If Obama is surrounded by "third way" Dems, seeking a restoration of the Clinton years, they could well be misjudging this. Worrying about being re-elected usually drives politicians into cautious positions and to move the the right. n this case, I think that instinct - and certainly there are a lot of people around the president with that instinct - could well backfire because of the extraordinary nature of the crisis.

You are promoting the opposite position to the one you intend to promote here!

If the American people voted for their own best interests over corporations, the right wingers would nave never gained power, so that is a very weak argument.
