Bill Clinton Strikes Back At Rachel Maddow
Many of what you say is true (energy independence, surplus, wealth inequality, etc.), Carter bought into the privatization and deregulation begun under Nixon. Especially with regard to healthcare.
We need Democrats who fight like Republicans, with fire in their bellies, and who aren't interested in "working with Republicans in a bipartisan manner", but in driving them off the national stage and giving liberals microphones and access to the public's ear and eyes.
No more Mr. Nice Guy.

This is very sad.
Comments, not by me but by others to which I'm replying, are being scrvbbed for no apparent reason.
Are H P m0ds able to do this? Are they able to shape the nature of the discussions by scrvbbing comments that lend political impressions they don't want out in the H P readership?

The Clinton years were economically the best for me so far in my adult life.
=================================================
At what cost?
You only think that because you've yet to stand back and look at what the real cost has been.
You've actually been robbed.

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.
Obama came into office with the wind at his back. More people voted for him, a black man in 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, not a corporate t00I.
And no sooner did Obama get elected than he slammed the brakes on the momentum of his election & a filibuster-proof Senate (tentative yet, with 2 senators, Kennedy & Byrd, at d.e.a.t.h's door, Obama did a 180-degree turn on his promises & 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 lockstep.
Since Obama has gotten into office, he's continued most of Bush's policies & his 'accomplishments' are being spun as "reform" when, in fact, they're Republican in nature.
There could be 100 "progressives" in the Senate & 435 in the House, & they & Obama would still find a way to deliver to corporations instead of the People.

Like Al Qaeda with fewer than 100 in Afghanistan, the Tea Party has fewer than 600 members nationwide.
The Tea Party is the means by which the Republican Party tosses its most active fringees some red meat.
Makes you wonder why Obama and Rahm Emanuel didn't go after Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, Feith, Wolfowitz, Yoo, Bybee, et al, or anyone in the Republican leadership or in Congress, but instead went after Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin (two people with no official role in the Republican Party).
The GOP was on the mat (not even the ropes) and de@d after the 2008 election, but Obama and Emanuel have let them rise again.
