Big Ideas, White House Style

Or, a Primer in How to Lose an Election.  As Atrios says, we're doomed.  From the New York Times:

"Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, David Plouffe, and his chief of staff, William M. Daley, want him to maintain a pragmatic strategy of appealing to independent voters by advocating ideas that can pass Congress, even if they may not have much economic impact...

But others, including Gene Sperling, Mr. Obama’s chief economic adviser, say public anger over the debt ceiling debate has weakened Republicans and created an opening for bigger ideas like tax incentives for businesses that hire more workers..."

God in heaven above, when did Barack Obama allow the country to degenerate to the point where cutting taxes on corporations has become a Democratic "big idea?"  What's next, banning abortion and putting gay people in prison?  Doing away with Social Security?  What the hell is the matter with this man, and what is it going to cost us to go along with the endless sellout that is the Obama presidency?
