What's Happened to Obama?

meme2, a third bonus part.



This ceiling negotiatio­n is a "can't lose" for republican­s. If they get the surrendere­r-in-chief to keep throwing New Deal and Great Society programs into the pyre, they will achieve what they were never able to do when they had control of Congress and White House. They will also get more tax cuts for corporatio­ns and wealthy in the purported deal. Again, something they had a hard time doing when they had Congress and White House.



All they have to do in exchange is agree to a debt ceiling boost. The excuse for accepting that is, "we need control of the Senate and White House!"



On the other hand, if they don't agree to allow the ceiling to be lifted, the economy will be crushed (see part2 for how that's still meeting their goals). They will blame it on Obama and Democrats for spending. repubs will claim that cutting spending is the only solution and they are best at it.



Now you and I know that claim's an absolute raft. However, the President deigns to be above disputes like this - even in election campaigns. And he will, as he's done during his entire term, not reply. And under Obama, the DNC will also take 'the high road.'



And once again, the oft repeated republican lies ("Kerry cowered instead of fighting in Vietnam") will become accepted fact.



It is how they win. And why this President is NOT up to the task at hand.
