eskyesq commented on the blog post White House Wants Everyone to Know Obama Supports Cutting Social Security Benefits
This guy has telegraphed his position on social security, medicare, medicaid since before his first campaign. Unfortunately his gaga acolytes wouldn’t hear it. He is and always has been a big money tool. He has no compunctions about lying to the base (American majority) to get elected but he reverts to his fixed position when elected. His unwillingness to listen to Krugman, Stiglitz, et al and his continued appointment of big money hacks to crucial positions is only a symptom. They are him.

eskyesq commented on the blog post Poll: Americans Overwhelmingly Oppose Raising the Medicare Retirement Age
Isn’t it clear by now that Obama actually agrees with the corporate elite and their tools no matter what. He was singing the “entitlement reform” tune back during the ’08 campaign. He consults and respects the likes of Brooks, Friedman, Geithner, and the other authors of our economic disaster. He disingenuously runs on a progressive agenda then governs from the right. It would be an insult to Rockefeller to call him a Rockefeller Republican. If he were white he would be a Roman Hruska Republican and embraced as one of them. Even when he chants for social reform he seems to be holding back. Don’t be surprised by his “grand” bargaining. He listens to no one and has no loyalty to his “base”. Look for him on the lecture circuit after his term.

All you need know is the people Obama has surrounded himself with from the get go…wall street tools, cold warriors, privacy invaders, rendition expeditors, political hacks, amoral corporatists. He is just a more reticent front for the same anti-American elite.

The cure involves civil notices of claim and lawsuits against the City for intentional tort in knowingly exposing people to dangerous health conditions. People are entitled to express their constitutional right to free speech. If the mayor doesn’t get it the courts should.

Only if you are too young to remember Nixon the author and founder of today’s wingnuts.

A shout out to Bluegal and Driftglass who skewer Brooks on a weekly basis on their blog TheProfessionalLeft. A great hour of listening.

Brooks is a paid embarrassment. A conscious know-nothing. He is the smile button on top of te right wing horror. A benign liar and highly paid tool of the robber barons. But that’s what the Times has given us since it turned the hack Nixon flack Safire into a “respected pundit”. Why be surprised?

eskyesq commented on the blog post A Pathetic Moment for Obama to Show Executive Restraint
He never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity. He has a tin ear for the right thing to do. He does it only if he thinks it’s politically advantageous. If it were 1863 he’d balk at the Emancipation Proclamation. After all that would alienate the South. What a tool.

eskyesq commented on the blog post Steny Hoyer’s Push to Ruin Everything
Hoyer has always been a transparent tool. His patroness nancy pelosi made him her whip. He is a sleezebag with no real interest in reform. (As is pelosi, and Obama). With his typical tin ear for what is right Obama will follow his masters down the usual road of defending himself against the discredited and increasingly ineffectual right wing. Why be surprised?

Where did you get this forecast? Its demonstrably wrong and has nothing to do with today’s financial situation. Just fact check this crap. Really. Just do it.

eskyesq commented on the diary post Santorum’s Anti-Family Stance on Social Security by Daniel Marans.
The Brooks piece, like all is mendacious articles, is just another attempt to put a smiley benign face on the horror that is the Republican Party and its right wing agenda. He is part of the New York Times op ed parade of rightist frauds littering their pages since Safire. Those fit to print include [...]

Obamanever stops proving he is a tool of corporate interests and an enemy of the constitution. He lacks core principles and has no plan other than re-election. He has nailed the coffin shut on our form of government and couldn’t care less.

eskyesq commented on the blog post Pelosi Signals Her Willingness to Cut Medicare and Social Security Benefits
You are right. Pelosi exposed herself from the get go when she stated she wqouldn’t go after the Bushies as did Nobama. The deal was struck long before Obama got the nomination. She is an old clothes horse who picks her fights. We are “governed” by corporate hacks like Obama and company. They all feed at the same trough. The public game is a charade. Any way you look at it we lose. That’s the way its set up. They fear the OCWs because they’re out of the loop. No one knows how to react. Don’t worry. They’re looking for a chink and they’ll find one. The rewards are too great to allow the rabble to fuck with them.

eskyesq commented on the blog post Yes, The White House Wants a Foreclosure Fraud Whitewash. They’re Not Going to Get It.
My problem is how many more presidential votes do I have. I have been voting since 1968. When will it get better. Suffered thru that destructive moron Reagan, the idiot’s Jesus, Carter,(A Jesus freak), Clinton (An amoral defective corporate tool, W. (A learning disabled dry drunk sociopath) and now Nobama (A soulless lying sack). What next? Caligula the Plumber? Our system is dead broke and ther’s nothing coming to cure it. What else is there?

The reason is, he’s better than the rest. He’s terrible and phoney and disingenous and a tool. He’d be a Republican if he thought of it earlier.
But he’s the only choice we have. Tbhat’d his campaign slogan. That’s it. We have no choice. We have a Republican electorate that thoughtfully considers Cain, Perry, Bachmann, ad nauseum plus the vomitatious Gingrich the thing that won’t die. So cast your vote. Any way you look at it you lose. -

Don’t forget Johnson who gave us Voting Rights Act, Medicare and Medicaid.
In his dirty underhanded way he would have shoved jobs and universal health care up the right wing ass. -

No whitewash for nobama and company. The banks and ad hoc lenders and servicers need to face criminal fraud and wire fraud and mail fraud charges. They need to look prison in the eye. Homeowners deserve relief and revenge. No more Obama refusals to prosecute Bush torture policy just ratifies it and extends it. No more nobama sayimg crimes are simply immoral not illegal. No more selling out to big pharm, big banks, big insurance. NO MORE NOBAMA BULLSHIT. Jail the scum who look at tghe fruit of their crimes and say “get a job”. Enough!!!!!
