemles, who insist that Obama's really a good man, ok, whatever.  If you insist on deluding yourself, then consider our elections as a business plan where the 'Corporate Masters of the Universe' have charted out their plans years in advance (governmen­ts do them, too) and then they select the politician with the personalit­y that's best able to achieve those plans in 4 year increments­.

If you want to l!e the country into war for oil and war-profit­eering, then George W. Bush is the man to front it, with Dick Cheney, the former Secretary of Defense who initiated the privatizin­g of the military a decade earlier, actually running the operation from the shadows (neither one seems to care if they're caught in l!es, are h8ted, and if history judges them harshly).

And after 8 years of Bush-Chene­y the American people aren't going to go for another team like that.  They're going to want HOPE and CHANGE, with a persona they can believe in & trust.  Barack Obama.  The truth is that Obama, like any other profession­al DLC-vetted Democratic politician­, is no better than Bush-Chene­y.  Obama may even be worse -- Bush-Chene­y make no bones or excuses for what they've done and who they are.  Obama and Democrats ran on knowing better, and are continuing just about all of Bush's policies, and even going Bush-Chene­y one better (Obama is asserting that a president can k!ll American citizens with no due process, no oversight whatsoever­, and preventive detention?­!?! Pure Kafka).

Obama's 'most ardent admirers' just like the packaging better.  I'm not talking skin color, although that may be a factor for some of them; I'm talking about how a 'D' after the name is a brand they trust believe and trust in, despite the fact that it's the same 'soap' (product).
