Obama: Election Groups 'That Receive Foreign Money' Are A 'Threat To Our Democracy'

Thursday, October 7, 2010


Obama referenced the investigation, warning that "groups that receive foreign money" are a "threat to our democracy".
==========================================

So what's he going to do about it?

Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.

How does a Democratic president, on the heels of the most criminal and corrupt administration in the nation's history, not replace Bush-era US attorneys?  This is what Obama's US attorneys do instead of returning the democracy to the American people -- Instead we get Bush-style obscenity prosecutions:

FYI - Presidents may fire US attorneys, and they do so routinely at the beginning of a new administration.  It is unusual to fire US attorneys in mid-term (as Bush did) except in cases of gross misconduct (which wasn’t the case during the Bush administration).

We need a real Democrat in the Oval Office, and real Democrats in Congress, instead of these DINOs.  With fire in their bellies to go after those who obstruct the People's business (Republicans), and not fire in their bellies to go after the Democratic Party's base.

~Have a nice day.~

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

With that sarcastic line, you show you have no more less odious principles than you think Jane Hamsher or Norquist or Reed or Abramoff have.  

You're no different than any Bushie or PUMA or teabagger, or anyone whose judgment is clouded & loyalty misplaced, who is run by ig.no.rance and fear and a sense powerlessness that causes them to be taken in by slick, smooth-talking individuals spouting focus-group-tested words and phrases designed to take in the least intelligent among us.  

Your judgment st!nks, and it's led to the mess We The People find ourselves in today.

For you to have a problem with what Jane Hamsher did means that you were used by Rahm Emanuel no less to distract from Hamsher's call for his resignation because of his efforts to work against your own best interests.

 This is what Jane Hamsher did:

This is why she did it:

Obama Will Not Sign Bill Seen As Cover For Bank Foreclosures


I read it and no, David Dayen has written a 'hope'ful piece, and not anything like what you suggest.

He suggests that this may be what like what Obama did the last time he did a pocket veto, which also included (but is missing here) a memo of disapproval "just to be sure the job was done", but "We'll have to wait and see the official Memorandum of Disapproval (if there is one)".
 
'UPDATES' were included to the article at FDL within the last 10 minutes (Leahy and Conyers weighing in), and while it's certainly looking better that Congress may decide to ignore the fact that it's not actually in recess., it's still not a done deal (and if it is, you should be thanking people like me who are MAKING THESE PEOPLE DO IT).  

And as long as you're holding out FDL as a valid source, FDL doesn't doubt that Obama and Democrats will do it after the election.

"In bed with Grover Norquist"??

The things you 0bamabots come up with to justify voting against your own best interests.

It's really amazing.

By your logic then, you must be furious about Obama's giving Bush and Cheney a pass, not hold them or anyone in their administration to account.  Bybee, John Yoo, the CIA psychologists who designed the t0rture program, all should have you frothing about 0bama.  And what about 0bama's getting into bed with Joe Lieberman, insisting that Lieberman caucus with Democrats, be given the plum chairmanship of the Department of Governmental Affairs and Homeland Security, only to carve up FOIA.

You're a silly person, ErnestineBass.

Democrats are only acting like Republicans in that they've punked Democratic voters.

If the President does not sign or veto the bill in 10 days, it becomes law without the Presidents signature, if Congress is in session. 

The Senate is in session!


This bill becomes the law of the land tomorrow.
