Progressive Critics of President Obama Must Go All Out to Defeat Romney

Friday, July 13, 2012


I'm an old OLD liberal Democrat and the old "lesser of two eviIs" argument just doesn't work anymore.

Obama's continuing just about all of the Bush-Cheney policies, even going BushCo one better:  How do any of Obama's 'most ardent supporters' explain Obama's doctrine that presidents have the right to kiII American citizens with no due process, no oversight, and his push for 'indefinite preventive detentlon' and no transparency of anything a president asserts should be his secret?   Pure Kafka.

As a Democrat, I don't know how any Democrat can get behind this.  

At this point, I would argue that Obama and Democrats are worse.  Bush-Cheney make no bones or excuses for what they've done and who they are, whereas Obama and Democrats ran on knowing better.

It was Obama who put Social Security on the table, and I expect that should he win reelection, he's going to embrace Simpson-Bowles for some drastic cuts in social programs.

Just as Obama ran on SinglePayer, then backed down, then said he wouldn't sign any legislation that didn't include a public option, and then reneged, I'm sure that should Obama get reelected he's going to be cutting more secret deals with Republicans, just like the one he cut on Bush's Obama's tax cuts for the rich, that ends Great Society programs.  

He goes after undocumented aliens with a vengeance, then backs off to get the Hispanic vote.  He pledged not to use his Justice Department to interfere in States' medical marijuana programs and then shuts down legal dispensaries.  It's Obama's MO.  It's how he operates.  

Obama is nothing but a politician, and in the worst sense of the word.  He is not a man of the people; he's a tool of the Corporations.
