Mr. President? How 'Bout Now?
And since the last post….what happened? We are witnessing the fall of a President that showed genuine promise once. The situation is now more dire than most people will realize.
President Obama and the Democratic majority are failing. Failing miserably. Not just in action and decision, but in principal as well.
The Right Wing is proclaiming that Massachusetts is a “referendum” on health care. “The people” saying they don’t want it. That is a lie, but what’s worse is that Democrats are buying it.
Again, the obvious is clear. Low pro-Obama voter turnout since the ‘08 elections is a direct result of the Liberal base of the Democratic party abandoning the President and his broken version of our agenda at the polls.
Why is most obvious. As we read in the previous post, Liberals vote for principals, not characters. We did not vote for Barack Obama, we voted for our principals and chose him to be the one to implement them. Thus far, he has failed.
A few smaller issues have been addressed, but the meat of the agenda has been forsaken.
The writing on wall has been there for the entirety. All the major progressive blogs, the rest of us, the big money organizations like MoveOn, PDA etc…Did the Democrats really think we wouldn’t dare teach them this lesson?
Wake up and smell the roses, morons….
From MoveOn:
82% of Obama supporters who voted for Brown support the public option, as do 86% of Obama voters who stayed home.
57% of Obama voters who stayed home on Tuesday support the Senate health care bill or think it doesn’t go far enough.
And of Obama voters who cast a ballot for Brown, nearly half (49%) support the Senate bill or think it does not go far enough. Just 11% think it goes too far.
The numbers are the same as they’ve always been. Which leads us to believe that Obama may be getting some very, very bad advice from those close to him. Centrist filth such as David Axelrod, Rahm Emanuel etc. have failed miserably to keep the president informed of the truth. The truth being that the Left runs this political party and without us, Democrats lose. That fact is now as plain as day. And it seems they still don’t see it.
Of course, Barack Obama should be able to see these truths without the help of his incompetent, Clintonista staff. He knows who came out for him in ‘08. It’s on him too.
President Obama and the Democrats have only one chance of remaining in power in the next election cycle. Drive the health legislation through with 51 votes and the Public Option intact, like they should have done months ago, and start acting like genuine populists. Otherwise it over.
The Liberal base will no longer tolerate being stabbed in the back. We’ve had it.
Stand with us or fall, Mr. President. You have no other option.
Again, and hopefully for the last time…. Understand the obvious, the only reason Democrats have suffered any losses, especially Massachusetts, is that Obama has lied about the Public Option and almost completely turned his back on those who fought so hard to get him elected. Liberals. Not Republican filth, not lazy-ass “unaffiliated” types, not the Centrists who love the smell of Right Wing ass. Liberals.
Light voter turnout since ‘08 should be the only red flag the Democrats need to see. But it seems they’re just as blind and self serving as Republicans.
Had they simply kept their promises and exercised the power Howard Dean handed them none of this drama would have emerged. The perils of unnecessary pragmatism.
It would be nice if the Dems could have seen the writing on the wall and woke up. The warnings and signs were there. The Left doesn’t vote for liars and cowards. Now they can count on us staying home in ‘10 too unless they pull their empty heads out of their asses and do what it takes to get the base back on board. The chances of that are slim, but if they don’t, Obama joins Bush in Failville after the ‘12 elections.
You see, the Left never quits. If our elected fail in their responsibilities, we will simply find other candidates and start again.
Howard Dean 2012 sounds pretty damn good right now.
