Obama praises GOP as being the "party of ideas the past 10-15 years"

[Divine Discontent]

just watched the part of the interview AFTER what we see here (20 minutes into it, http://news.rgj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080115/VIDEO/80115026&oaso=news.rgj.com/breakingnews - he actually goes on to say ---

"fair to say the the republicans were the party of ideas the past 10-15 years", and they "challenged conventional wisdom", but they're now only talking in debates about "tax cuts". But let's back up - read those first two comments.


Very disheartening. The Democrats have fought for the rights of gays, women, workers, more so against the Iraq occupation, the environment - the GOP has fought to stop any advancements.


Yeah, Reagan put us on a fundamentally different path from Carter, Sen. Obama... totally different.

I'm sorry, I RARELY have put any comments on DU about candidates that I'm not backing, usually I'm cheerleading for Edwards - but watching this video, and seeing what he said right after it, and hearing something I consider just as bad or worse uttered by him really leaves me hoping for John to have a miracle happen in his favor.

Dude, Where's my party?
