Barack Obama Acknowledges he is a Neoliberal

[88m3]

Who are you even responding to? Nobody has said anything like that here. They’re literally responding to an article talking about his book. Go whine at the dumbasses in TLR who actually deserve it. At least then you won’t look stupid. Time for you to go on ignore like the rest of the retards

What's your issue with what Obama wrote, Tough Guy?

Remember when this was a made up term by online leftists?
In Conversation With Barack Obama

I was in multiple battles on these pages with posters who claimed that neoliberal didn't mean anything and/or that Obama wasn't one of them.

Perfect example of this is his use of the phrase "residual unwillingness"

Residual....unwillingness...nikka just can't admit he was personally unwilling so he blames it on inertia

Great example when he talks about why he didn’t push for a public option:

It was based on my assessment of what we could get done during that window in which we still had a majority in the House and the Senate. And so, later, when the perception is — and I think the phrase that’s sometimes used is that a neoliberal ideology is what prevented us from getting single payer. Well, no. What prevented us from getting it was we didn’t have the votes for an approach to universal health care that scrapped the involvement of the private sector.

It wasn’t a neoliberal ideology, it was just neoliberalism.

You still are. Obama says he is but posters in this thread still don’t believe it and think it’s a real thing.

So called intelligent posters still being dishonest about how government works.

What modern nations do you feel are not neoliberal?

I wasn't aware you were viewed as intelligent here, but carry on.



(sorry, wrong thread, I thought this was the one where I was calling you out on pretending not to know there were going to be primaries in 2022)

You should come around more often.

Obama says things like this though


​

Basically he's saying he sold us out to not maybe weaken the party?

 

[SunZoo]

Obama talks about a post-Reagan era... he is incorrect, we're still living in the Reagan paradigm. And he operated in that paradigm.

He perfected it.
