The Audacity of Listening
The left wing of the left wing of the Democratic Party has its undies in a bundle. Seems they feel betrayed by Obama’s move to the center. Ok, I won’t forgive him for his FISA vote until he fixes it next year…I’ll wait and see on that one. Obama HAD TO move to the center - and it’s a good thing…Gail Collins at the New York Times does a better job than I could on that move.
Think back. Why, exactly, did you prefer Obama over Hillary Clinton in the first place? Their policies were almost identical — except his health care proposal was more conservative. You liked Barack because you thought he could get us past the old brain-dead politics, right? He talked — and talked and talked — about how there were going to be no more red states and blue states, how he was going to bring Americans together, including Republicans and Democrats.
Exactly where did everybody think this gathering was going to take place? Left field?
