Links for 03/14/16 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: The real problem that Lozada (or Frank and Press) should have mentioned is the Democratic fascination with the middle class, which assumes the working class is included - even though it is not. The other problem is that Obama filled his economic team with Clinton retreads, so we got Clintonesque policies and nothing for underwater mortgage borrowers. Could he have done any better with a more radicalized staff? Probably not as far as relations with Congress went - but he can't be faulted for Republican racism and anti-ageism. Still, it does give one pause if Obama is Clinton two to have Clinton three on the horizon. Sanders is definitely the winner in such discussions.
We should not publicize instances where politicians in this climate actually pursue friendly relations, even if they are co-religionists. Extremist voters hate such comity.
Rahm is the ultimate Clintonite, and his Clintonian triangulation has not done either the teachers or the south side of Chicago any favors. Was it a cheap shot? None of Rahm's machine was going for Sanders anyway - although that would be a strange way to get the black vote in Illinios.
