Moderate Dems Squeeze Obama | All Global News on One Page

If Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) and Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) are moderate Democrats, what kind of Democrat does that make President Barack Obama?
You can bet that the president wouldn’t like the answer — and with good reason. The increasingly regular use of the phrase “moderate Democrat” to identify the purple flank of the caucus is creating a rhetorical opening that could quickly turn into a more-than-moderate problem for the rest of the party.
...
Indeed, this may sound like little more than linguistic hairsplitting, but the stakes are high — particularly now that Democrats have a 60-vote majority in the Senate. And with battles over the stimulus, the budget, climate change and now health care playing out daily in the media, the repetition of the term “moderate Democrats” to describe the members of the party advocating the most conservative positions may already be taking its toll on public perception. Polls by Gallup and Quinnipiac University this week suggest the president’s approval rating has dipped a bit among independent voters — who have been getting the message not only from Republicans but also from Democrats that the president’s positions on everything from deficit spending to the public option need to be “moderated” if not outright spurned.

Here a Czar, There a Czar, Everywhere a Czar Czar… : WesternFront America

 Green jobs czar. This post is held by Van Jones. Officially he is Obama’s special adviser for enterprise and innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

Jones was a founder and leader of Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement. The group, now disbanded, had Marxist, Leninist and Maoist influences.

Jones admitted that he became a communist and radical after the officers accused of using excessive force on Rodney King were acquitted. He’s supposedly a reformed anti-capitalist, but not everyone is convinced.

Science czar. John Holdren is an ideologue who frets over global warming (junk science) and is a pessimist (in 1980 he thought the world was running out of natural resources) and misanthrope (he’s favored population control).

Climate czar. Before Todd Stern was appointed, he was a senior fellow at the left-wing Center for American Progress. His empty rhetoric on global warming can hardly be distinguished from that of Al Gore.
