Obama Continues To Be Indistinguishable From Republicans

Obama is such a fount of right-wing talking points, I expect him to start demanding to see his own birth certificate any day now…
President Barack Obama said on Tuesday he would order a government-wide review of regulations with the goal of eliminating those that hurt job creation and make the U.S. economy less competitive.
“It’s a review that will help bring order to regulations that have become a patchwork of overlapping rules, the result of tinkering by administrations and legislators of both parties and the influence of special interests in Washington over decades,” Obama wrote.
In an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal, Obama said some government regulations have placed “unreasonable burdens on business — burdens that have stifled innovation and have had a chilling effect on growth and jobs.”
(…)
Business leaders say government regulations, including those being written for the healthcare overall and financial reform, have hurt job creation at a time of high unemployment.
So President Hopey Changey hates progressives, is pro-tax cuts, pro-security state, anti-Social Security, anti-workers, anti-transparency, and now anti-regulations. I’m having a hard time seeing what makes him a Democrat in any meaningful sense of the word. Then again, maybe that word doesn’t mean what it used to anymore.
