And my statement still stands.
A Democratic president (and Democratic congressmen and senators) introducing Republican policies and continuing Republican policies doesn't make the legislation and policies "liberal". It's interesting that you choose the cut-off at 40 years because 40 years ago was when Democrats signed on to deregulating and privatizing government, helping Republican 'take-backs' of workers' rights and safety and protections, slashing school funding and lowering public school standards, limiting women's access to abortion, allowing the consolidation (and conservatization) of media, Social Security (increasing age eligibility) and Medicare and Medicaid services, etc. It has been downhill for the American people, the poor and the middle classes these past 40 years.
Nothing of what you said changes the fact that Obama had little to do with the Lily Ledbetter Act and that Lily Ledbetter affects a miniscule few, and that the real reforms needed for parity in wages between the sexes in order to bring lawsuits under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, i.e., disclosure of salary differentials, are ignored by Democrats.
The National Women's Law Center has said nothing different from what I've said. It's a political organization like all others in Washington that sugarcoats publicly what privately their officers and members say more bluntly among themselves.
Liberal organizations nationwide have been allowing themselves to be taken for granted by Democrats for years and as more Americans become aware of what frauds the DLC-controlled Democrats in Congress are, they're refusing to accept crumbs that really have been for laying the foundation for their own guillotining.
