    In reply to Obama Not Being Trotsky in Disguise: Good or Bad?
    The triumph of capitalism over democracy pretty much happened over the past 30 years, kicked off by Ronald Reagan and continued by every administration since. I wasn't naive enough to think that Obama could reverse the trend, which really hit full steam under GW Bush, but I didn't think he would embrace it so completely. But, hey, Paul Volcker, Larry Summers, Tim Geithner--these guys are all in on the scam.


    Would that Obama's agenda were liberal. It's not. It's corporatist. They've won, they own us, and we're all fucked.

    @Mediahohoho:


    But it's handy, naive and meaningless shorthand to call it "socialist," pretty much bandied about by people who don't have the first fucking clue what socialism is.

    @Helman: If you are implying he is a middle of the road kind of guy like Clinton, I think you are mistaken.


    I'm not rooting for his failure like some other conservatives as our country cannot afford for him to be wrong. But middle of the road? Please.

    I cannot believe I am saying this, but I yearn for the days when all we (ok, I) worried about is a big fat splooge on some Gap dress that belonged to an intern. Sigh.

    I think you have your stealth socialist. US now has significant ownership in banks, auto industry, insurance, etc.. Other than dropping the ball on gays in the military (which should totes be allowed, btw), what promised socialist scheme has Obama failed to do in his short time in office?

    @momof3wildkids: Well, we kinda took over the banks when Bush was president, but whatever. What I like about Obama is how he created the conditions that caused the banks and automakers to fail so that they would desperately need federal money. Ingenious!


    Or was that Bush? Whatever.

    I am just pointing out that this man has accomplished a fair bit of his very left leaning agenda in short order.


    Bush created this economic disaster on his own? He was a lousy President but he had a lot of help from Congress.

    So if you read the Washington Times, we've elected Marx but if you read the New York Times, we've elected Hayek. Glad we're all coming together in these post-partisan days.

    David Steele's editor should have gone the classy route like one of my former editors did. He axed me by email. And really being off the Orioles beat is a gift in sheep's clothing, silver lining? Oh, I'm having a bad dyslexic day today.
