He drones little babies to death and has murdered more innocent people than Gacy or Lucas or Polanski.
He is a mass murderer. He deserves to be tried in the Hague.
This is the kind of stuff that enables him and gives him permission.
Robert Gibbs, President Obama's former press secretaryfounded by both Gibbs and former Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt, will manage a nationwide public relations campaign to build support for lawsuits against teacher tenure, seniority, and other job protections won by teachers unions.
The national legal campaign is being organized by Campbell Brown, a former CNN anchor who told POLITICO that she has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in recent months to get the effort off the ground. She intends to start with a lawsuit in New York, to be filed within the next few weeks, and follow up with similar cases around the country. Her plans for the New York lawsuit were first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Brown's campaign will be modeled on the recent Vergara v. California decision, which dealt a major blow to teachers unions. In that case, a state judge earlier this month struck down California's tenure system and other job protections embedded in state law, ruling that they deprived students of their constitutional right to a quality education because they shielded even the most incompetent teachers from dismissal. Teachers unions have said they will appeal.
I don't know anybody like Gibbs and LaBoit and Brown, I would spit on them at sight, and I sure wouldn't hire them in a position close to me. For the union til the day I die.
Obama Agonistes my ass. He's scum.
Campbell Brown used to be cool. I don't know if she went nuts or if I was wrong at the time to think she was cool.
That's by David Bromwich? Oh, I guess I will read it, after all.
Ahhh, I've missed bob.
Sort of.
Oh look, a verbose mealy-mouthed hit piece written by some shithead leading with a bog-standard "Obamacare was a disaster" talking point whose primary credit is a book about Edmund Burke? And the thrice-estimable neb nosflow is telling us he needs it explained to him what's likely to have gone wrong with this?
This is not constructive, but Bromwich doesn't know half as much about US politics as he thinks he does.
More constructively, the fact that Obama is now trying to do things without input from Congress has nothing to do with his personality -- let's be honest, if Obama were working more closely with Congress, Bromwich would have no problem attributing *that* to a personality fault (and I'm pretty sure he did indeed do that back when he was writing interminable pieces about Obama three or four years ago).
"If the Republican Party hadn't squandered an impeachment a little too recently on Bill Clinton, they would probably answer the drumbeat of their rank and file and impeach Barack Obama." -- uh, no.
Ok, maybe this isn't one of his better pieces.
I can't take any 'left wing' critique of Obama which presents Rand Paul as at least as good and Ron Paul as clearly better.
Sometimes I wonder with people whose political writing I liked more during the Bush administration if their writing actually was better back then or if it just fit better with my biases. It's been years since I read any Bromwich, but I remember him having a good essay on euphemisms and the war on terror and a few other good pieces. Also, he used to get a credit line for having written about Hazlitt. Maybe the Burke is new.
if their writing actually was better back then or if it just fit better with my biases.
Target rich environment?
Academic concern troll is concern trolling.
his assessment of what the Tea Party wants seems fairly wrong.
Conflict-averse as he is, he never sees a fight coming until it is on him and almost out of control.
Oh, come on.
The piece should really be titled "What I Wish Obama Had Been Like (So the Right Wouldn't Look Like Such Buffoons)".
