Where Was The "Professional Left" A Year Ago?

Excellent article Sally. This whole ongoing dysfunctional relationship between the Progressives and the Rahmobama Administration has led many Progressives to a dilemma regarding the participation in the mid term elections. http://j.mp/ObamaGOTV is my response to a call from President Obama on OFA stationary asking for a pledge to vote.

Gibbs: Obama Still Wants To Feel Pressure From The Left

Sam Stein, this is a real puff piece for the Administration helping it to pull wool over the eyes of Progressives.



Right from Rahm's "Fucking Retarded" Progressives to Gibbs "Crazy" Progressives is a continuous effort to mask the Administration's walking back on the campaign platform as the move away from people's agenda (as in the campaign platform) to a corporatist agenda. Read Mike Mogulescu's article in Huffpost as well).



As they stoop lower and lower the Rahmade drinking Whitehouse has started displaying its Chicago style politics, i.e. "divide and conquer. According to Gibbs the President steel wants to feel "pressure from the left" without having and intentions to going to 3rd or 4th base. What a perverse orientation. Further they claim that this limited interaction is not possible from the "crazies" on the cable and elsewhere (?) who are impossible to satisfy - suggesting they apply their pressure elsewhere if the want any gratification. The only such lefty monsters on the cable seem to be Maddow, Olbermann and Schultz of MSNBC. A ridiculous statement considering these folks have carried water for the Administration once the flawed Bills are passed in order to pull their Progressive viewers behind the President's achievements Corporatist or otherwise.



This pathetic attempt at dividing folks whose only fault is protect people's interest and meet "Hold President Accountable" request WILL NOT WORK. I am pretty sure that Tavis Smiley's book "ACCOUNTABLE" has been burnt in a book burning ceremony conducted by Rahm Emanuel the ultimate corporatist.

It's Wall Street Corporate Liberals Who Are Undermining Democrats' Election Prospects

Super article as usual from Mogulescu. I liberally (quoted his article coining the term about the Kabuki Dance by the President around the Health Care Reform.



Just to see how far the President Obama has retreated walked back on his position of Corporatism consider the remarks he made he made during the campaign. It appears that the man has replaced "a man's word is his bond" with "a man's word is not worth a dime", especially when the man happens to be the President of the United States.



"Unless we're willing to challenge the broken system in Washington, and stop letting lobbyists use their clout to get their way, nothing else is going to change ... For far too long, through both Democratic and Republican administrations, Washington has allowed Wall Street to use lobbyists and campaign contributions to rig the system and get its way, no matter what it costs ordinary Americans."

~ Candidate Obama
