Fire Robert Gibbs...Or At Least Make Him Apologize to Howard Dean

"Is this the beginning of Obama's version of Clinton-era triangulation?"



I think it's safe to say that the triangulation "officially" began the moment he brought in rahm and the rest of the clintonista crew to run the ship.



Obama is clearly very comfortable using his bully pulpit to call out Democrats. He has also hit the Repugs, to be sure. But he heaps adulation on the "moderates." I can see that he absolutely wants control of K street and keep the money flowing from lobbyists. I can only conclude that he's going to continue the divide and conquer strategy employed by clintonistas and their offspring (DLC) to help kick incumbent, progressive Dems out of Congress and promote players (even if it means losing to repugs).



Problem with the strategy is that the corporate powers were happy to help the economy under clinton by splattering venture capital money around and boosting employment. Unless they do the same thing for Obama (which they haven't done yet), he will be a one-term president.



The other thing that is different today than 1993 is the amount of information flow that we have now. All these coincidences like a secret pharma deal are adding up to "evidence" now and blinders are coming off many of the unwashed. Few of Bubba's deals leaked.
