Nov. 2: The Death Knell of Corporate Liberalism
By Matthew Rothschild
Editor of The Progressive
November 3, 2010

I’m tired of the Democratic Party’s excuses, and Barack Obama’s apologists.

Obama didn’t help himself by trying to placate the Republicans and by muddling his messaging.

He didn’t help himself by lowballing the stimulus and by rejecting a moratorium on foreclosures.

He didn’t help himself by playing a Washington insider game, by trying to buy off a couple of Republicans in Congress and by playing footsie with huge industries, like the banks and the pharmaceutical companies.

Obama was given a mandate for change, and he squandered it.

He never mobilized the base to take on the vested interests.
