The Ignorant Investor

I'm starting to think that democrats don't like Barack Obama's promise of a new tone in Washington.

The democratic bloggers I've been reading are sounding militant and the polls favoring Clinton indicate that what they want is a partisan warrior. Someone who can take the democratic agenda and cram it right down the republicans' recalcitrant throats. We've seen this approach over the past 7 years as Bush has used his razor thin majorities in the elections he's won to impose radical right-wing and business friendly policies on the rest of the country.

Believing the republicans party to be weaker than it's been in decades, the democrats aren't eying the White House with thoughts of moderation and bipartisanship. Obama's song of new beginnings and working together isn't connecting with many democrats even as it rallies independent voters. They want political blood. Revenge and vindication.

Hillary is offering to bring it to them.
