Obama calls ineptitude on healthcare a “strategy”
OPS_admin | Dec 06, 2009 | Comments 0
Obama’s handling of health care so far has been a lot more dope than rope -a-dope.
For much of the healthcare debate as the town hall meetings got contentious and Republicans attacked, Obama laid on the ropes and covered up as he absorbed blows from Republicans, conservatives, and even Democrats unhappy with his lack of leadership and salesmanship in trying to get a health care reform bill done.
Obama sold out the public option every other day when the going got tough and the news media proclaimed it dead. It took the congress wresting control from Obama to save the public option and take control of the debate where Obama is now little more than a spectator.
Obama is now trying to claim this was all part of a grand “hands off” strategy that is now paying off, and theNew York Times, showing a gullibility that could make it a laughing stock, seems to have swallowed it whole.

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
