The myth of "liberal Obama" at #Debtmageddon

For people who are still surprised at how much of the "safety net" President Obama is willing to negotiate away, let alone those in denial, here's a good column from pre-election day 2008.

Key takeaways?
1. Obama "auditioned" for the Democratic side of the D.C. Village back in 2003. And passed with flying colors, including from the business world.
2. The business community (Robert Rubin disciples rounded up by Vernon Jordan) felt Obama could be controlled, too.

Mimimalist stimulus? Not too big to scare off Wall Street? Check.
Catfood Commission? Check.
Current overcompromises? Check.
