The New Obama Populism

After Republican Scott Brown pulled off the improbable drubbing of democrat Martha Cokely in the most blue state in the nation, Team Omnipotent said from now on, they would attack all of their key issues from a "populist" angle.  We'll let's look at who that populism might be targeted at:

Republicans? Nope


Bankers? Nope

President Barack Obama wasn’t in a mood to hear them out. He stopped the conversation and offered a blunt reminder of the public’s reaction to such explanations. “Be careful how you make those statements, gentlemen. The public isn’t buying that.”


“My administration,” the president added, “is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”…

“The only way they could have sent a more Spartan message is if they had served bread along with the water,” says a person who attended the meeting. “The signal from Obama’s body language and demeanor was, ‘I’m the president, and you’re not.’”…

The president spoke of public outrage over the high flying executive lifestyle. “The anger gentlemen, is real,” Obama said. He urged pay reform and said rewards must be proportional and balanced, and tied to the health and success of the company.

Chrysler bondholders-or people who oppose Obama? Nope



Anyone who doesn't support Obama? Nope.



News network that isn't in the tank for Obama and it's viewers? Nope



People who support knowing what is in the bills taking control of their health care? Nope



Tea Party participants? Nope



Religious people or gun owners? Nope



Pickup Truck owners? Nope





Not many people left other than left wing nut jobs and the foreign leaders he keeps bowing to. Good luck with that populism thing!
