American Crossroads Attacks Harry Reid For Not Bringing Nevada Enough Stimulus

And about Lieberman.



Obama was the one who insisted that he be allowed to caucus with Democrats.



Obama was the one who let Lieberman keep the chairmanship of the Governmental Affairs and Homeland Security Committee. That's the committee that whitewashed the Bush administration's failure during Hurricane Katrina. Obama rubberstamped that committee's not investigating Bush once Democrats took over control of government.



During the healthcare reform debate, Obama never once pressured Lieberman for threatening to filibuster any legislation that had a public option in it. Obama never pressured Ben Nelson, either.



Obama DID unleashed the attack dogs to go after Howard Dean when Dean said it was a lousy bill. Dean was then forced to get back into line. Obama did go after Kucinich for threatening to vote no on the healthcare bill, and we all know how that ended.



You're an id-jit if you still think Obama and the DLC-controlled Democratic party is on your side. You're k!IIing us all with your continued loyalty to politicians who are all working for the side: CORPORATIONS.

American Crossroads Attacks Harry Reid For Not Bringing Nevada Enough Stimulus

Obama came into office with the wind at his back, with more people having voting for him, a black man in good old rac!st America, than ever in the history of the US. They did it because of his ability to persuade that he was going to change the system, end the corporatocracy, lobbyism in government -- He was going to be the People's president, and not a corporate t00I.



During the Bush years, Democrats said if the People wanted change, they had to put Democrats in the majority in Congress. So in 2006, we did. Nothing changed.



Democrats said, "You have to give us more Democrats -- 60 in the Senate". In 2008, we gave them the 60. And the White House.



And no sooner did Obama get elected than he slammed on the brakes of the momentum of his election and a filibuster-proof Senate, did a 180-degree turn on his campaign promises and sloooooowed everything down. To "work in a bipartisan manner with Republicans", after Republicans had already announced they were going to block everything Democrats wanted to do, and vote no on everything, in lock-step.



And with 2 of the 60 at de@th's door (Kennedy & Byrd), Obama slowed the works down.



Anybody who still supports Obama or the DLC-controlled Democratic Party, who believes Obama & the DLC is for the People, is a m0ron.

Karl Rove's Anti-Stimulus Group Now Attacks Reid For Too Little Stimulus Spending

==========================================================



Who didn't see that coming?



So what kind of a scmvck is Obama for not doing what he should have done right from the git-go, been a president with baIIs, a leader with the courage of his (alleged) convictions, and pushed through a robust stimulus in the first place?



I don't want to hear the 0'bots' excuses, "No Republicans would vote for it", or "He's a master chess player," -- He's a politician, and not even much of a good one.

Simon Johnson: White House Failure To Appoint Elizabeth Warren Would Be The Last Straw

Me, a Reagan Democrat?



No.



Reagan Democrats weren't liberals or progressives. They are today's 'mushy middle' (centrist Democrats, Blue Dogs) or they crossed-over by the time of the Gingrich Contract with American to become what they always were in their heart: Republicans. Reagan Democrats tended to be blue collar, high school educated, relying on Fox News and USA Today for their information. Yuppies they were not, nor did yuppies vote for Reagan.

Levi Johnston & Bristol Palin Shopping 'Multiple Reality Shows'

I swear I will go to every single viewer's house and rip out their cable, and possibly their lungs, if they watch this show.



The entire family of Palins, nuclear and extended, needs to crawl back to their lives of obscurity in Wasilla, before John McCain plunked them down in the limelight and forced them on us, lock the door on the town, throw away the key, and leave us in the lower 49 to get on with our lives.



I swear, I swear, I swear I will.

Financial Reform Gives Geithner Sweeping Influence

I remember that article. I remember thinking at the time that the vetting process for candidates stinks, and that we won't get good, real populist candidates unless & until there is drastic and uncompromising change to our campaign financing system. Until corporations are no longer 'persons' and are prohibited from participating in elections and politics, all efforts to reform government are useless.



Basically, Obama got to the Oval Office because he stroked a banker's ego. Obama, figuratively, gave Wolf a bl0w job.



It's got to end. Or we'll end.

Financial Reform Gives Geithner Sweeping Influence

Believe it.



Last month, the White House asked a top big-business group for their wish-list, which the group submitted to Obama's Office of Management and Budget: It's a 54-page hit list that takes aim at regulations protecting the environment, workers, consumers and investors.

Obama is not, and never was, what Democratic voters thought or hoped he was.
