Commentary By Ron Beasley
Dave Cohen has written a letter to Barack Obama. Go read the entire thing but here is a snip from the end.
If you're concerned with losing politically, don't worry about it. You've already lost, you've got nothing
to lose, you're already fucked! More than ever, Mr. President, it's
time to level with the American people. It's time to Go Big Or Go Home.
After all, you can't do any worse at this point.
I initially supported Hillary Clinton in the primaries because my gut told me that Obama was an empty suit. I should have listened to my gut - it was right. Obama inherited the greatest economic disaster since the great depression. What did he do? Dave explains:
Right from the start of your administration, you demonstrated that
you had no clue about the depth of the economic crisis facing America.
You did that by hiring the same clowns who fostered today's disaster in
the 1990s when they were working for Bill Clinton. These Friends of Bob
Rubin, people like Larry Summers, who is the unholy spawn of the Prince
of Darkness, were never going to admit that it was their policies�pushing financial deregulation and home ownership to enable the Wall Street takeover�that got us into today's mess.And then you rehired Ben Bernanke, who as far as I can see, or any
other observer who is not brain dead can see, has never been right about
anything. To this day, Ben will not admit that there was a Housing
Bubble! That should tell you something right there.
We needed an FDR and instead we got a cross between Bill Clinton and Herbert Hoover.
Dave doesn't go into the continued attempts at empire expansion but that's another failure and another reason that Obama will go down as one of the sorriest Presidents ever. But we should spread the blame - the Democratic lawmakers have been no better. The Democratic Party will see some big loses in 2010 and they will have no one to blame but themselves and here is an example.
