DanR commented on the diary post Educating David Brooks on the Budget by Dean Baker.
True fact: David Brooks is actually a humanoid shell wrapped around a core of soft cheese.

DanR commented on the blog post Obama Administration Suddenly Decides “Time Is Right” for ENDA
Let’s all remember this the next time someone whines about progressive groups “attacking allies” (ie politicians with D after their names) because we should “all be on the same team”

one and a half cheers for the Democratic Party doing something politically smart.

DanR commented on the blog post The Eight Big Mistakes Democrats Made Regarding the Constitutionality of ObamaCare
Again, this (!) is Obama’s “signature achievement”
-
DanR commented on the blog post Reminder: No One Disputes the Legality of Single Payer
And yet the ACA is described as Obama’s signature achievement. And that may be true. Rather pathetic.

DanR commented on the blog post The Smearing of Trayvon Martin
A couple generations from now, American history students will look back at this time and shake their heads, mystified and ashamed that we all somehow put up with this kind of debased and grotesque public environment, let alone had major figures who made careers of open hate and bile. History books will leave the impression that there were hardly any decent Americans in the early 21st century.

You mean Etch-A-Sketch, not flip flop. Get with the times!

DanR commented on the blog post Individual Mandate Significantly Reduces Support for ACA
Also, access to health care is a human right, whereas access to a car is not.

Yep, just follow the money to find your answer with this one.

DanR commented on the blog post Administration Officials Announce Birth Control Access “Compromise” for Religious Institutions
No Obama cave would be complete without a rhetorical confirmation of right-wing views as icing on the cake:
“I saw that local churches did more good for a community than a government program ever could.”

DanR commented on the blog post The $2,000 Insult in the Foreclosure Fraud Settlement
At least CREDO calls it for what it is
Wall Street banks fraudulently and illegally foreclose on your house. You get $2,000. The bank gets let off the hook. We’d call that a bad deal.

DanR commented on the blog post The $2,000 Insult in the Foreclosure Fraud Settlement
Open lawlessness, unabashed attacks on the powerless… I feel like I live in the early 19th century.

DanR commented on the blog post Obama on Bank Prosecutions: They Did Nothing Illegal, Only Found Loopholes That We Worked to Close
The fact that Obama had to respond to a reporter’s question about Occupy Wall Street is a textbook definition of a successful protest action. Great news on that count.

DanR commented on the blog post Obama Deficit Plan Won’t Include Social Security Changes, Reports Say
It’s been clear for a while that Obama had no interest in helping Democrats who wanted to run using Kathy Hochul’s model because he’s pursuing his dream of “getting something big done.” He did it with his crappy health insurance bill in 2010 and he’ll send everyone to the slaughter in 2012. If the GOP takes the Senate in 2012, I hope they impeach him.

DanR commented on the blog post The OTHER Policy From the American Jobs Act
Obama has done so much damage to the Democratic party already, its probably better that he has little hope of reelection
-
DanR commented on the blog post Obama Jobs Address Also a Deficit Address
No kidding. He is genuinely paralyzed. And he’s crossing the rubicon into total failure as a President. He’s toast. He’s Hoover. A Romney nomination dooms him.
