It was summed up perfectly today on The Strategy room on Fox. Obama has a brand. And a damn good one. The Republican Party is lacking a brand, and I think that is what frustrates me the most about the republican party. Sarah Palin is the closest thing to a brand that the republican party has but they are still missing the mark.
Hope
Interestingly, Obama chose Rahm Emanuel as his chief of staff. This is an interesting move by the President Elect, who ran on a platform of change and a message of bipartisanship. It looks like maybe Bill Clinton is actually the puppet master for this regime anyways as former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta is helping lead transition efforts.
Nope
I don't buy it. But I am optimistic. At this point we all need to be. With the current Economic Crisis (whose foundations were laid by former President Bill Clinton), what this nation needs most is productivity and history has shown that the biggest antithesis to productivity is socialism. Bear in mind that Karl Marx himself poised that socialism represents the transitional stage between capitalism and communism.
At the end of the day the difference between liberals and conservatives is that Liberals believe that the government is here to solve their problems and conservatives believe they are responsible for their problems. Isn't it ironic that usually the poor are more liberal and the rich are more conservative.
