President Barack Obama has AGAIN flip-flopped on the role of groups like MoveOn, once more saying he DOESN’T want them pressuring him and Congressional Dems from the left.
Early in his administration, speaking generically, he said he wanted pressure from the left. Then, he repeated it about national healthcare. Then, when folks like MoveOn got serious, he said “hold on.”
After that, he changed back to a “big tent” stance. Now, he says, “hold on” again.
What do you expect from a president who opted out of public campaign financing?
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
