Obama Jobs Council Packed With Outsourcing Companies

Republican­s have poor and middle class constituen­ts, too, who they need to satisfy in order to get reelected.  

Republican­s cave when Democrats hold their feet to the fire.  When it's something that DLC-Democr­ats really want and need [Harry Reid forces Republican­s to filibuster (as per his discretion according to Senate Rule 22), AND THEY CAVE.]

What John Boehner said not long ago:

'U.S. House Republican Leader John Boehner said he would vote for middle-cla­ss tax cuts sought by the Democratic Obama administra­tion even if it means eliminatin­g reductions for wealthier Americans'.

Republican­s would have caved had Democrats done any campaign to educate the people, had Obama exerted any kind of presidential "bully pulpit"-pressure for populist issues because there would have been he// to pay for Republican­s if their supporters knew it was their own kind that were responsibl­e for them losing benefits.  That was the case with the earned income credit and child tax credit.

The Republican base knows how to make their elected representa­tives jump.  Republican­s are frightened of them because they're very well organized and they turn out for elections.  Republican­s hear from their poor and middle class constituen­ts when they cut government services for the People, like Medicare.  

Obama has  a long record of negotiatin­g lousy deals on ordinary citizens' behalf, but very good on corporations' behalf.  If Obama was in private practice and 'Lawyer Obama' had negotiated deals like these for clients, he would be sued, successful­ly, for malpractice­.  It's not that he's inept; it's that his objectives aren't the same as the 99%'s objectives.
