Ouch. I felt that butt whoppin from waaay over here.

If these buttboys wanted to they would use their fame, fortune and influence to launch a real grassroots movement, or yet, to not only expose Obama but the entire corrupt two party system.  Sadly, Americans need/want "leaders."  The people are to disoriented, too dispirited, too distracted by "celebrity gossip, too "loyal" to the Dem Party that it will take a concerted media drive and effort to wake them from their sleep.  A boost from some "insiders" would help.
 
Why doesn't Michael Moore do one "grand finale" docu-film, one that exposes the corruption, over time, of the Democratic Party, how it has sold it's soul, the reality that Dem Presidents have historically been bigger war mongers than the Rethugs (maybe the Dem Party is prone to war because of their "inferiority complex")  Because lord knows the Dem Party was in the cat-bird's seat, poised to rid America of Reaganism and Neo-liberal economics once and for all.   So much for peace and prosperity under the one who was "heaven-sent." Could this not be Michael Moore's "piece de resistance?" 
 
All these people do is nibble around the edges, never engaging in a wholistic, composite attack, to feckless to lead the people they claim to represent out of the political desert.  To be "nuanced" about what and who Barack Obama is/about, is in essence, to be a "complex" ass-kisser an intellectual coward, a promoter of absurdities.  Obama started positioning himself to "outBush" GWB during his transition period as Beverly says.  Or can we not go back further to his embrace of the Grand Chessmaster himself, Brezinksi, the intellectual architect of "muslim extremism," "divide and conquer," and the ongoing "Great Game."  Zbig, we recall, bragged about creating Al Qaeda, known then as the lovable "freedom fighters." (You know, sort of like the Right Wing Butchers, nun murderers in Latin America anointed "freedom fighters." )
 
It's becoming a shameful, laughable, derisive act to pretend the "poor President" is hamstrung by the big bad Right Wing, the evil Rahmn Emanuel, those horrible Blue Dogs, and the complex problems inherited from Bush.  Glen Greenwald does a masterful job putting this delusion bordering on social disorder to rest, check him when you get a chance.  It's an elaboration of what you've already heard here at BAR regarding the health care debacle.
 
Here's the last two paragraphs, but read the whole thing.  Maybe we can paraphrase Greenwald and say," Progressive Movement as helpless victims PERIOD":
 
 
White House as helpless victim on healthcare

"In essence, this reinforces all of the worst dynamics of Washington.  The insurance industry gets the biggest bonanza imaginable in the form of tens of millions of coerced new customers without any competition or other price controls.  Progressive opinion-makers, as always, signaled that they can and should be ignored (don't worry about us -- we're announcing in advance that we'll support whatever you feed us no matter how little it contains of what we want and will never exercise raw political power to get what we want; make sure those other people are happy but ignore us).  Most of this was negotiated and effectuated in complete secrecy, in the sleazy sewers populated by lobbyists, industry insiders, and their wholly-owned pawns in the Congress.  And highly unpopular, industry-serving legislation is passed off as "centrist," the noblest Beltway value. 
 
Looked at from the narrow lens of health care policy, there is a reasonable debate to be had among reform advocates over whether this bill is a net benefit or a net harm.  But the idea that the White House did what it could to ensure the inclusion of progressive provisions -- or that they were powerless to do anything about it -- is absurd on its face.  Whatever else is true, the overwhelming evidence points to exactly what Sen. Feingold said yesterday:  "This bill appears to be legislation that the president wanted in the first place."
 
Obama has orchestrated all of the fine mess he's put us in.  From the wars, wealth transfers, structural unemployment/poverty, lack of universal health care, deliberately ignoring double-digit Black unemployment and pain.   Sure, he inherited shit from Bush, but Bush was aided and abetted for 8 years by the Dems, and Obama has not only kept Bushies in his Administration, and failed to prosecute them, but he even has the "audacity" to exacerbate the problems he's inherited.  But at the end of the day, and one of several reasons he will go down in history as one of the worst of all time, is that OBAMA PLAYED the Progressives for Obama and "Liberals," and "African Americans," and "Gays," and "Hispanics," like a goddamn fiddle, and continues so even as wars grind America into the dirt and the reality that job losses are structural sets in.  These things, combined with the false hope created after 8 years of Bush dystopia, are poised to bring about one hell of a reckoning.  But, if not, maybe in a wicked sense he will go down in history as one of the best spokesman for the Imperium of all time.  We shall see.  Much will depend upon the continued absurdities of so-called progressives.
 
 

What else can you expect from these two?
Hayden, who was nothing but a liberal Democrat when he was in the California legislature, thanks to the fortune of his then-wife Jane Fonda. Or Bill Fletcher who was a part of the apparatus of the AFL-CIO bureaucracy for years.
Now, they're just sensing a new wind blowing.

That's PR, but rather good PR!! Very great quality of these activities such as online texas poker !!
