Obama's base officially left him today. It is over. I doubt very seriously if he will get the democratic nomination.
I consider myself to be part of his "base" and I'm very happy with the compromise. In my opinion, stomping off like a child just because you don't get everything you want is immature and unproductive.
By next month, I'm betting that this little tantrum being thrown by some Democrats will be all but forgotten.
Either he has no backbone or he has been on the take from big banks from the very beginning. He has the control of congress the polls all show that the majority of americans were against tax cuts for the rich and he refuses to stand up to Republicans. He then alienates his base by sarcasm.
Enough is enough.
This does of course not mean that I am capitulating to the Republicans only that someone else needs to carry the standard.
Actually, it's tax cuts for everyone who pays taxes, not just "the rich." And that's the way it should be. No reason to punish success.
No, Obama was willing to extend the tax cuts for everyone but the upper 2% (millionaires and billionaires) but that wasn't good enough for the Republicans. After all, they must take care of their base. The disagreement ensued, and Obama, like the coward he is proving himself to be, capitulated with nary a whimper in protest.
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not going to forget this.Capitulation has become part of a pattern from our coward in chief.. I'm sure this won't be the last time Obama gives in as soon as a Republican raises his voice..
1) he just showed them his birth certificate one more time
2) he changed his middle name to Herbert
3) he invaded Iran
