Rightward Tilt Leaves Obama With Party Rift

The New York Times ^ | July 30, 2011 | JACKIE CALMES

Obama hasn't actually 'moved' anywhere. The fact that he says whatever he thinks is convenient to any given audience isn't a sign he's moving at all, except from podium to podium.

The man doesn't have a plan. He doesn't have the deal-making skills a negotiator or veteran politician would have. His vision is a half eaten plate of warmed over Marxist theory, social justice yearnings, and anti-colonial guilt, smothered in the gravy of narcissistic self-adoration.

So, for the New York Times to think they can detect some kind of drift is absurd. This is no more than watching him push the fork around the plate, and wait for Mom to pour more gravy on it.

Where’s Al Sharpton? He always needs more walking around money and manages to profit handsomely whenever he runs, then has a convenient fire at his campaign HQ just before the FEC audits him.

[RC2]

Yep....Democrats need to decide whether they want to go with a looser, which I believe they’ve got now, or look for someone they feel can win the election. I think Obama is finished and the country is finally figuring that out. He, along with his people, are going to be stopped from ruining this country.

That has some progressive members of Congress and liberal groups arguing that by not fighting for more stimulus spending, Mr. Obama could be left with an economy still producing so few jobs by Election Day that his re-election could be threatened.

After trillions of dollars Obama has realized that the government can only create government jobs, only the private sector can create real jobs.

[Cheerio]

Am I the only guy who can predict the end of this? Deal will crash and burn and Obama will go on National TV and blame the Republican “Far Right” for the “calamity”. This is sooooo predictable.

The other scenario is that the GOP caves on something and Obozo is the nation's sole SAVIOR - we will see TV and print pictures again with a halo around his head - headlines blaring "Pharaoh Obama saves the Nation from the evils of the Tea Party."

Tea Party must be rounded up and imprisoned, will be run in the NYSlimes headlinesm quoting Crappy Nappy.

And that's what they're calling him over at DU..."Capitulator-in-Chief" LOL.

You don't suppose he is changing partys do you? /s

[FlingWingFlyer]

Which “rightward tilt” is that? He’s talking about trampling the Fourteenth Amendment right now. I wouldn’t call that a “rightward tilt”.

[sheana]

Just came back from DU (yes I showered afterward) and they all swear he has turned conservative and they will never vote for him again. lol
Even if they do vote for him they won’t work for his reelection.
Obama threw them under the bus.
fricken hilarious

[Rodm]

rightward tilt is only viewable by Stalinist

[Terry Mross]

Go back! It’s a trick!

They WANT people to think he’s tilted to the right.

[Terry Mross]

Maybe they’re comparing him to Bush.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Hussein is NOT tilting to the right. What a pile of dog dung.

[GeronL]

“rightward tilt”?? You mean like FDR and Stalin?

What drugs is the NY Times on?

[YHAOS]

"And that's what they're calling him over at DU..."Capitulator-in-Chief" LOL. "

What the DU Dummies and the other deficit spending addicts don't understand is that Buraq 0bama is doing what he thinks he has to do to get them their next public money spending fix before they start climbing the walls from withdrawal.

The only idiots who think Obama has been going rightward are outright commies who think Stalin and Mao were of a capitalist pigs.

Of corse they do. They have been trying to play this game for a while now. I really don’t think too many people buy it though.
