Dems urge Obama to take a stand


White House press secretary Robert Gibbs’s recent complaint about the ingratitude of the “professional left” is a small symptom of a larger problem for President Barack Obama: He has left wide swaths of the Democratic Party uncertain of his core beliefs.

In interviews, a variety of political activists, operatives and commentators from across the party's ideological spectrum presented similar descriptions of Obama’s predicament:


By declining to speak clearly and often about his larger philosophy—and insisting that his actions are guided not by ideology but a results-oriented “pragmatism”—he has bred confusion and disappointment among his allies, and left his agenda and motives vulnerable to distortion by his enemies.

The president’s reluctance to be a Democratic version of Ronald Reagan, who spoke without apology about his vaulting ideological ambitions, has produced an odd turn of events: Obama has been the most activist domestic president in decades, yet the philosophy behind his legislative achievements remains muddy in the eyes of many supporters and skeptics alike. There is not yet such a thing as “Obamism.”snip

There is not yet such a thing as “Obamism"

 

And I doubt there ever will. This clown doesn't have a clue on anything but trying to ram socialism down our collective throats.

 

Gerald Ford's time in the White House is largely forgotten, because he didn't do anything, which I wish I could say for Obambi. Unfortunately, given the stimulus, Obambicare, financial reform, the coming repeal of the Bush tax cuts, his attempt at Cap and Tax, sucking up to Muslims(and alienating our best friend in the Mid-East: Israel), and his apology tour, the Vacationer-in-Chief will leave a trail of bad ideas and even worse policy when he is retired in 2012.

Ford's term SHOULD be remembered for one simple fact. In taking the U.S. currency off of the Gold Standard he single handedly made current trillion dollar deficits possible. As long as the dollar was tied to something tangible, such deficit spending could not happen.

IIRC, it was Nixon who took us off the gold standard, not Ford...
