When many of us were beginning to become concerned late last year following President Obama's election about his seeming eagerness to please his enemies and reward them, we were called trolls, and traitors.
How dare you criticize anything our PE is doing. He is a political genius! Lieberman, Warren, McCain et al. kill them with kindness! Go have dinner with the wingnuts! They will surely be wowed by your charms. Howard Dean? We don't need him anymore and his stinking net-roots. Obama is filling his cabinet with centrists because he's going to govern from the left, don't you get it?????
The first HUGE mistake was Rahm Emmanuel. A man without a progressive bone in his body. I gave Barack Obama my time, energy and over $1000 dollars for nearly two years. He was the liberal alternative to Hillary Clinton and her DLC bring back the 90s brigade. Instead we get foreign policy from Clinton and Richard Holbrooke, and domestic policy from Emmanuel and Larry Summers. Change you can choke on.
And now I'm supposed to get excited about fighting for this stimulus bill? Really? Give me something I can fight for Mr. President! Give me a progressive liberal democratic vision of a new America. We elected you to
kick ass in DC not kiss ass.
I don't want to hear what you think about the college football bowl system, the Super Bowl, Beyonce or Jessica Simpson. Take the long white gloves off before its too late. The right-wing in this country wants to destroy you! Wake the fuck up! Now!
We know you are a good man, but we need someone willing to say that those folks who gave us the Iraq war and gave us this disastrous free-market ideology should be AVOIDED and shunned! Not promoted to new levels of incompetence.
This is still EXTREMELY early in the game, but let's not get off to a Clinton-like start here. There is TOO much at stake!
First impressions are usually lasting impressions. President Obama if not now when, if not you whom?
