I've said all along that people need to look at Obama on his own terms.... The electorate was so disgusted that they gave Obama and his party the White House and the biggest Democratic majority in Congress in thirty years. They betrayed their easily-met promise of ending dont-ask-don't-tell. They screwed the labor movement royally on Employee Fair Choice. They sunk us deeper into wider wars. They kept all the concentration camps and expanded the government's authority to put people there. They gave as much money to Big Business as Bush had. They backed off on health care to actually propose making the system even worse than it is. Etc., etc., etc. The Democrats made and don't change rules that allow them to lose votes on anything remotely progressive. In response to losing votes, the Democrats move right. When they win votes, they move right. When it rains, they move right. When it doesn't rain, they move right. The standard talking points of the president's team of talking heads is that people shouldn't rush to judgment. The very fact that they can make such an argument with a straight face demonstrates how deeply contemptuous these people are of the American public...as contemptuous as the Bush people. All of them pretend that they have no attention span and that the people who do have one are being terribly unfair to pretend that an attention span and a memory matter. Pathetic.
