Ernie : A couple of comments ( 1 ) The WH has yet to begin its "Fall offensive" to sell the admin's policies to the public and this ought to win back at least some support, but ( 2 ) there is a problem with one could see this as positive sign, that Obama willing to abandon the Radical Left when they get out of line. :-) Namely, he knew, or should have known, about the hard Left views of people like Jones before it all hit the fan. Way to soon to tell where it all may lead, and no way to know if this "trend" has legs, but it is difficult not to notice a clear decline in Admin support even if, personally, OHB continues to be popular. But at the moment, in comparison to GWB at the same point, Obama has less support. What does it mean ? No way to know at this time. Stay tuned.

Hi Billy, On Sep 8, 2009, at 10:28 AM, [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) wrote: This helps explain why the political left is so upset about Mr. Jones's resignation. Listen to David Sirota, another left-wing think-tank denizen and activist, who wrote the following Sunday on the Huffington Post Web site: "Finally, the Jones announcement will inevitably create a chilling effect on the aspirations of other movement progressives. Van is a fantastic person who has done fantastic work. He's kept his advocacy real and didn't compromise his principles. And so when he was appointed to a high-level White House job, it seemed to validate that you could, in fact, keep it real and also advance in American politics and government. That is to say, his story seemed to prove that an outsider could also succeed on the inside—and that outside advocacy doesn't automatically prohibit you from one day working on the inside." Interesting. Though I suppose once could see this as positive sign, that Obama willing to abandon the Radical Left when they get out of line. :-) -- Ernie P. = _______________________________________________ Centroids mailing list: [email protected] http://radicalcentrism.com/mailman/listinfo/centroids_radicalcentrism.com Archives at http://radicalcentrism.org/pipermail/centroids_radicalcentrism.com/
