re: #239 Walter L. Newton

Obama invited the true left to the dance and you all danced with him, now own it…

Like I said above, it’s amazing who much I am see the true left now try to blame everything that has NOT happened on the GOP, or the crazy right crap we are seeing… now of that really matters… the crazy right nuts are not stopping the left from doing anything…

That;s how you get elected! Fire up the activist base, tack to the middle. I knew exactly what I was getting with Obama. I am not wearing rosed colored glasses. I have not been truly surprised by any of his decisions. I wanted a competent guy with some nuance as my president. That’s what I got. Is he doing everything 100% how I’d like? No. Is he doing pretty good? I think so.

The crazy right nuts aren’t helping, with their constant opposition to everything in Senate. GOP opposing everything as a bloc helps give moderates and conservative dems more power, because they wind up being the holdouts for all those deals and gimmes. To pretend that the kook right has no effect on the Obama administration, it just doesn’t wash. They have an effect!

But I certainly don’t blame everything that hasn’t happened on the GOP, there’s plenty of blame to go around to Democrats as well.

Man, I get the feeling that because I consider myself a liberal, that people believe that means I was hoodwinked by Obama. Nothing could be further from the truth. he’s a moderate. I knew he was a moderate. I expected him to govern as a moderate. He’s pissing off the far left and he’s pissing off the right.

I don’t dance with politicians. They have awful music ^_^
