Bill Clinton Races To Help Democrats, Treading Where Obama Won't

I suggest that you consider Democrats & Republicans as working on the same side, as tag relay teams (or like siblings competing for parental approval). 'Good cop/bad cop'. One side (Republicans) makes brazen frontal assaults on the People, & when the People have had enough, they put Democrats into power because of Democrats' populist rhetoric.



Once in power, Democrats consolidate Republicans' gains from previous years, & continue on with Republican policies but renamed, with new advertising campaigns. They throw the People a few bones, but once Democrats leave office, we learn that those bones really weren't what WeThePeople thought they were.



Whenever the People get wise to the shenanigans & all the different ways they've been tricked & start seeing Democrats as no different than Republicans, Democrats switch the strategy. They invent new reasons for failing to achieve the People's business -- This current one, because "Democrats are nicer, not as ruthless, not criminal" etc., is custom-tailored to Obama's 'bipartisan cooperation' demeanor. It's smirk-worthy when you realize they're trying to sell that they're inept, unable to achieve what they were put into office to do, & that's "a good thing".

When it's topical, nobody is more incisively critical about Bill Clinton than me.



But right now, Obama is the president.



And both are the SAME as Republicans. You just confused by the packaging; you like and trust the 'D' stamped on Obama & Clinton.

Oprah Interviewing President Bush

They lend him credibility, and that is their s!n.



If Laura Bush was at odds with his policies, she should have left him. Bush and Cheney have brought this nation to the edge of collapse, destroyed the lives of the middle class, and murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi men, women and children, displaced millions more, and there is no recovery for anyone in their path. Not in this lifetime.

Bill Clinton Races To Help Democrats, Treading Where Obama Won't

Obama's already broadcast what he & Democrats are going to do if Democrats remain in the majority -- More caving by Obama & Democrats to Republicans:



==According to excerpts from the Times, aides say that the president's been spending "a lot of time talking about Obama 2.0," brainstorming with administration officials about the best way to revamp the strategies & goals of the WhiteHouse.



And despite the predictions that Democrats may relinquish a large degree of legislating power, including perhaps control of the House & even Senate, Obama isn't thinking of the next two years as a period that'll be marked with the same obstructive nature from the GOP.



"It may be that regardless of what happens after this election, [Republicans] feel more responsible, either because they didn't do as well as they anticipated, & so the strategy of just saying no to everything & sitting on the sidelines & throwing bombs didn't work for them," Obama says in the article. "Or they did reasonably well, in which case the American people are going to be looking to them to offer serious proposals & work with me in a serious way."



DickDurbin says Obama's post-election agenda "will have to be limited & focused on the things that are achievable & high priorities for the American people." TomDaschle says Obama has to reach out more: "The key word is inclusion. He's got to find ways to be inclusive."==

Bill Clinton Races To Help Democrats, Treading Where Obama Won't

Did the Senate pass those "over 400 pieces of legislation"? (No)



Democrats in both chambers of Congress work as a team. They identify what they hope to achieve (pro-corporate legislation) and then strategize how to get it while saving each other's hides with constituents come election time.



Those in liberal districts get to talk a good game about being champions of the People, but when push comes to shove, if their votes are needed to cross over and k!ll liberal legislation (like a public option or access to ab0rtion), the DNC will make sure they are covered come election time, with massive infusions of money into their campaign war chests and crushing any principled challenges to them from the left in their primaries.



Here's an example of how they tag team us - Progressive Congresswoman Woolsey Endorses Pro-War Blue Dog Jane Harman Over Progressive Marcy Winograd:

Bill Clinton Races To Help Democrats, Treading Where Obama Won't

Democratic voters, for the most part, still haven't finished their love affair with Bill Clinton.



Like the real debate & assessment of Reagan that's never happened, we've never assessed Clinton's true legacy. Eliminating the social welfare safety nets, Glass-Steagle, the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, rendition, privatization, the sanctions & daily bombing of Iraq (& so much more) laid the foundation for what Bush-Cheney did to decimate the country. As Alan Greenspan said, "Bill Clinton was the best Republican president we've had in a while."



The same is so for Obama. More so.



I keep hearing the latest DLC pitch for not throwing Democratic incumbents out of office on November 2nd: "Do you want to return to the failed policies of Bush-Cheney & Republicans?"



When did we ever leave them?



Obama-Biden have been continuing just about all of the Bush-Cheney policies, and the DLC-controlled Congress has been watering down real Democratic legislation, turning it into Republican­-legislati­on.



Republicans love it -- They don't have to vote for it, which satisfies their base's need for knee-jerk tribal warfare between the 2 political parties (how many times have you heard Republican tr0IIs declare that a bill "must be bad if Democrats are for it"?), AND, it satisfies their & Democrats' shared Corporate Masters. They get amply rewarded with great big donations to their reelection campaigns.



What Obama's been doing should be shocking to all real Democratic voters.

Rep. Peter DeFazio Investigating Impeachment For Chief Justice John Roberts

If we want to be even more precise, we could go back to when Rumsfeld & Cheney schemed to squeeze out Gerald Ford's trusted aide, Robert Hartmann, and got Ford to pardon Nixon.
