Romney differs with Scott Walker in the new direction for America: Fewer Jobs?
How does a businessman qualify for president? Truman - the failed Haberdasher? I remember watching Orson Welles' famous movie Warren G Harding.
Is it time to reconsider this modern myth? CEO Supermen who can bankrupt Our Nation from their smoky boardrooms? Why do they need an oval office when they can dismantle our economy from their headquarters in the Bahamas - safe from consequences, taxes, and the nosy sheriff?
On a similar note: Did Walker really triumph in Wisconsin?
Did Clinton prevail in his impeachment? His approval numbers certainly did well, but the debate had changed, reframed. Discussion suddenly centered on Oval office cigars and not the actual policies of the Union.
The real reason why Obama won't gloat about Wisconsin: he doesn't have to. A recall election is a Win-Win for Cheesehead Democrats and workers alike. Set aside the strong strands of organization that formed to combat the overturning of basic rights. No longer was anyone arguing whether Walker had made bad policy, destroying lives and livelihoods by disbanding the safety-net of collective bargaining that gave us Weekends, 40hr work weeks, and retirement. People were now speaking about whether that bad policy should cost him his job, halfway through his term! It's a big leap from wondering - Is it egregious? To - Does it threaten his office? The working poor base is activated and the bonds are strong like fresh cheese curds with November around the corner. That is victory.
Keep in mind, however, that we should be talking about bringing back the pensions that were gambled away and those new pensions that will ensure the success of our future nation.
It is time for Universal Single-Payer Healthcare that will provide the competition we need to avoid the bankrupting greed of the artificial costs of care.
Reign in the Casino College rates that come from unfunded schools, the crushing debt that suppresses a generation that would lead the world in innovation if it were ever exposed to the unlimited resources of a generous and prescient government.
Instead, we read about Whitewashed Klan highways in Georgia (perhaps 5 (e) and 15 (o) could stand for Equal and Opportunity?).
Does the future hold a Taliban Tollway, or al-Qaida Cloverleaf?
