They beat up on Bush for 8 years and now they are having a slobbering love affair with Obama no matter how inept he proves to be. What Ed conveniently ignores is that Obama's policies have been a mixture of neo-con and neo-feudal. Very little liberal, and nothing progressive about them. President Obama's actions are so far from what was promised by candidate Obama, the only honorable course left for him would be to resign. Obama is not a communist like you, but he is still plenty liberal. If he had any guts, he would insist on a public option for health care reform. But that would be against the corporate elite that rule the country. Some corporate elites are against a public option, others are in favor of it. The so-called Blue Dog Democrats do not exist. A Democrat is a Democrat is a Democrat. Obama is a weak-kneed pussy if truth be told. However, he did the right thing about Afghanistan. Democrats are notoriously lax with regard to national security issues, so he had better watch himself as we conservatives are ready to pounce on him if he plays loose with American security. Oh Ed, now you are just being silly. Afghanistan has always been about Central Asian natural gas reserves, not terrorism. Besides, things are going so well: http://www.juancole.com/2010/01/serial-catastrophes-in-afghanistan.html. And the whole "War on Terror" was obviously always about manipulating public opinion, not fighting terrorism. Afghanistan belongs more to the subcontinent than Central Asia. What natural gas would that be? The best thing that could happen that would convince you that the war on terrorism is real is if some of them would show up in your neighborhood and blow your dumb ass sky high! Obama will now have to concentrate on getting the job numbers up or he will be just a one term president. Americans will not stand for high unemployment. The USians that count want high unemployment. Low unemployment gives the proletariat too much power - workers scared of unemployment are more compliant. In addition, high unemployment aids military recruitment to fight wars of imperial conquest. And there are always prisons for those who complain too much. http://www.openleft.com/diary/16774/why-democrats-are-trying-to-commi.... As always, you are so intent on looking behind the scenes that you miss the main scene, which is that of politicians wanting to get reelected to office. That depends on voters, not corporations. Prepare for a big turnover this midterm election if the economy does not pick up. "To the elites, ordinary Americans are pretty much parasites. It's not the bankers, with their multi-trillion dollar bailouts who are the problem, it's old people with their Social Security and Medicare. *The elites made it. *They are rich and powerful. They believe that their success is due entirely to themselves (even if they inherited the money or position). *If you didn't, then that means you don't deserve it." - Ian Welsh The trouble with the above is that the elites only number in a few hundreds of thousands, whereas everyone else numbers in the hundreds of millions. Numbers count more in the end than the wealth of the few. Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - The only need a fraction of the population to control the rest. And the people who work for the government are part of the first group. |
