My advice to Obama is the opposite of what Sarah Palin said at the Tea Party convention! I have had enough of Obama trying to get the Republicans to come on board. We won they lost – REMEMBER! I am sick of letting Joe Liebermann and his fellow travelers, the blue dog Democrats destroy the mandate of the American people! President Obama has fallen right into the Republican trap. They knew it would work even before he took office. How is that?
Well we had majorities in both houses of Congress. Did we use our power to de-fund the Iraq War or start impeachment proceedings against George Bush? No all you heard from Democrats was their pathetic mantra of “MEOW”! Because we have a proven track record of not being willing to cross the line in the sand made by Republicans while Bush was President and stopping the war or even impeaching him, they know they can win. Make no mistake they are winning because Americans want “action figures”! The ad below from the Democratic Party is a good start but not enough.
The Republicans have changed the rules of engagement so that you need a super-majority rather than a majority in the Senate! But it takes two to tango and Democrats are such pathetic losers, they have not played chicken with the Republicans by calling them on a filibuster.
President Barrack Obama has failed those of us who elected him because:
- The stimulus package had just a pittance for Infrastructure and Green Technology Jobs. AIG got far more.
- Instead of providing cover for members of Congress by lambasting the Republicans and their idiotic “Death Panel” scare tactics, President Obama joined the Democrats in Congress with their new meditation mantra, “MEOW….MEOW”. He could have started a “stop the corporate greed campaign”! Oh no we wouldn’t want to do that! We might generate some bad karma! Pass the Tofu please!
- We never had a super majority! We had Joe Liebermann plus some other losers. Face reality and proceed from there. Instead of trying to get the Blue Dog votes we should have appealed to the Silent Majority with an anti-corporatist and anti-globalization campaign. We should have framed the issue as “Individual Freedom vs. subservience to the Corporate Collective! No instead with masochistic fervor we engaged in the “Louisiana Purchase” and the “Corn Husker Compromise” with Blue Dog Democrats! We destroyed our creditability with the American people. Oh yes and the Democrat Congressional Response as we drifted down in the polls from Republican fear mongering! – “MEOW….MEOW……MEOW”!
- Yes it takes time to provide jobs. But maybe a more intense economic stimulus should have been applied while we had the creditability! Regardless Republicans were able to sell the American people that we didn’t care about jobs. They became the champions of Main Street painting us as friends of Wall Street. If we had gone on a class warfare campaign things would be different. They are waging Class Warfare against the middle class. So why shouldn’t we counter attack? Oh dear that’s too harsh. Let’s sing “Kumbaya” with the Republicans! Sure right! Tea anyone?
- Barrack Obama did not want to “point the finger”! Well now Mr. President the Republicans have given you the finger! If you do not forcefully and continually attack these Republicans for painting you as a Kenyan then what the hell do you expect? Americans hate weaklings! They want “Change” – get it! Hell you ran on it! This is not “silly season” in Washington Mr. President it is the destruction of the Democratic Party mandate! Let’s point the finger and constantly! – All I hear from Democrats is “MEOW”. I am sick of it!
The time has come to put the real underlying issue in front of the American people. That issue is “Are we a nation of one person – one vote”! Or “Are we a nation of one dollar one vote”!
Why shouldn’t we raise the progressive income tax? My God you would think that these people actually earned millions per year! Sure we want to have incentives for people to innovate! But the progressive income tax is just reality paying a visit to those who think that they actually earned millions per year.
No I am not talking about those who saved and invested over a lifetime to become millionaires! It is just that we must have a balance. That is why the Republicans are trying to destroy Obama and the Democrats. They want to reduce the middle class to subservience to the Corporations! While they sing their Corporate Internationale and ship our jobs, technology, and futures out of this country! This is not “innovation” to reward! I just wish I didn’t hear the whine of “MEOW” from Democrats anymore!

Today I watched Republican House minority leader John Boehner do a full court press spin on “Meet The Press’. He blamed the Democrats for not being able to lead the nation by pointing out the problems that Obama had with blue dog Democrats. What the host failed to press Rep. John Boehner on was that the Democrats had more than enough votes IF the Republicans allowed governmental processes to take place by not resorting to the filibuster in the Senate. “Meet The Press” host, David Gregory did not press Republican Minority Leader John Boehner that his Republican counterparts in the Senate were engaging in the filibuster at record levels! Hence the Democrats had to have all 60 votes not just 50 votes plus Vice President Biden to act as the breaking vote to pass. While Rep. Boehner is a member of the House not the Senate, none the less the record Senate filibusters are the only reason the Democrats have come to a halt.
President Barrack Obama did an excellent job speaking to the Republican House Caucus. He requested that the cameras keep rolling during the question and answer session that followed his speech to the Republican Caucus. He had command of the situation and the facts. Remember the sneers at Barrack Obama that he was a novice?
Well here is an idea for a Grass Roots Progressive Action Plan!
Why not reciprocate? That’s right why not have Sarah Palin address the Democratic House Caucus! To give her equal treatment just like when Obama spoke to the Republicans, have a question and answer televised session after! No teleprompters! After all unlike Barrack Obama who was a “mere community organizer”, in Sarah Palin we have an intellectual power house! We have John McCain’s word on that! See The video below.
Frankly I am feed up with Democrats being so airy faery when it comes to taking on Republicans. Can you imagine that the Republicans were actually stealing the issue of being middle class defenders against big corporations and Wall Street?
Today the Supreme Court ruled that corporations can engage in “Taxation Without Representation” by unrestricted funding of political ads for or against candidates and issues of their choice! Guess where their funding is going to come from? It is bad enough that these effete snobs of privilege earn more in one day then many earn in one year! But they will not simply stick their hands into their slothful deep pockets to fund their class agenda but will forcefully stick their hands into the pockets of America’s Silent Majority – our great Middle Class! The modus operandi of financing their corporate K-Street agenda and this transfer of wealth from America’s middle class to the corporate elitists will be via:
Americans love “action figures”. George Bush Jr. did not even have a majority when the College of Electors gave him the presidency in the 2000 election. Gore had the popular vote regardless of Florida. But Bush became an “action figure” when the issue was terrorism. So what he invaded the wrong country, Iraq! Americans love ACTION! His action, even wrong action, gave him a second term. Hell even the liberal MSNBC was re-airing the invasion of Iraq with all our “shock and awe” technology to it’s liberal audience well into the second term of George Bush. Then the issue was the economy and jobs. The Republicans preached what George Bush Sr. called “voodoo economics”. The same hands off economics of Herbert Hover. Obama promised “change” he presented himself as an “ACTION FIGURE”. Below is a video, not from a politician but an average American whose frustration and anger I agree with 100%. Thank you Justin for the video!
