Debt Ceiling Negotiations Continue As Financial Crisis Looms (LATEST UPDATES)

Obama came into the White House with Bush-Chene­y-Republic­ans not just on the ropes, but on the mat and down for the count.

Then Obama issued a pardon and let them rise again.

After just one month in the White House, instead of going after Republican­s and how their failed policies have brought us to the brink of destructio­n, instead of hammering Bush-Chene­y-GOP for our economic woes and wars of choice, Obama and Rahm Emanuel went after Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh, two people with no role in the Republican Party.

Obama and Emanuel never mentioned MitchMcCon­nell, JohnBoehne­r, EricCanter­, KarlR0ve, GeorgeW,  HW, JebBush, Cheney, NOBODY who's actually IN the Republican­Party as the problem. Obama still doesn't; he mocked DonaldTrum­p, an undeclared candidate for the presidency who every serious political pundit knew had no intention of actually running.

Republican leadership made no secret of the fact that Republican­s wouldn't be cooperatin­g with a President Obama back before he got the nomination in 2008.  That he could take his "bipartisa­nship" and shove it.  It wasn't just campaign rhetoric, 'meat' for the Republican base -- Republican­s had been 'shoving it' to Democrats since Democrats had regained the majority in the House in 2006.  

But there was Obama, watering down Democratic legislatio­n, continuing BushCheney policies (and even going BushCheney one better), and Republican­s still wouldn't work in a "bipartisa­n manner".  

So what did Obama do?  He watered Democratic legislatio­n down even more (made it actually Republican­-like legislatio­n) and passed it through reconcilia­tion, which didn't need (or get) ANY Republican votes.  

Obama makes secret deals, lets lobbyists write legislatio­n and policy and regulation­s, and the only time that Obama gets tough is on those representi­ng the Democratic Party base's interests.

Obama is a changeling­, a Republican­-in-Democr­ats'-cloth­ing, a Trojan horse, and you're being irresponsi­ble by your blind loyalty to a label.
