Another BRILLIANT strategy in the offings ... [View all]

Cross posted from the BOG:

Notice what is occurring of late ... Elizabeth Warren {whispering} along with President Obama, announce a plan to protect pensions ... Elizabeth Warren and Elijah Cummings announce a series of talking sessions to inform Congress and the public of the progressive steps that must be taken to protect the middle and working classes ...

Progressive are ecstatic!

Now ... look at the progressive stuff being put out there: Pension security, Reduction of education's cost burden (e.g., cost of higher education and cost of educational financing), day care support, etc., all paid for by closing loop holes of (i.e., raising the taxes on) the wealthy.

Now ... look at where these progressive ideas came from: See President Obama's campaign Platforms for 2008 and 2012.

So much for the "he's not a progressive" narrative.

I wonder how many people think that President Obama and, Elizabeth Warren and Elijah Cummings, are disconnected rivals, with one side pursuing a "corporatist agenda" and the other pursuing policies that benefit the middle and working classes?

In short, there really is a "Team Democratic" {gasp}, working in concert to benefit the middle and working classes, and the Quarterback of that team is one, President Barack H. Obama.

Sometimes, the Quarterback hands the ball off; other times, the Quarterback passes the ball; still other times, the quarterback runs the ball his/her self ... but, always ... always ... there is a plan and that plan works best when everyone is running the same play.
