But democrats have to be as critical of Obama as they were of Bush. Democrats are no better at complete control of government than republicans were .. giving logic to McCain as president with a democratic congress.
But now that Obama has full control of government democrats become their own worst enemy.
Silence is failure .. and surrender.
If we start from here .. America is a plutocracy .. the picture of what is destroying us becomes clear.
In total agreement. We, as Democrats, must be the first with intelligent criticism of Obama's policies. And we must communicate that criticism, not only in places such as this board, but to our elected representatives. Failure to do this can lead to a failure of the incoming administration equal to that of the outgoing.
Recognition of the Oligarchy that America has become is one of the first things neccessary to correcting this situation. Obama was 100% correct when he said the money should be spread arround. Historically, every time we reach a point where we are today, with the gap between those that do the work that keeps the nation going, and those that recieve income from that work, wider than it has ever been, we have a major depression. Consumers cannot consume what they produce, if the major portion of the profit of their prodution is siphoned off by the already wealthy. And that is where we are today.
