Obama's done it again - lunged to the right. He has chosen William Daly as his new Chief of Staff.
Fuck that!
It is over. He's done. There will be NO LIBERAL AGENDA OF ANY KIND. Not domestically, not in Foreign policy, not in monetary policy...none.
Here was the list: William Daly, ex governor Vilsack, the current dude Roush, and Tom Daschel. None of these guys is even CLOSE to liberal. At best, Daschel, a current lobbiest and Vilsack, a Republican-lite-type Democrat are the ones who are the most progressive, which is not at all.
Obama never even considered anyone left of center. Nobody. Right-of-center Daly, his choice, was against Health Care reform, and thought the Financial Regulation bill was way too tough on Wall Street.
Look, if you wanted to put a gloss on this travesty, you could have put Howard Dean on the list. Or Al Gore - and these guys aren't even seriously left. You then don't choose them, but you pretend you are considering them.
Nope. Message to ANYONE EVEN MODERATELY PROGRESSIVE: fuck you. Obama has zero interest in an agenda that goes against the richest and most powerful. However, he can't move fast enough to piss all over the working people of America. That is, well over 90% of us. That's our DEMOCRATIC president.
Good luck with that strategy, Mr. President.
On issue after issue, the electorate is massively left of current "center." Washington DC's "center" is to the right of Ronald Reagan's White House. Obama's center is right in the middle of the board room table at Goldman Sachs, or JP Morgan, or Citi Group.
Primary NOW!
