Holly Molly... Obama is sounding like FDR more and more

[nadinbrzezinski]

this will be good, the dog whistles are pretty loud...

[fascisthunter]

1. we need a FDR

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. I know that... even said two years ago that this would happen

yesterday he strongly hinted WPA

This morning Biden hinted the FDR housing program, modernized of course

And now he is using the language of FDR

Who should break the news to Rush? FDR is alive and OUT of life support

[fascisthunter]

6. Nad... you know Limpball and His Listeners' Heads Explode...

when they talk about FDR.

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Yep, I wonder if I should send him this

I remember when you said that FDR's policies lived on, but you were doing something about it

Hey Rush... they are out of intensive care now... how bout that?

Too cruel?

[fascisthunter]

10. never too cruel... also mention Costa Rica

[Selatius]

22. Limbaugh is just the modern day equivalent of FDR's demagogue critic Father Coughlin.

Coughlin played the same role Limbaugh plays today, except the enemy to Coughlin then was Jews and communists.

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. And he was regional, not national

[Selatius]

28. He had national impact. In his day, he had upward of a third of America listening to his show. nt

[codjh9]

14. Yeah, we're suddenly very much in an FDR time/moment.

[Lasher]

2. This yellow dog can hear just fine.

The more we've gotten away from the New Deal the more we've gotten a shitty deal.

[tuckessee]

4. Will there be a Smedley Butler to protect his back?

I doubt it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. I hope, and I also know history does not fully repeat itself

100%

The coup was in 2000

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. ah there is the UNION whistle... we will see unions

strong unions

[Selatius]

20. Congress better pass the Employee Free-Choice Act and send it to Obama.

If Congress doesn't, I'm gonna be pissed.

[nadinbrzezinski]

27. Congress will, but we need to remind them

and it will NOT be this congress anyway.

There is so much that needs to be done...

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. Progressive taxation....

I hate to do this translating but hey needed

[Sydnie]

11. He is smoking right now!!!

His speech is on MSNBC live and damn, is he GOOD!

[John Q. Citizen]

12. Healthcare "a right." He's got that right.

[burythehatchet]

13. I am so feelin it!

[Kitty Herder]

15. We're all counting on him to be our new FDR.

And I think he knows that. Or at least he's beginning to figure it out. I think it's hard for any politician to get past the demonization of the New Deal that has become the norm in Washington since the Reagan Revolution.

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. Yeah he figured this out

and is starting to come on front trying to lead ....

GOOD for him

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Ah a nod to the WPA today as well

as well as other programs of the age

[Virginia Dare]

19. It really sounds like he's talking about a New Deal doesn't it?

wow, I'm just really feeling the hope right now.

[nadinbrzezinski]

24. He is, I wonder ....

and I hope it works that way

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. The end of a lobby driven agenda... when else in US history did we see that

Hoover comes to mind

And he wants to reregulate this place

And now he is talking of costs... and sacrifice... bout DAMN TIME

[DevonRex]

21. You're quite right. He's hitting all the dog whistles, both last night

and today. I'm feeling pretty good right about now.

[Lorien]

25. I think you mean "Holy Moly"

not to be picky, but Holly Molly sounds like Holly Hobbie's sister. ;-)

[nadinbrzezinski]

26. no prob... I was just seating here going check, check, check, check
