Darwin Lives…
They said he came out of Chicago and played politics in the Chicago way. Hard scrabble. No one, not even his fiercest opponents could have predicted how easy it would be to roll the new president. But roll him they did. And now the law of the jungle prevails. Darwin apparently lives. It didn't help that his own party was spineless, and possibly leaderless. And now, Obama is on the brink of a presidential failure perhaps unparalleled in modern presidential history. And in his fall will be the fall of America. The fall will be so great it is hard to ...
Meet the New Boss
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed how 'Chuck', has managed to derail the democratic agenda? Almost single handedly? Give this man credit. He knows what he is doing. And considering the trashing his party took in the last election, it is no small feat to topple the agenda of the winner soon soon after an election. 'Chuck' never got that memo. He acts, and thinks and gets results as if his party still controlled the agenda. Down home farm boy charm, has charmed the big city rubes right out of power. His job is almost done. Another few ...
How Weak can one President be?
How weak can one president be? The answer is, 'very'. When Obama took office he thought to do politics differently. Less acerbic, more cooperative. Good idea I say. So too, did the people who elected him. The problem with the strategy is one needs a willing partner on the other side of the table who will equally embrace the value. What the president got was 'team rope a dope'. Frustrating as that can be, more frustrating is the absolute lack of spine on the part of the majority in both houses. With far smaller numbers Republicans would ran their opposition over ...
Save the party, save the country.
Too dramatic I think I can hear you say. No party is the country. In a more normal time, I would have to agree. We are not in normal. We are so far from normal, we can't even see normal. The Republican party is stealing not just an election, but a democracy. As important as the Democratic agenda is, more important is the integrity of our system of representation. When a party that lost an election can prevent the will of the people from taking form, the system itself is in trouble. How much trouble? How about the failure of the ...
Game Plan
Not that everyone else hasn't said, I just have a need to say it too. The game plan for Republicans is to win back power. How that is done, who or what gets sacrificed is besides the point. And while the party in power has been trying to do politics in a new way, the party out of power has been playing rope a dope. Successfully. What will happen next is this; the administration will be slow walked to the brink of the next election. Soon Republicans will begin a new line of attack-'to let the people vote'. The argument will ...
Break bread with this guy at your own risk.
Meet the big problem for Democrats not to mention, public policy. Max Baucus is Democrat in the same way Benedict Arnold was American, which is to say, in [caption id="attachment_204" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="health Comittee Chariman Baucus"][/caption] name only and for one purpose only. While enjoying the title his membership in a majority party has given him, Max has been an integral part of the Republican game plan. I'm betting a big Mac that next election if Max runs, he will run as either independent or Republican. Let's not blame Max. He got his seat and held it because a timid party allowed it. ...
