In reply to the discussion: I am so tired of Democrats not having the President's back - especially when he's right. [View all]DirkGently
(12,151 posts)16. The Third Way 2016 strategy taking shape?
It would make sense that corporate Dems would start building a right-of-Obama profile around more profitable hawkishness on Middle East issues.
Their stock-in-trade is to barely tolerate liberal social positions in exchange for lining all the old familiar pockets. And those pockets are likely screaming for another costly military excursion in and around oil-producing countries.
HRC's growing insinuations that Obama is too soft on foreign policy may be the point of the spear for Third Way hopes to drag the party even further to the right and the cozier relationship with monied interests they crave.
