Reply #110: Obama could have changed this outcome two years ago by NOT making

[defendandprotect]

repeated deals with the GOP/corporates which strengthened them --

by NOT selecting a team which created the corporate deregulation/financial crisis --

and which profited from it --

and which then refused to sufficiently respond to it -- !!

The GOP was in collapse in '08 -- Obama breathed new life into their party --

Either Obama is fighting right wing corporatism with us -- or he is part of it -- which is it?


Now - having traded off his own mandate -- with fewer options --

Democrats should continue to push both tax cuts for middle class -- and

unemployment benefits for ALL those still unemployed -- in direct up and down votes.


The deal made on Social Security, as well, is the beginning of a very destructive attack on

the funding of Social Security -- a long time agenda of the GOP.


You might also ask, what could Clinton have done other than help pass trade agreements --

-- and 60 years of Welfare Guarantees were overturned? Not to mention Clinton's "team"

providing an earlier screwing up of universal health care -- Oops!
