Neoliberal blech at TPM

Talking Points Memo proprietor touts this weak-tea defense of Obama against true liberals on his handling of Deepwater Horizon by Theda Skocpol. I write back:

Any non-Gang Green enviro group worth its salt 18 months ago was saying how bad, relatively, Kenny Boy Salazar was as Interior nominee.

The recent Rolling Stone article points out just how bad MMS continued to be under Salazar/Obama.

Greenwald had more. (In part because I and others told him to look at Salazar and more.)

And, don’t forget Obama’s hands deep in Exelon’s pockets; hence, all his nuke plant guarantees.

Finally, did Skocpol actually listen to Obama’s excuse of a speech, mixed of platitudes and the lack of tough specifics?

Or Robert Reich’s latest post (at TPM)?

Finally, her “do not support” leading to “rabid Right” comment is like the spouse of an alcoholic and “enabling.”

The only way Progressivism got on the plate of either major party a century ago was vigorous third-party movements in the late 19th century.
