Ben Smith, the 'Dem' blogger on Poltico, trying to compare Obama to Bush
I've always sensed an Anti-Obama sentiment from Ben Smith of Politico. He is their Democratic blogger. His latest posts shows that he may actually be a closet Republican. He implies that Obama is lazy like Bush because Obama had a long gym workout yesterday. Why doesn't this Dem reporter discuss McCain not working a single weekend during this year and his vote attendance record in the Senate this year.

Speaking of Bush comparisons...

...Obama spent more than three hours in the gym yesterday.

3. Uh yeah!!! He's 100% HRC supporter, I suspected for months he was PUMA.

I'm not a fan of his writing because of that. He's totally an HRC supporter and always has been. If I tempted to say he's a PUMA. Actually, I would say that a lot of the time.

6. Too many Dems have aligned themselves with the goals of the GOP since 92
Thats why the DLC was created, to subvert the Democratic party and create a hedge against any loss by the GOP in order to maintain the corporate hold over our government.

McCain isnt trusted by the corporate money types, thats why his candidacy in 2000 was sabotaged to put Bush in charge.

These same wonderful folks thought Hillary was a lock to win both the nomination, and then the Presidency, so they didnt try to influence the GOP primaries to get one of their guys (Rudy or Romney) the nomination.

But Obama screwed that up, and McCain won the nomination too early for them to derail his nomination.

Now these RNC/DNC whiners are pissed, as they dont have anyone on the top of either ticket to work towards their goals.

Ben Smith is an example of that kind of whiner.
