RON ROSENBAUM: “I think it’s time the Obama team turns the stategy reins over to me. Ever since the misbegotten selection of the clownish Joe Biden, Obama and the entire Democratic party seem off their game. (Did I not predict Biden would be a continual embarrassment? What a lost opportunity!) They have no game. they have no line of attack. It’s either been conceding that George Bush was right about the surge (as Obama admitted to Bill O’Reilly, rather than focussing on the mismanagement of the war from about Day Three in a way that required the enormous unnecessary loss of life for five years). Or it’s gotten itself obsessed with their opponent’s vice presidential pick in exactly the snotty elitist way that seems to confirm what I believe to be a mistaken impression of Obama.”

And Mickey Kaus comments: “Not a crazy idea. Everybody hates the ‘hedge fund creeps.’ And the need for Obama to turn on his own party’s leaders (because both parties have effectively been bought by Wall Street) is a feature not a bug. . . . They “screwed up,” as Rosenbaum says. Yet they’re keeping the inflated paychecks, the lobbyists and (so far) their dominant place in the economic and social pecking order. Wouldn’t hurt to humble them.”

Plus this: “The biggest financial scandal in American history is going on entirely unacknowledged by both campaigns, but especially by the Democratic party which is supposed to be the guardian of the little people against Big Finance.”
