Former aide urges Obama to regain ‘political narrative’
The Financial Times ^

Posted on 02/15/2010 10:31:16 AM PST by quesney

John Podesta, president of the Center for American Progress, an unfluential liberal think tank, and former chief of staff to Bill Clinton talks to Edward Luce, Washington bureau chief.

He discusses his views on "the mess" in which the Obama administration finds itself.

Maybe Mr. Podesta thinks the U.S. political system sucks because we are not learning how to say “Heil Obama!”.

IMHO

“Pointing to a strategy of obstructionism by Republican lawmakers, he said: “I think the president is trying to re-engage with Republicans, but, quite frankly, he’s not dealing with the party of [Abraham] Lincoln. He’s dealing with the party of [Sarah] Palin.”

“He’s dealing with the party of [Sarah] Palin.”
I kind of liked that part. :)

leadership is way above his pay grade

I can't think of anything that isn't over his pay grade. Yet, I hear his supporters saying Sarah Palin isn't qualified to be President. If that fool is qualified anyone is qualified!

Poor Podesta. He was sure Obama would usher in the Soros Era and plunge America into Marxist oblivion forever.

Sorry, John. Maybe next time.

The problem is The Zero doesn’t think they are fools. They are dyed-in-the-wool red-diaper-doper-baby socialist koolaide drinkers. They will not vary from their agenda come hell or high unemployment. People need to understand this. THEY are not going to change one iota of their agenda, they’ll press ahead with it, shove it down your throat and smile all the while doing it. Remember the Khmer Rouge........................

no surprises here...all liberal think-tanks are urging Barry to save himself by running hard to the ultra-fringe-hard-core left.

If Morons.Borg turns on Obama, it’s OVER for “THE ONE!”.

Impeachment keeps growing as a possibility next year.

It kills me when people constantly go on about "obstructionism" in Congress when the Dems have the largest majorities they've had since the 70's.

The fact that they can't get anything through now points the blame only to the Dems.
