Re: Know Your Enemies (4.00 / 4)
Reich drives me crazy. Of course he makes excellent points about jobs and the economy, but like Krugman he knows little or nothing about political maneuvering, and they both demonstrate it each time they write a column. This war has become far more about politics--since the Repugs have the ability and organizational clout to thwart every rational economic step that could be made, they have to be soundly defeated at the ballot box (enough to overcome the Diebold problem). I think Obama has been well aware of this ever since the lead-up to HCR, when we had ample evidence that idiocy, with a complicit media and Koc, Inc., was afoot
Have to concur, finally re. this take on Reich's pol-naivete, as well as Krugman's similar blind spots re the Whole enchilada.
But in Not having such blind-spots (One Hopes), Obama just may have some Aces to play. Agree with 4.00 / 4 on that sentiment.
Diss the Disgusting Destroyers of decent dialogue, as we alliteration addicts admirably affirm.
