Sources inside the White House say that the Boehner-Obama deal is “to the right” of the Gang of 6 deal.
You’ll have to explain to me how the President is in a position to lecture anyone on what “progressives” should care about.

Thanks for posting links to Cenk’s show. It is to bad he had to leave MSNBC. I can’t watch any of the shows on there, except Dylan. It’s funny I have been wondering if all the “liberal” radio personalities have just been sucking up to the democrats and Obama so they can get a spot on MSNBC.
I give Cenk’s a lot of credit for walking away. That can’t be easy to walk away from that much money.
Today, Bernie SAnders on Thom Hartmann said progressives should primary Obama and choose a candidate that will uphold Democratic principles. He declined to run himself.
Wait I am confused, I thought Obama shared my values and that it was just the Republicans that made him do these awful things. For years Bernie has been telling me Obama needs my support.
The Democrats had better come up with a primary challenger since Obama will lose in 2012 if he agrees to tamper with Medicare or Social Security.
Obama is definitely not getting my vote, if there is no 3rd party candidate running I will simply do a write in.
I’m thinking of writing in Rex my pet rabbit. I think he has a better understanding of economics and domestic issues than the President does.
One thing that bothers me, if Obama does lose, I don’t want to give the village idiots yet another opportunity to spin his loss as being due to him being too liberal! Which they will most certainly do no matter how ridiculous that sounds.
When I don’t vote for Obama, I’m sending a letter to him to tell him exactly why, I will also post it online, I hope everyone does the same.
I believe that Shep my 90 lb. Australian Shepherd understands the issues better than Rex. How about Rex for VP??? And the feral cat we feed can be Secretary of State/War/Defense whatever he wants … also smart and fast, too.
Rex is basically a vegetarian and you know how the powers to be sneer at them. Plus too easy to buy off with lettuce and carrots.
Otherwise, good idea. I am contacting all my Congresspeople and just promising to not only not VOTE for them, but go door to door with a flier that shows them and Obama and states .. destroying Social Security together. I am not kidding about that, either.
Obama should have just stood up for a clear debt ceiling hike. This sneaky back-door way of cutting benefits for Social Security .. etc. (want to bet the veteran’s programs wind up NOT affected???) is beyond crummy. If you want to fix our deficit so much, he should have just allowed those tax cuts to expire at the end of 2010. Plus a few base closings, a few less bombings …
Has anyone noticed we have a REAL WAR, a REAL FAILED STATE, huge REAL PROBLEMS AND THREATS right on our Southern border? What the >$EW#$#! are we doing bombing / slaughtering people in Somalia who have never threatened us with anything, wasting our money on more and more bases (we aren’t going to give up those in Iraq or Afghanistan, ever) …
Obama is a miserable excuse for a leader .. he is the Manchurian leader.
