Listening to the right wing radio program telling me how brave and patriotic and American this kid in California was for flying a flag to school I could cut the propaganda with a knife.
So I figured I'd go listen to NPR where at least they're a bit more subtle in their propaganda.
They were basically talking about how the Democrats were trying to figure out what happened during the mid-term elections with the Republicans taking so many seats.
Their conclusion: Obama just didn't communicate things well enough to the people.
That, in reality, the stimulus package was very conservative because a third of the $800 billion was "tax cuts". And that the health care bill was actually a Republican idea of private health care coverage.
This is actually good news for 2012, and hopefully they don't figure out the truth. They actually believe their own rhetoric. That the people actually want their socialism, they just need to be told that socialism is good in the right way.
Keep trying to communiate your true intentions Mr. Obama...
