Get Wall Street out of the American Government!

I offer a loud second to Cannonfire's post today on Peter DeFazio. Mr. Cannon boils it down to 4 simple words: We have been betrayed.

Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR) wants Goldman boys Geithner and Summers removed. More than that, his interview on MSNBC's The Ed Show signals a significant shift on the Left. Democrat DeFazio, without apology or excuse, condemns Obama's economic team on the most liberal national news station. Further he insists TARP money go to small business and infrastructure - not Wall Street. Something that should have happened 11 months ago. DeFazio is speaking to the "New Deal" and "Jacksonian/Clinton" Democrats that many assumed were the core of the Democratic party until 2008 - before Soros and the Whole Foods/Cocktail Party/Frank Rich/Daily Kos Left conned their way into the nomination.

As I've said before the party in danger of splintering in the short term is the Democratic - not the GOP. The GOP has shown that it can and will build winning coalitions based on economic conservatism. As opposition, the Pelosi/Reid/Summers/Obama party cannot survive if unemployment stays high. The natural constituency for this wing of the party - the "creative class" - is about 20% of voters. Obama is an aberration. Without the agony of Bush, massive media backing, and funding from various elites, Obama's 2008 campaign would have more closely resembled Howard Dean's in 2004. Alleged economic liberalism and creative class smugness equals rump party status as soon as the fog clears. (Obama is not a liberal, he's a Chicago/Tammany Hall style politician) The Jacksonian Democrats -won by Hillary Clinton in the 2008 primaries- voted for Obama in the General. They will move to the GOP, as they did in the 80s, if the Democratic Party does not represent their interests. Currently, it does not.

DeFazio's repudiation of Obama's economic policy is a turning point and good news for PUMAs. Obama's honeymoon has been over for the GOP since February, for Independents since the summer - now it is over for populist wing of his own party. Thank God.

DeFazio signals that there will be opposition to Obama from the genuine, populist Left. Here's to hoping it takes root.

Morning thought in which I use: Hufpo/Geffen/Olbermann/Whole Foods pot heads

I interrupt this sabbath for a morning thought prompted by a comment on the last thread.

Obama has already sold us out to Big Drug companies. Is the public option about to be flushed? Looks like it. Gotta ask, how is this guy better than Hillary again?

The Hufpo/Geffen/Olbermann/Whole Foods pot heads went rabid last year on the Clintons like the far right did in the 90s. And for what? This half baked narcissist who is in bed with gay bashers, Goldman Sachs, and Big Pharma. Good call, Liberals!

Clinton's Third Term - Part 2

A few times in the past 4 months I've stated that the Obama Pods would be the first thrown under the bus by the Dear Leader.

So far. So good.

Hillary will be Secretary of State. This has the Obamamedia and the Obamablog kidz cringing.
Screw 'em. Their hatred for the Clintons knows no bounds and has no rational underpinning anyway. The deluded have to wake up about Obama eventually. It may as well be now. Obama is reconstructing the Clinton White House - with some Bushies in tow for good measure.

See the incoming CIA chief:
If Brennan emerges as the pick,...will have to oppose him strenuously in the nomination process. We will, in fact, have to go to war with Obama before he even takes office.And if Obama doubts our seriousness, I have three words for him. Yes we can.

That is a quote from the nation's preeminent hypocrite and barebacker in waiting: Andrew Sullivan. They may have to "go to war" - My God, the inflated self importance still astounds. When the Clinton announcement is formalized by Obama everyone should grab a tarp. Micheal Moore may well explode, raining lard and invective far and wide.

Brennan is a Bushie at heart. A Clinton at State and a Bushie at the C.I.A...

ha.
ha.
ha.

Obama is setting himself up an administration of D.C. insiders. This should surprise no one. The fact that there is much gnashing of teeth in Podville is testimony to the level of delusion and self importance still rampant with Kos and rest of the "Yes We Can" twits.

So far we have Clinton at State, Brennen at the C.I.A., Richardson at Commerce, Daschle at H.U.D., and Rahm the Impaler as White House gatekeeper. Except Brennen - all are Bill Clinton bred insiders. (Brennen is a Cheney/Bush "apologist" according to Sullivan.) Conservative anti-choice Republican Chuck Hagel will show up somewhere on Obama's roster soon. And Lieberman got the thumbs up from Obama - and therefore the Senate Democratic Caucus - so he can stay. Cue Kos teeth gnashing.

We told the kos kidz Obama was not who he seemed. Maybe Howard Dean will launch an insurgent presidential campaign from the Left in 2012 to give those idiots something to do.

The Whole Foods liberals are being left at the alter - and I am glad to be a witness.

Some Bill S. tonight from Much Ado About Nothing. No connection to the post - I just love this scene because it is all about love.
