[Kevin Drum Feed | Mother Jones] Angela Merkel in Trouble | Mother Jones: Merkel came to power via a grand coalition with the Social Democratic Party as a results of the federal election in 2005 which left no other option to form a government, in particular not the center-right coalition with the neoliberal Free Democtratic Party Merkel very much would have preferred. As there is not that much common ground between Merkels conservatives and the social democrats, the grand coalition agreed to a mutually acceptable minimum program, but otherwise pretty much sailed on autopilot for four years.

In doing so, he will link the Democrats to the second unpopular, economy-busting bill of the 111th Congress, and this one just before the midterms. The oil spill may be a disaster in the Gulf, but cap-and-trade is an economic disaster for the Midwest, the Coal Belt, the Rust Belt, and unpopular everywhere inside the two coasts. Right now, though, Obama seems determined to save himself through misdirection, and he’ll pitch this as a bill that could have saved us from Deepwater Horizon, even though it has nothing to do with the already-established drilling in the Gulf.
