"Mr. Obama has developed a cozy relationship with Wall Street. He talks like a class-warfare populist, but he governs like a liberal corporatist."
is supposed to be reconcilable with
"Like LBJ, he presided over socialism at home and nation-building abroad" ?
I don't get it.
The only thing he gets right is that Obama has alienated a large section of the left. The rest is mostly the standard diatribe from the right, with a bit of delusion mixed in (comparing FDR and Mussolini? LOL). Then there's this masturbatory passage :
Quote:
This is why the left should challenge Mr. Obama. A humiliating Democratic defeat in 2012 would discredit the entire liberal project. It would be a repeat of the Carter years. The malaise of the Carter administration stained liberalism for a generation. The same will happen with Mr. Obama: The liberal brand will become synonymous with economic sclerosis, political incompetence and decline abroad. It will set the stage for an era of Republican dominance.
This is the kind of stuff that makes even angry leftists sigh and vote for the milquetoast Democratic candidate.
By the way, why did you make the title "Memo From The Left" when this is just a Right-winger performing a ventriloquist act? God forbid you have to actually contend with a leftist critique of Obama.

You're talking about Obama, OP is talking about "Comrade Barrack Houssain bin O'bummer", whoever that is. Apples and oranges.
Doesn't matter, the memo is not from them. How hard is that to understand. That's the difference from the left and right, the left doesn't defend stupid comments.
In the sheltered and insulated from reality world of liberal democrats, where they constantly preach to the choir, delusions of a red-capped hero are the only things you have to cling to.
There is an elephant outside your door.
It is time for you to pay your fair share instead of biting the hand that feeds you.
