Barack Obama gives way to Republicans over Bush tax cuts Allies say president 'blackmailed' into extending tax cut for wealthier Americans which may cost $4tn in lost revenue' ( From The Guardian). Lou had a very good post on his blog about Obama being a blue dog Democrat and not a hapless wimp who is being bullied by vicious Republicans. Lou is certainly correct, IMHO. However whether he is a blue-dog or a wimp he would have to be one of the most loathsome creatures in world politics. comradely Gary ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
