I'm thinking that right about now, our Pres realizes what a garden path Rahm led him down

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

I am purely speculating, but I think the big push for "triangulation" "centrism" "bi-partisanship" came from Rahm who doesn't understand that it is NOT the Clinton era and we have a whole different setting going on now. He is not helping/guiding President Obama in "how it is done", but more "how it WAS done" which involves a lot of back door corporate dealmaking and concessions to a shrinking minority party that are frankly just not necessary today. Rahm tried to stuff all the "change" under the carpet and just do business as usual.


I do believe that because he is reaping a lot of well-earned outrage from his base (NOT the DLC and DINOS) that President Obama is most-likely reevaluating the way things have gone down so far and what kind of Presidency he is going to have - one that compromises to a virulent and ignorant minority, financed on by industry dollars, or one that truly attempts to serve the welfare of the citizenry. I would say that all the rubber is hitting the road RIGHT NOW.
