Cornel West Spars With Ed Schultz About Obama (VIDEO)

Obama's not a progressiv­e.  

"Privately, Obama describes himself as a Blue Dog Democrat"


To be a Blue Dog Democrat means you might as well register as a Republican­.

Candidate Obama was all over the place, depending on who was talking to at any given time and what day it was in the campaign, which primaries were done with and who he didn't need to woo anymore.

Obama got into office by misleading Democratic voters. He ran to the left of Hillary Clinton. He convinced centrists that he was a centrist. He convinced liberals he was a liberal posing as a centrist. 

Obama's a lawyer (and I mean that in the worst sense of the word), choosing his words very carefully (lawyer-sp­eak) during the campaign, giving people the sense of what they wanted to hear to get their vote. It's why even among his most ardent admirers, they still argue about whether he's a liberal or a centrist or a moderate Republican­.

Doing what is good for transnatio­nal corporatio­ns is what Obama is about, and trying to sell it as good for Americans is what he does afterwards­.
