This is an old interview, but an important one. Bill Maher said during the CNN interview:
I thought, when we elected the first black president, as a comedian, I thought two years in, I'd be making jokes about what a gangsta he was, you know?" Maher said. Instead, Maher said we've got "President Wayne Brady.
For him to be talking about compromising with the Republicans on the Bush tax cuts, where -- where are they going to draw a line in the sand? When are they going to remember who they are?
Rightardia agrees. Bush won the 2000 election by a a hair and had no mandate. Did GW Bush have trouble getting a lot of regressive laws passed? Not as much as Obama who was elected with a mandate when he took 57 per cent of the vote.
The Democrats need to be tougher and more willing to use the Senate filibuster when they are in power. They also need to work harder to defeat wingnuts like Michelle Bachmann in the Senate and Jeanne Schmidt in the House.
