From the left and middle, and perhaps one blue dog.<BR/><BR/>I think Obama sees us being in grave danger, a danger so real that he feels we must hang together or be hung.<BR/><BR/>That is not being spoken, nor are the dynamics of bailouts ... and the republican congressmen are so soulless that they use his bipartisan efforts as an advantage to prey on the public distaste for the bailouts.<BR/><BR/>The Obama folks have not adjusted from campaign to governing yet. <BR/><BR/>The republicans will only deal when the kid gloves are taken off IMHO.Dreddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673418865926403671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039161489041752842.post-49610138134988113062009-02-03T21:06:00.000-06:002009-02-03T21:06:00.000-06:00Blacklisting Progressives: The Untold Story Beneat...<A HREF="http://www.openleft.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=11343" REL="nofollow">Blacklisting Progressives: The Untold Story Beneath the Daschle Headlines</A><BR/><BR/>by: David Sirota<BR/>Tue Feb 03, 2009 <BR/><BR/>{excerpt}<BR/><BR/>"And that's the big story here: Leo Hindery, one of the few business leaders to use his wealth to challenge deregulation, corporate trade deals and anti-worker policies was blacklisted by the Obama administration well before the Daschle flap ever happened - and he was blacklisted because he dared to clash with the same Wall Street Democrats whose corporate-backed policies destroyed the economy."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039161489041752842.post-55855660166304235982009-02-03T21:01:00.000-06:002009-02-03T21:01:00.000-06:00My problem isn't with Obama selecting some Republi...My problem isn't with Obama selecting some Republicans. If a person is honest, then fine, bring him or her aboard.<BR/><BR/>My problem is with the lack of true lefties being added on. I like Bernie Saunders, Robert Reich, etc..
