Let Obama continue his corporatist policies and lose out the elections to the right fair and square?

But post this as a diary here.

I'm certainly not claiming to have a general magic key, but it's easy to see specifics e.g. on economic policy. For example, the US far right would like to blame Bernanke and Geithner for the financial crisis - and by implication Obama. And much of the US "left" has joined in - although it's utterly clear that no positive result can follow for the "left". As a political tactic, the demonization of "banksters", rhetoric about "blood sucking squids" and so on seems to me to play into the hands of the far right and its conspiratorial view. On the other hand a positive program of building green manufacturing and pushing for a consumer protection agency to break banking power, demanding a jobs program, and so on has actual potential positive outcomes politically in terms of stronger unions and control of outposts of government.

I'm thinking of how to present this in a different way and will post then.
