In reply to the discussion: President Obama Laments Rush Limbaugh And Fox News’ Influence On Public Debate [View all]woo me with science
(32,139 posts)40. We can't seem to get a national discussion going about a REAL jobs program,
because we are too focused on implementing austerity, cutting Social Security, and pouring more money into the military in Mali.... but we can justify implementing Republican policies that are malignant to the very fabric of our country by claiming that they will save a few jobs...
Yeah, that's the same argument we're hearing now when people mention cuts to the military. Isn't it stunning that the only way corporate Democrats seem to be able to even conceive of saving jobs these days is by implementing the Republican agenda.

So true. President Obama marginalizes anyone who is farther left than he is.

Naming the "enemy" in the MSM is free advertising...might as well just send Rush and Fox a donation.
