I don't of any reason to ever think he was anti-capitalist. Perhaps I missed something.<br /><br />He's been disappointing almost from day 1. I don't know what the dopey Demos are thinking, but the ones I'm aware are damned let down.<br /><br />Humboldt sinse must be purdy durned arcane. I only get 2 hits in all of Googledom, and they're not helpful.<br /><br />Cheers!<br />JzBJazzbumpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337490817307473659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290163255778893789.post-27021755832246543402010-02-12T19:16:04.515-05:002010-02-12T19:16:04.515-05:00ObamaCo possesses great marketing skills.

As soon as he had it in the bag (and HRC gave up), he ...moved slightly right. Picks Biden. Then HRC, and the econo. team with G-sachs, Larry Summers etc. Then he starts into his churchly talk, invites fundamentalists to in-aug. ball, so forth. Keeps BushCo DoD budget. OK, he's probably doing better than BushCo, has greater intelligence, and is a better speaker, but a centrist for the most part.<br /><br />However Obama hangs with celebrities, invites rock and hiphop stars to the white house, so most Dupe-o-crats still think he's the best thing since Humboldt sinse, regardless of his centrist, pro-corporate policies.

I was in the anybody-but-Hillary camp, for a couple of reasons: I think she's a megalomaniac and could easily go fascist; and I'm highly suspicious of dynasties. IMHO, she should not have been permitted to run, irrespective of qualifications. Alas, we don't have any laws like that.<br /><br />Barry Hoover was never higher than 5th choice for me. I expected him to be a Bill Clinton type pro-business centrist conservative. You know, only a little to the right of Eisenhower. Even given my modest expectations, I am deeply disappointed - by the horribly misguided economic right-wingery, and the seamless continuation of Bushian militarism.<br /><br />Conservatives who voted for Obama - I'm thinking of the Chris Buckley, Andrew Bacevich, Colin Powell crowd - did so because they knew that the Cheney administration was Bat-shit crazy, and McShame (a totally unprincipled son of a bitch) would have been more of the same, or worse. The topper, I'm convinced, was selecting SP as VP. She is vacuous, simple, ignorant, lazy and not terribly bright. My very first blog post was an <a href="http://jazzbumpa.tumblr.com/post/52352180/a-political-rant" rel="nofollow">anti-Sara rant.</a><br /><br />WASF<br />JzBJazzbumpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337490817307473659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290163255778893789.post-78060753319301499302010-02-10T14:15:02.889-05:002010-02-10T14:15:02.889-05:00Even some Hillary supporters said much the same du...Even some Hillary supporters said much the same during the campaigns, did they not, jzb. Let's not forget that BHO started quoting Reagan, praising "entrepreneurship," and shaking hands with religious fundamentalists. That doesn't mean Hillary (or McCaint/Sarah Klondike)-was that better--she was probably slightly more hawkish, tho' given BHO's DoD budget, that even debatable--but economically speaking, HRC's closer to New Deal demo. tradition, I contend. Many GOPers voted BHO, probably because of his pro-capitalist and religious views: and with G-sachs running the show, they were sort of correct. That said, he has raised corporate taxes slightly, and done a few good things, so Pres. Obama's an improvement on BushCo--but HRC would have been ...mo' bettah.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567400697675996283noreply@blogger.com
