Did anyone listen to Thom Hartmann today?

He had some interesting ideas on how Obama may be playing the political side of the tax cuts (and us)for his possible future benefit. He said that it may be possible that Obama and his team are trying to make him look like the "reasonable" politician in D.C. The righties already look nuts and if Obama chastises the left for our own craziness, then the main stream people in the country (who are tired of the fighting in D.C.) may see Obama as the logical and rational one who is caught between the two sides and who is just trying to get things done for them.

Also Thom was saying that if you look at many novels/stories/cartoons, there is a hero and a villian but that the hero can only be as good as the villian is evil. He theorized that if Obama can get the repubs to be thought of as the "evil" (if they aren't already), then he can be the "good". If they are really evil, it only looks better for him when he does fight for the American people.

Anyway, it caught my attention and I thought that he might be onto something.

I'll ask the mods to close this.

...but i am still pissed at obama

then i listened to Senator Sanders conference call "town hall" meeting tonight....I love that guy and he is UPSET

although I had to get off too early. That man is amazing.

So that's what the "Hope and Change" are all about!

Thom's inclination to give Obama the benefit of the doubt is quite apparent in that second paragraph.

But to be fair, Thom's not on board with Obama. Aside from that brief lapse, he hasn't been too helpful to Obama's cause of late.

as I tend to look at things too emotionally and then when I hear a more political almost clinical view of something it gives me pause. Thom may be unhappy with Obama but he is an extremely insightful and intelligent person.

Bar none.
