He ain't triangulating, he's my post-partisan. That's Eugene Robinson innovative new MSM means of covering for Barack Obama. As Obama sprints toward the center and away from many of the positions that won him the nomination from the liberal Dem base, WaPo columnist Robinson has suggested that the nominee isn't engaging in the kind of cynical "triangulating" that made Bill Clinton famous. No, Obama's just being the real post-partisan he really was all along.
EUGENE ROBINSON: "My headline tonight is a question: is it post-partisanship, or plain old triangulation? I think everyone's instinct, when we heard Barack Obama talk about the faith-based programs yesterday and put it together with his view of the Second Amendment again and other recent statements, the instinct was to say he's triangulating, he is moving to the right for the general-election campaign, as candidates do. That's the way you get elected.
"I think there's another possibility. I think that what we're seeing is an expression of the Barack Obama of the beginning of the campaign who talked of post-partisanship, who talked about a political landscape in which Democrats didn't say well, we can't support any of those policies because Republicans support them, and we're Democrats, and people we like [don't?] support them, therefore we have to stay on our side of the fence and Republicans have to stay on their side of the fence. The Barack Obama who talks, and still talks, constantly about moving past the us vs. them politics of the 60s, getting over the Vietnam argument. And I wonder if the Barack Obama who talks about faith-based programs as important to the Obama White House, might not just be the real Barack Obama."

He ain’t triangulating, he’s my post-partisan ping to Today show list.
Yeah, and that’s not BS, it’s bovine excrement.
LLS
Post-partisan = Stalinist. Disagree with my PC philosophy, you die.
LOL, my thoughts after reading this BS, Stalin was also postpartison only after he got rid of Lenin and any other opposition!
What liberal voting record. If you don’t show up to vote most of the time, or even attend any of the committee meetings (and Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., the charismatic, messianic Magic Negro, has been notoriously LAX in attending to Senatorial duties), then how can you point to any “record”. The “record” is essentially either “present” or “zero”.
The emptiest suit in town. And the ultimate sock puppet.
Weasely Clark has more presence and real-life experience.
How was this fraud perpetrated upon the American public in the first pace. As always, follow the money. The Democrat party, the wholly-owned subisidary of the Soros International organization, one of the “malefactors of great wealth”, and a corporate entity that makes Enron look like a kid’s lemonade stand, has fallen victim to part of this scheme. Soros was a ringer, come in to wreak havoc on the monetary systems of several countries, and use his billions thus acquired to manipulate stock markets and trading agreements throughout the world. Soros is still under indictment in France (France!) for stock fraud. All these small “contributions” that come into the war chest of the Democrat party, are from credit card donations giving less than $200 each. A “loophole” in the McCain-Feingold campaign finance “reform” legislation permits these small contributions to be accepted without acknowledging who the source was. These transactions are routed through the accounts of people who probably had some of the cards from years back, but have not actively used them for some time now. The account is debited and payment made to the DNC, or the Obama campaign, then the account is immediately repaid from the funding from this Soros International, and nobody is the wiser. It is a neat little scheme, and repeated several thousands of times, millions, even (there are an AWFUL lot of unused and unwatched credit cards out there, you know), a truly stupendous amount of cash may be transferred by manipulating these accounts.
You were wondering where the money was coming from that was driving the speculation in the petroleum futures market? Like the Hunt brothers who tried to “corner” the silver market years back, the Soros organization and a consortium with several others, have “cornered” the petroleum futures, knowing full well that they stand to lose billions. But by the time that card is called in, they shall have successfully convinced the American public that the run-up was “caused” by the Bush Administration and the “evil” Congressional Republicans, and effectively voted in a veto-proof House and Senate, and put an ineffectual President into office.
And this, dear children, is how the Democrats “know” the oil futures market is being driven by “speculators”. And why, if the expected Democrat margins are realized in the House and Senate, the price of petroleum will fall sharply AFTER the November elections. Because the Democrat leadership KNOWS this is what is going on.
On the other hand, if Republicans somehow rally and regain either a sufficiently large minority, or a majority in both the House and Senate, the “corner” on the petroleum futures will continue, with the probability of $5 and $6 a gallon gasoline becoming a reality. Or at least until we can get some of the wells already in place uncapped and product flowing. And for that, Republicans need to take up the cry of “Drill here! Drill now! Pay less!”
Democrats are spreading the belief that both petroleum and coal “poison” our environment. Supposedly because the major product of their combustion is carbon dioxide, which they seem to think is a “pollutant”.
Know this and know it for a certainty: Carbon dioxide is plant food. Without it, plants wither and die. It is our OBLIGATION to increase carbon dioxide to the degree we are able, to aid our plant life on this planet to grow and extend to its maximum limit.
The guy talks a good game. He has the gift of gab. His record speaks for itself and we need to keep hammering home that the little he has done in his life has been liberal to the point that the label on his forehead reads socialist. If you want a socialist leader then BHO is your man (notice I did not say boy... that was deliberate... no thought of race in this until I got to that word and... decided that my criticism of his record would become tainted if I did... Brave New World.)
Why would anyone care what Eugene Robinson, a left wing liberal member of the Washington Post’s editorial board, has to say on MSNBC? He and that cable channel are so in the tank for Obama it’s laughable. Don’t waste your time.
geez can they BE any more sycophantic today????????????
AP has a so-called ‘report’ that Obama would be a preferred barbeque quest...
I like that. What a visual that calls up!
Grilled Obama, served in slices.
