Is there a difference between Arnold and BO? Both smoke, both love taxes, both love deficits, both believe you are too stupid to get health care for yourself--and both are rich enough that the death panels mean nothing to them or their families.
"Activists are not waiting for Obama to fight tax breaks for the wealthy, and are mounting an independent campaign to prevent their continuation. While the AFL-CIO and SEIU remain strong backers of the President, the labor movement is pressing House and Senate Democrats on this politically winning issue (AFL-CIO President Trumka has called continuing the tax cuts “absolutely insane.&rdquo
One now reads fewer and fewer defenses of Obama’s direction, with many commentators even questioning the President’s willingness to use power to achieve progressive change. With Obama shifting from leader to bystander, activists realize that it is up to them to reengage the base not only for 2012 – but for future action on progressive issues.
This is what California activists have realized for years under Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. His inability to influence progressives meant that activists could follow their agendas without subordinating them to politician allies – and groups like the California Federation of Teachers, California Nurses Association, California Teachers Association, and CALPIRG will come out of the Schwarzenegger years politically stronger than ever."
Neither have rational supporters to defend them.
Funny, Obama does not look like Danny DeVito--but he is Arnolds' twin.
