OBAMA HAS TURNED THE CLOCK BACK: NO MORE "NEW DEMOCRATS"

WELL, MAYBE NOT THE CLOCK... THE CALENDER!


WSJ/STRASSEL:

The Illinois senator's primary victory marked the end of many things, and one looks to be his party's 20-year experiment with ideological centrism.

... What's left of the New Democratic agenda? On foreign policy, Bill Clinton engaged in Bosnia, and as recently as 2004 John Kerry saw the wisdom of running as at least a moderate hawk. But today's unpopular war has only emboldened the party to revert to its antiwar comfort zone.

... Mr. Obama calls for an immediate pullout of troops from Iraq, no matter what the consequences. His foreign policy, to the extent it is one, flows not from strength, but from greater American accommodation in the name of diplomacy. Mrs. Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have together held some 72 votes on Iraq, most devoted to cutting off troop money, blocking the surge, or forcing a pullout. Last year, all but 10 House Democrats voted for a withdrawal timeline.

... Economic centrism? What's that? Even Mr. Clinton's wife disavowed his New Democratic legacy by trashing free trade and Nafta. Mr. Obama raised her bet, aligning himself with leftist trade populists. The Democratic leadership has held up deals with Colombia, Peru and South Korea. Big Labor is calling the shots, and Big Labor will suffer no new trade.

BOTTOM-LINE: OBAMA WANTS TO TURN THE CLOCK BACK - NAY THE CALENDER - TO THE 1970'S.

CLINTON'S "NEW DEMOCRATS" SAID, "DON'T STOP THINKING ABOUT TOMORROW".

OBAMA'S MANTRA IS, "DON'T STOP THINK ABOUT THE 1970'S!"

IF OBAMA WINS, THEN THE RESULTS WILL BE THE SAME: RUNAWAY INFLATION; OUR ENEMIES STRENGTHENING AND AMERICA ON THE RUN ABROAD; AND HIGHER TAXES.

• I LIVED THROUGH IT.
• AND ONCE IS ENOUGH.

VOTE ACCORDINGLY.
