Daily Kos Last year: Projecting perfection on an unknown is better than accepting a wonk who may give us what we want.
Daily Kos Today: The unknown isn't what we wanted, lets stop supporting him.
I say this because I hated Hillary Clinton. I absolutely detested her, the notion of nepotism and the idea that she brought bad ideas to the table is what made me dislike her so much. I was and still am a supporter of Bill Richardson.
But low and behold. Obama is not what you wanted. He makes decisions that dont go with what you thought he should do and you complain.
Hillary should have been the nominee for you children, that way if she had acted in this fashion you could pass it off as "Well, I dont like it and I wanted the other guy but I still prefer a Democrat in power, so I will ignore it"
Instead it is "Obama broke his promise. I am going to lessen my support because I thought he wasn't a politician"
If Obama is president he is going to make decisions that few of you will like.
-We are going to be fighting a war in Iraq for a longer time than you think.
-We may go to war in Pakistan or in Central Asia again.
-We may have to ignore massacres and genocide
-We are going to be at a time when convicted terrorists like Khalik Sheihk Mohammad may be executed.
Lets be real here. Obama is going to be running the office of the President of a war hungry nation and filled with a world of cowards and abusers.
If Hillary had been in power you would have made excuses for all this happening.
