The Obama Triangulation: The Right, the Left and Slick Willy


To paraphrase an old, old joke:



Patient: "Doctor, doctor - I fail when I do this!"

Doctor: "Then don't do that."



Triangulat­­ion was used by slick willy to achieve, ultimately­­, a myriad of conservati­­ve goals. NAFTA, repeal of Glass-Stea­­gle, etc. Advice in 2008 was to use it at your own risk. In 2010, clearly the correct advice is, "don't do that."



Maybe Obama should try shooting straight? Standing on principle, morals, common sense, and justice instead of playing manipulati­­ve public relations stunts??



I don't know.... maybe it might work? Anyone tried it lately?



I doubt we will see it in the next 2 years, though.
