Obama needed Dean and his crazed, totally committed Deaniacs (like me, like my friends and family) to pump all that money into his campaign, defeat Clinton for the nomination, and carry previously red states like mine (NC.) But now that he's in...not so much.
I knew the minute that Obama picked Emanuel for his COS, and Clinton for SOS, that AIPAC and the DLC was going to be running things for the next 4 years. A center-right, pro-business, pro-Israel conservative administration. Philosophically, Obama is not part of the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party. My hopes for a pro-union, pro-equality, anti-war president have dimmed. I should have saved my time and energy and let Hillary win the nomination, I would have gotten the same administration as we're going to get with Obama.
Rahm Emanuel is going to be trouble.
Obama is running a 79% approval rating with a majority in both houses, here is what Obama should be doing, peel of a few Republican senators and forget the rest. Do what you got to do and forget the silly Republicans and stop bending over backwards to appease the Republicans, you never will win them over.
You know, i don't think its beyond the realm of possibility that Dean backed away from wanting the cabinet post.... Pat Leahy is pretty old, maybe he's secretly planning on retiring if Dean would be willing to run for his seat? Just a thought, theory, abstract arm-waving....
