The useless propaganda.
This kind of propaganda is ridiculous. Chances are unless you work on this show, obama did squat for you. He's a neoliberal first, and a black guy like 649th. New democrats took over the federal level of the democratic party way back in the 90s, and obama is a new democrat. They rose right with all the other 'conservative' nonsense. Obama is from the chicago school that pushes supply side economics. In case you don't know who they are.
New Democrat Movement
GROUP
The right wing current of the Democratic party, characterized by its neoliberal economic policies, support of Israel, desire to increase defense spending, and links to heavy donors and fundraisers.
Believes that "left-wing" positions are not politically viable. Describes itself as "moderate and pro-growth". Probably responsible for erosion of the Democratic Party's historical labor and minority base due to support of treaties like NAFTA, lack of support for affirmative action and poverty programs, and their siphoning away of campaign funds from minority groups.
At the national level, the movement was founded by the Democratic Leadership Council (501c4 educational non-profit, founded 1984) and includes the House New Democrat Coalition (founded 1997), the Senate New Democrat Coalition (founded 2000), the New Democrat Network PAC (founded 1996), the misnamed Progressive Policy Institute (501c4 think tank, "Bill Clinton's idea mill", founded 1989), and the umbrella funding group The Third Way Foundation (501c3 non-profit, founded 1996).
Since coming to power within the Democratic Party with Bill Clinton's presidency, the New Democrats/DLC have worked towards "essentially the same purpose as the Christian Coalition... to pull a broad political party dramatically to the right" according to John Nichols of The Progressive.
DLC operatives actively worked to sabotage Howard Dean's candidacy for the US Presidency in 2004, claiming that the "far-left" Democrat was wrong to attack George W. Bush's tax cuts and national security policies.
Corporate contributors to the DLC and New Democratic Network include Bank One, Citigroup, Dow Chemical, DuPont, General Electric, Health Insurance Corporation of America, Merrill Lynch, Microsoft, Philip Morris, RJR Nabisco, Chevron, Prudential Foundation, Amoco Foundation, AT&T, Morgan Stanley, Occidental Petroleum, Raytheon, and many other Fortune 500 companies.
"[Democrats should] shift the primary focus from racism, the traditional enemy without, to self-defeating patterns of behavior [among blacks]" --Chuck Robb, 2nd DLC Chairman, Governor & Senator of the Great State of Virginia, White Man, 1986.
"I'm from the democratic wing of the Democrat Party" --Paul Wellstone, progressive Democrat, criticizing the New Democrat Movement.
"Democrats for the Leadership Class" --Jesse Jackson, progressive black Democrat, describing the DLC.
Obama: 'I am a New Democrat'Now lets take a look at how much obama and new democrats have helped all of us peasants.

Extreme Poverty in the United States, 1996 to 2011Seriously, this is ridiculous. The only party on the ballot that will bring back jobs and restore a proper economy is the green party. Don't let these people who have these kinds of posts deleted win. Just go and read the platform yourself. It's miles above these right wing parties. Greens support a universal basic income and reducing the economic slavery that keeps illegals coming here and taking advantage in the first place. At least check it out.
