1. "The dirty secret is actually that Obama is a moderate conservative"

Bingo! Thank you Bruce Bartlet.

[patrice]

2. Do you think we didn't know that? Rather condescending, don't you think?

wow.

Believe it or not, some of us actually are capable and have been paying attention ever since 2007-2008 and before that too, so we know exactly what Obama is. I and many others are quite capable of authentic identification of others, thank you for your elitist and presumptious "help".

[saras]

6. I don't know who your "we" includes, but it EXCLUDES most of DU

9. Bartlett is clearly a Purity Democrat

He doesn't understand the real world. Very unserious.

[Old Time Pagan]

25. "Purity Democrats"?

Would those be the Democrats that are so deluded that they still think their party should actually stand for something?

Just askin'

15. Down, boy.

What a nasty response to an innocuous comment quoting Bartlett. You sound very angry about something.

[FourScore]

20. Odd remark. Cali_Democrat is just quoting Bartlett.

Not sure why you are attacking him/her.

[Lorien]

8. Exactly. nt

22. Lets look back on his 2008 campaign when Obama talked about

Healthcare
Bush Tax Cuts
Workers rights
The New Deal type
TVA to put people to Work
Ending the Wars
And the list goes on
When we listened to all this BS during his campaign he sure as hell did not sound like or come across as a moderate conservative.
Now I voted for this guy and I voted for a left (if you need a description of) leaning centralist. And actually he was more to the left judging by his speech content.. Obama was anything but a moderate conservative..
So ..I voted for a Democrat but what we got was a moderate to conservative Republican..I will be damn if I vote for a Republican (Obama) in 2012..

3. That's what I just told a bunch of the Brownbackistanian Kochroaches. I shamed them, simply &

clearly.

Sat Nam!

4. Five and a half minutes of truth.

Thank you, Mr. Bartlett. I'm Facebooking this one. :)

[libodem]

5. Brace yourself

That was refreshing.

[Lorien]

7. I can't believe that I'm actually agreeing 100% with REAGAN'S policy advisor!

It just goes to so how far down the rabbit hole we've fallen when one of Ronny Ray-Gun's boys sounds like the moderate voice of reason in the media.

[pnorman]

10. Bush43 makes Reagan look positively GOOD!

Who'd have thunk it!

[bulloney]

14. Bartlett and before him, David Stockman. It really shows how far this country has shifted.

Reagan would be branded a flaming liberal today.

[Lorien]

18. And he was freaking SCARY in his time! nt

[pam4water]

11. Wow tweety making sense for a change!

[SharksBreath]

13. Matthews has been on a roll lately.

He's the only person I've seen on TV challenging the Republicans about the deficit.

Mainly that it's all Bush's debt.

12. you mean raising taxes is good for the economy

even in a recession? oooohhh. You know it's nice to be right but when historical facts back you up and your president doesn't...

[The Wizard]

16. According to Republican supply side dogma

cutting taxes raises revenue. In the real world that's called insanity. How much longer can we sustain when the insane are given equal footing with normal people?

[Lorien]

17. Kick. nt

[wxgeek7]

19. Watched it twice

This was so good, I had to watch it twice (especially the very last part) :)

[Veracious]

21. How'd That Feel "Tea LOL Party"

I'm sure some of them have run naked into the wilderness mad as hell! LOL

[Amonester]

26. Some, yes, but most of them R hiding in fear they won't get their

next SS check to pay their bills, and just agonize at the thought of being FORCED to go running naked in the wilderness mad as hell! (Screaming "ITSSOBAMASSFAULT!ITSSOBAMASSFAULT!ITSSOBAMASSFAULT!" into infinity!)

24. "If I were a liberal Democrat, I'd be pretty upset" (w/obama). The 400 richest pay 18%
