Introducing your new Republican president: Barack Obama.
No, it's way worse than my last post. Obama caved on the tax cuts for the rich. Not only that, he also gave a huge tax cut on the inheritance tax, tax cuts for payroll, and...failed to get anything but SOME unemployment relief. No DADT, no START treaty, no dignity for himself, or any of us.
$70,000 EACH to the top 1%. A few crumbs for you. This is what your seemingly Republican President is now fighting to defend.
Obama said that because the Republicans were holding the unemployed hostage, he HAD to give in. No SWAT team, no posturing, just cave. He says wait for another two years, then he's ready to fight the economic terrorists who take Americans hostage. Now, he negotiates with terrorists. Great, the plan that killed Jimmy Carter.
What is the worst, though, the absolute WORST...is his sudden and total validation and support of supply-side economics. Obama now says that tax cuts for the rich are CRUCIAL for the economy.
No, no...this is the Republican position! The fucking position of your, well - supposed opposition. Dude, you are campaigning against your own party, and your own base. In a big way.
NO! You are fucking done. Who do I need to support? Feingold? How about Howard Dean? Dean knows how to play the game. Jesus, he's a big reason Obama was elected in the first place.
Primary NOW! Change 2.0 NOW! Obama is done, he will not win in 2012. And even if he did, whoopie! A Democrat who defends just about every Republican position against his own base. Obama, who assumes that he will lose before the cards are dealt, who only fights his own supporters. He sucks in the worst way.
And for the apologists, you are wrong. Yes, Obama DID say that he wanted to push the tax cut issue before the primary. Yes, Senate Democrats DID wimp out. This is all documented. But at the same time, Obama's WH leaked that he was ready to deal. He has always done this, and the Senate has learned. Obama is ready to throw Democratic House and Senate members under the Republican bus with the knowledge that he will compromise NO MATTER WHAT THE OUTCOME OF THE FIGHT IN GOVERNMENT. I'm amazed the House still fights at all. Obama's the worst, and at the worst time for our great country.
Aaahh, who do we run? I don't agree with all of Howard Dean's positions, but he knows how to win.
Run somebody who will fight for a moderately liberal position.
Run somebody who will fight for working families.
Run somebody who will FIGHT.
Obama won't. Change 2.0. PRIMARY NOW!
