Writes Ezra Klein in the Washington Post. That this President " is a moderate in immoderate times".Not long ago the Washington Post ran a story {april 26,2011 } " President Obama,if you look closely at his positions is a moderate Republican of the early 1990's " writes Ramesh Ponnuru c/o Ezra Klein. This is what's called spin.Not just hyperbole,but bold and brash spin. That is what we were instructed to adopt during the height of Obama's presidential campaign.How truly moderate he is.Surely he's no Liberal. Totally failing to mention his actual voting record as a State Senator or current U.S. Senator. I mean where do these spinmeister git the balls to strut out this doggy poop crap.
So we're back to outright Lies about what kind of Pol this President is.That he's MODERATE. Like How.Moderate the way he tried ro force down the throats of ALL Americans his ObamaCare,his signature bill. Just recently his flipping off the Bishops { Obama made an agreement with them to not touch their Exemption } and ALL Religions the past couple week.MANDATING Not Moderating his Policy on contraceptives. His Mandating a TSA to grope ALL Aermcians at will who are boarding aircraft at our airports.That includes litle old ladies and even little boys with Polio crutches,barely able to walk.Not too doggone moderate a policy there ... Bubba. Or Moderately tossing aside the Recess Appt. rule to apply for whatever this Bubba thinks fits his agenda.No need to be in Recess.No need to me temporaty,make them permanent. How about a Budget being submitted by his Majority of Democrats in the Senate.No that would be considered too radical.Obama the Moderate will just let the Budget lapse further going on towards 1,020 days. I mean,how dopey do they Lamstream Spinmeisters { Ezra Klein} thing we are. I mean,wasn't this little babyface Klein the one who organized the now infamous JourNolist a Left-leaning group of likeminded Lamestream writers,reporters and wonks. Stated goal of the several hundred exclusive Lefties being " to ensure that folks feel safe giving off-the-cuff analysis and instant reaction." Because " candor is essential and can only be guaranteed by keeping these conversations private ." says the other Klein.Or Joe Klein of TIME.Of course in all good candor Ezra Klein jusitfied excluding conservative Republicans from participation as " not about fostering ideology but preventing a collapse into flame war.The emphasis is on empiricism,not ideology." Yeah ... nice try thar Bubba. Empiricism means of practical experience.Or Rationalism. To reason away for practical application. Like what Obama did on Friday.Trying to be practical in his adoption of a belligerent health care mandate. Or how to be practically silent during a news cycle because the toadies in Journolist need more time to spin the issue like who is that Van Jones guy. ? Why did he quit.? Or gee fellow Journolists maybe we's best keep it to ourselves why Obama's Chief-of-Staff { Richard Daly } just up and decided to leave the post full year ahead of his pledge. We found out this week is all.Thanks in No measure to any JourNoLisps. I wonder if dem guys have nice lisps like E.J. Dionne.
Obama is all over the map. He's not a conservative, liberal, moderate, republican, democrat, independent, statist, progressive, socialist, communist, or theocrat....yet, on any given day he's whatever suits the occasion. He's an 'empty suit'.
OK.If that's yer POV.That everything is just peachy creamy in the country since Obama took over.No Biggie.Nothing to sweat over. Fret about. Then explain the near gazillions of OP {thread starters} to the contrary stating the exact opposite. There IS something to WORRY about.That Obama IS the problem. Man ... I hope I dint burst yer bubble.
Maybe by "Moderate" Ezra means....The Biggest Leftist To Ever Stain the Whitehouse...... .....which Obama clearly is.
Which will not in any way change what babyface Ezra pleades. In fact,it's just a matter of time before the other Klein,Joe Klein of TIME runs an article explaining this very thing. How Moderate Obama is in immoderate times. First of all these are perilous times and all on account of one man ... Obama. And secondly Obama is about as Moderate as a Great White can be counted on to display nice table manners.
