somethingblue commented on the blog post Obama Campaign Proud of Bashing Teachers’ Unions
It’s not just Obama. Have we seen any prominent Dem push back against criticism of teachers the way Cory Booker pushed back at criticism of Bain Capital?

somethingblue commented on the diary post Powell is endorsing Obama. Obama should be ashamed but he isn’t. by Bill Perdue.
Could you provide some evidence for your assertion that Powell “is once again endorsing Obama”? He was interviewed on the Today show on Tuesday and stated that he wasn’t endorsing anybody at this point.

somethingblue commented on the blog post Mixed News for Democrats in the Senate Races
It is possible that control of the Senate will come down to just one or two seats.
So will Republicans control the Senate 51-49 or 49-51? Oh the suspense.

Sen. Mark Lee (R-Utah) has now felt the sting of short sales.
Mike, not Mark.

somethingblue commented on the blog post A Pro-Austerity Chart, and Why the President Is Touting It
if you’re looking for a partial reason why our recovery hasn’t been faster, that may be one of the answers, that the President is pursuing the preferred policy path of his conservative critics.
All of whom will be voting for him in November, I’m sure.

somethingblue commented on the blog post The Pete Peterson Fiscal Summit and What It Says About Democrats
let’s marvel for a second at just how much influence Peterson has, that he can get pretty much everyone in Washington to kiss the hem of his garment.
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

somethingblue commented on the blog post Why You Don’t Negotiate for Hostages
Yup. We heard endless nattering from the Veal Pen about FDR’s apocryphal “make me do it.” And indeed, that’s the game Obama is playing–with the Republicans.

It will look into the Scouts’ “possible problematic relationships with other organizations”
Um, like secretive pedophile societies run by elderly unmarried men?

somethingblue commented on the blog post Reid Rejects Republican Plan to Replace Defense Spending Trigger
Tough talk from Reid is generally followed by total caving in the next news cycle. I’m not sure why anyone would take what he says seriously, least of all the GOP.

From Sternly Worded Letters™ to Sternly Worded Phone Calls. What’s the next step? HHS threatens to unfriend them on Facebook?

The Democratic establishment also wants to avoid the expiration of all the Bush tax cuts. We saw this movie in 2010.
Yeah, and I predict they won’t have done anything about the sucky ending.

somethingblue commented on the blog post Indiana Primary – Live Blog – Update: Lugar Loses Primary
That’s absolutely right. He wasn’t even a fair-weather moderate like Snowe or Collins. He always voted the party line on anything that mattered, always voted to sustain filibusters, just with a genial smile on his face instead of the typical sneer. It’s good to see him lose. Good riddance.

somethingblue commented on the blog post Indiana Primary – Live Blog – Update: Lugar Loses Primary
A big Lugar lose should be the ultimate nail in the coffin to the idea that Obama can create bipartisan agreement.
Maybe someone should tell Obama. He appears not to have gotten that particular memo. Grand bargain, here we come.

Lugar and his fellow “moderate” Republicans spent years enabling people like Mourdock.

It’s tempting to respond in Birtherese.
“The President says he’s opposed to equal rights for gay people, and I take him at his word.”

One of the banks’ more effective purchases has been Congressman Spencer Bauchus (R-AL), who chairs the House Financial Services Committee
I think you’re conflating Spencher Bachus with Sen. Max Baucus. (Baucus is owned by the health insurance industry, not the banks.)
