Waiting for the President to “Welcome their Hatred”

Author: Validating MYTH Won’t Revive the Dying Middle Class
Just about every single time I write something critical of the President (which is pretty regularly, given his bent towards capitulation) I get emails saying, “what’s he gonna do? He can’t get tough with the Banksters! What about Citizens United!?,” “Let’s not start a circular firing squad here! We must support our President! ” and would you rather have President Palin?
Well no, I wouldn’t want a “President Palin,” but I not too sure that supporting someone simply because “they’re not Palin” is necessarily doing what needs to be done to pull the middle class out of this slide into Serfdom.
Some say that we have to support The President as he crawls over to the Chamber of Commerce and begs them to let some crumbs fall off their tables in America rather than continue to create jobs in places with underpaid labor pools… they say he can’t “go all ‘FDR’” on them because of the corrupt Supreme Court Citizen’s United ruling which ignored precedent and opened the stops on corruption, allowing (for the first time) vast reservoirs of corporate funds to flood federal elections.
Despite the fact that the US chamber opposed “buy American” provisions of the 2010 jobs bill opposed bill to crack down on outsourcing and bring jobs to U.S., defended outsourcing of U.S. Jobs (arguing that Americans are “short of skills”) and vowed to fight any attempts to reduce outsourcing.

The President desperately tried to appeal to a sense of patriotism these actions clearly illustrate the Chamber does not possess.
The President said, “For all the disagreements, Tom (Donohue, the chamber’s president), that we may have sometimes on issues, I know you love this country. I know you want America to succeed just as badly as I do.
Really?
Never mind the truth that the Chamber of Commerce is nothing but a right-wing lobbying group with no loyalty to country or community, recently exposed for working with private security companies to dig up dirt on the families and children of the Chamber’s political opponents and develop sabotage campaigns against progressive groups and labor unions. The Chamber is worse than an international organized crime family because, at least the mob follows ethical rules about targeting families.
The Washington Post reported in an article titled, “Obama’s speech to U.S. Chamber of Commerce disappoints progressive groups”
“A progressive New York group called the Agenda Project released a video slamming the president for meeting with the chamber, which over the past two years had been the equivalent of the White House’s arch-enemy. The chamber clashed with the administration over foreign money in elections, the health-care law, the financial regulation overhaul and numerous other issues.
‘Two weeks ago the president promised that he would work to rebuild people’s faith in government — meeting with the biggest lobbyists in the country is hardly a step in the right direction,’ said Erica Payne, the Agenda Project’s founder.
Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen’s Global Trade Watch, was just as harsh:
‘It’s unclear what is more mortifying: President Barack Obama choosing the club of America’s notorious job-offshorers to talk about the importance of creating American jobs, or his rallying of his fiercest political opponents to help him overcome the majority of Americans who oppose more-of-the-same job-killing trade agreements and pass a NAFTA-style deal with Korea that the government’s own analysis shows will increase our trade deficit.”
Many of the President’s supporters resigned that capitulation is the best he can do given the circumstances, call him a pragmatist walking a fine line during the New Gilded Age on Steroids in the midst of Faux News propaganda, and unbridled financial corruption of elections.
But FDR had Father Coughlin who drew 40 million listeners frightened by economic hard times in the early thirties to his Sunday afternoon radio program. That’s double the 20 million Rush Limbaugh claims for his audience. The same Big-Moneyed interests that Father Caughlin rallied the dupes of his day to protect, are also the same interests who actually plotted a fascist coup against FDR which was secretly financed and organized by leading officers of the Morgan and Du Pont empires, and only thwarted when General Smedley Butler, having been approached by the richest families in America to lead the military against Roosevelt, went to Congress and blew the whistle.
Today, we are still up against the SAME “Privileged Princes” of “new economic dynasties, thirsting for power,” who “reached out for control over government itself,” but rather than take the argument to the People, President Obama naively tries to woo the “Economic Royalists” (and their Republican operatives in government) by appealing to their sense of patriotism and mercy for the middle class they have already systematically destroyed.

Homophobic, Racist, Sexist, Reactionary, Ex-Nude Model wins Mass Senate Seat
Republican Scott Brown, who campaigned on a “small government” platform and used his Massachusetts Senate post in 2007 to vote for an amendment banning same-sex marriage, won the Massachusetts Senate seat Ted Kennedy held for nearly half a century. Ted Kennedy is rolling in his grave and President Obama is left admittedly “frustrated.”
The spin from MSNBC and the alleged “liberal media” is that this is a message to Democrats to “back off from the liberal agenda” but this is more of a slap in the face to the fact that Democrats CAN’T DELIVER THE LIBERAL AGENDA.
Frankly, Democrats don’t come out and vote for candidates who TALK like liberals but WALK like Republicans. When Democrats act like Democrats people come out and vote for them – when they act like “Republican Lite” why bother?

Baucus Runs His Sham Bill Past His Masters Before He Gives It To The White House
Democrat In Name Only Max Baucus
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs admitted today that Democrat In Name Only Max Baucus ran his bill by the Conservative K-Street Project Lobbyists before he handed it to the White House. It is safe to assume that Baucus’ pro-industry bill, which will ensure trillions in profits for the health insurance industry, HMOs and the pharmaceutical industry, got a nod of approval from the Republican Corporate Lobbyists who want to continue sucking profit from the miseries of the American People.
The K Street Project, launched in 1995 by Jack Abramoff money launderer, Grover Norquist and the indicted on charges of violating campaign finance laws “I AM the Government,” Tom DeLay, is a filthy Republican plot to corrupt our government of We The People with vast monetary resources to make it function solely to benefit the causes of the rich at the expense of the People.

Max Baucus Spits on Ted Kennedy’s Grave
Democrat In Name Only and the Pay or Die Health Insurance Lobby’s “inside man” in the Senate Max Baucus has released details of the sweet deal big giveaway to his corporate masters which, by their orders, does not include a public option.
Recently Baucus, The Democrat in Name Only leader of the Senate Finance Committee who pretends to represent the People of Montana, actually lied to the Montana Democratic central committee chairs through his bought and paid for mouth and told his strongest supporters that he supported a public option.
