"In many cases has been a corporatist..." [View all]

[cthulu2016]

Former Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer (D) has labeled President Obama a "corporatist." In an interview, Schweitzer criticized Obama for moving to the right as president, saying that for much of the last five years he had been a corporatist. He also warned that Hillary Clinton could do the same thing if she becomes president.

“The question that we have is, will it be the Hillary that leads the progressives? Or is it the Hillary that says, ‘I’m already going to win the Democratic nomination, and so I can shift hard right on Day 1,'" Schweitzer said in an interview with The Weekly Standard.

"We can’t afford any more hard right. We had eight years of George Bush. Now we’ve had five years of Obama, [who], I would argue, in many cases has been a corporatist,” the former governor said.

Schweitzer is seen as a possible White House contender in 2016 as well, and he did nothing to bat down that idea in the interview.
