What's up with Obama? Reportedly, he was spewing rightwing talking points on Meet the Press yesterday.
Obama was selling Bush's Social Security crisis lies.
Paul Krugman writes:
"[It is] just incredible that Barack Obama would make obeisance to fashionable but misguided Social Security crisis-mongering a centerpiece of his campaign. It’s a bad omen; it suggests that he is still, despite all that has happened, desperately seeking approval from Beltway insiders."
Taylor Marsh has more on Obama 's Meet the Press interview, and it is not pretty. In her view, Obama is not the Anti Hillary candidate that some progressives are searching for: "This guy is so far off the Democratic party reservation I don't know where he's planting his primary flag, but it's nowhere a progressive Democrat or our party should willingly go."
