Despite all the spinning and supposed sloughing off of the election returns last night in key districts in Virginia, New York, and New Jersey, by White House officials, Obama and the DNC, quite frankly, these comments are both BS and the losses they engendered served them right.
Furthermore the appalling comments from an anonymous (of course) White House official that Bloomberg’s appalling third victory in New York, which is undemocratic, against the will of the people, and is a victory for nothing else than the corruption of money in politics for a man who has ruined this city, has contempt for everyone but the rich, and is doing his best to blacklist anyone who opposes him, (just like Obama) is yet again a sign of a White House and a DNC seriously out of touch. With democracy, it’s voters, it’s base, this country and the shape it is in, it’s mission as a party, and even the Constitution.
First of all, David Plough’s comments that CANDIDATE OBAMA is the same as the man who now occupies the White House is so laughable that it’s almost tragic. If it’s true then we voted for a liar and he should be impeached. If it’s not, then Obama is a spineless, shrinking violet, or political rube, or perhaps political sociopath, who deserves to lose, along with the other Democrats in DC, who think that abandoning their base, going right instead of left, are mired in corruption, and acting more like Republicans than Democrats is a winning strategy.
Because there are plenty of Republicans who advertise themselves that way, and if people wanted Republicans in office they would vote for them. And just did.
Not Democrats who pretend they are something else.
I say these victories for the Republicans (who I generally despise) serves the DNC right.
And should send an unmistakeable message to the egotistical idiot in the White House with an ego so large and a staff so egocentric that they take constructive criticism as “damaging” and count it as coming from enemies. When in fact it’s coming FROM THEIR BASE.
Who put the damn idiot in office.
Furthermore the thuggery, lawbreaking, lying, and continued Bush policies of Obama, might as well make him a Republican. Which I didn’t vote for, nor do I think is right. He has abandoned all the campaign causes he ran on, or subverted them under the advice of the worst and most corrupt insiders in DC. Again, for that he deserves this loss.
Obama needs to rethink, regroup, and seriously rethink his own strategy, his supposed brilliance, get off his sexist and elitist kick, and start letting really new ideas (and people) have access to the Oval Office. If not start firing most of his staff and cabinet. That includes YOU CASSANDRA BUTTS. Not to mention Rambo. And the cabinet heads of Labor, HHS, Interior and HUD. For starters.
Instead of spending all of his time propping up incumbants who are going to lose, and claiming Messiah status. And taking date nights to New York at $215K a pop at the taxpayer’s expense.
Does the man have a clue that this is the amount of money of at least six average annual middle class salaries that he spent to indulge his overprivileged and spoiled if not corrupt and lying wife? IN ONE NIGHT? Or his wife have a clue that the tennis shoes she loves to wear in her hypocritical and made for TV appearances at homeless shelters cost TWICE AS MUCH as the “stimulous” given out to the most poverty sticken Americans that OBAMA and his wife have DONE NOTHING TO HELP.
And then has the audacity to complain about being criticized for it in the face of a national economic meltdown? While giving all his corporate cronies all the best goodies in the bailout? While spending further tax dollars to promote the Olympics in his home town the year he gets out of office, to further promote his own career and reward his personal cronies. All again, on the taxpayer’s dime.
While bailing out Wall Street, covering up the cost, lying about jobs created, undermining Democracy, expanding Executive Privilege, upholding the expansion of FISA, underming FOIA, doing nothing to expand the civil rights of the LGBT community and even less for those with disabilities, continuing the drug war (even as his own FDA is approving trials for medical marijuana), creating a healthcare deform bill that is anything but, and in fact accomplishing NOTHING if one is charitable, but actually much worse, but perpetuating the crimes, and refusing to punish the worst crimes of the last administration. Including the perpetuation of two wars.
And spending as much money to promote a stupid war in Afghanistan as the ENTIRE DOMESTIC BAILOUT, which everyone except his corrupt and sexist economic advisor told him was too small. But he rejected, in his natural brilliance because of course, Obama is always right. Because he’s the Messiah, and much smarter than everyone else on the planet. Of course.
NOT.
The man is out to lunch.
So I would highly suggest dancing to a different tune over there at 1600 Penn.
And oh, by the way, that includes a personal meeting with me, over my jobs stimulous proposal, that will trim the budget, to the tune of the national deficit annually, create green jobs for years, not to mention create environmentally friendly clean energy, and I know, despite coming from a white woman in her forties (conspicuously absent from ANY high ranking White House or cabinet position in this administration) much less invited to the White House for the signing of legislation that she (as in me) was responsible for creating the situation for in the first place at an age Obama wasn’t even an elected official yet (IN DC, IN CONGRESS, at the age of 27) – the White House chose to invite a White Guy instead.
If Obama wanted to be a sexist, racist, economically irresponsible, war mongering politician who refuses to listen and serve his constituents, instead of serving up the same old crap and creating the same appalling Washington insider’s game of lobbyists, money dictating policy, and cronyism, why didn’t he run as a Republican instead?
That way, voters could have had a much clearer vision of the man they were voting for, instead of the liar we now have in the White House who claims the moral high ground but actually feeds and revels in the mud and piggy trough, bails out the rich, ignores the poor, lives in a bubble, thinks he’s a Messiah, and has an ego complex that is intolerable just because he raised alot of money from corrupt rich people, just like his predecessors in the Oval Office for way too long, Republican and Democrat alike.
Change we can believe in? What a laugh.
And how tragic for the American people who believed it.
It’s time for a change in America, but it’s clear that Obama ain’t it. Just another self centered, egotistical, sexist, who’s only interest was winning, celebrity and personal promotion.
Who just deserved the bitch slap he got.
Who doesn’t deserve this is the American people, who are suffering under his deluded policies and cabinet and staffing picks. Not to mention a mountain of wasted debt.
And the progressive base who will now suffer with a Republican backlash this lying bastard will perpetuate.
Gee thanks dickhead.
And don’t you think some rethinking is in order Einstein?
Or maybe a rereading of the classic book “Presidents for Dummies?” Or the special edition, “How to be a progressive President For Dummies without alienating your entire base?”
