[lbo-talk] More Slimy Obama Moves

[michael perelman]

Politico reports that the Obama folk blame the Greens for the failure of 
its energy bill because it was THEIR responsibility to lobby the 
Democrats.  So, here is the story:  misinformed Greens voted for Obama 
for change, but the change was that it was the responsibility of the 
Greens to create the change.

Of course, the White House needs a strong grassroots movement to fight 
powerful interests, but it also has the responsibility to lead that 
movement rather than make deals with those whom the grass roots people 
oppose.

Remember Obama bragging that he took on the left in his fight for health 
reform?  Anyone taking bets about Elizabeth Warren?
