Today Obama confirmed his often avowed – though ignored true political feelings – as per this Politico headline

Obama: ‘Left-wing groups’ should back off.

In the same lunch he

In particular, he singled out Republican Senators who are trying to work in a bipartisan fashion

and that

he said he didn’t like to see ‘left wing groups attack fellow Democrats.’”

Politico believes this was in the context of Moveon preparing ads against the Blue Dogs.

I never liked bipartisanships – not even when it meant Democrats surrendering to Bush. I like it even less when it means Democrats surrendering to Big Pharma for no other reason than being bought.

Come to think of it, I like better this subtitle from the article

Obama waves off liberals

Bill Clinton’s unwise steps

I was expecting signs of CDS as Bill Clinton’s success took the limelight (NYC tabloids just ignored it), but the Wa Po headline still surprised me a bit

Clinton’s Unwise Trip to North Korea

Granted, it came from the Armageddon Man, John Bolton, but it was hardly the only one.

Cannonfire noticed an irony overload smear from no less than CNN. In their article about the rescue of the journalists from North Korea they repeat the bogus accusations of racism

His first major verbal stumble during that campaign came in the run-up to the New Hampshire primary when he told a crowd that then-candidate Obama’s claim to have been an early and consistent opponent of the Iraq war was “the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen.”..

At least the entire contest is given, but the “verbal stumble” qualifier still exists.

Hey, CNN – is the war in Iraq over? Last I checked, June was the blodiest month in 11 months there.

All months passed since Bill Clinton questioned Obama’s opposition to the war. How was it a stumble in 2008, when it’s 2009 and the war still rages on?

I guess, the same way rescuing the journalists from Korea was “unwise”.

And MoDo is counting schadenfreude for Bill

Bill had the additional schadenfreude spritz of knowing that he had usurped three men he’d had fraught relationships with — Bill Richardson, Jimmy Carter and Al Gore (whose media company the women were working for) — by getting the high-profile assignment to rescue the damsels in distress.

I’ll just add this to the irony quotient for today.
