[i’d have said obama’s more than bit of a control freak]

They miss the obvious – you pander to your base during a primary and move to the center for the general. He started out right of center and is moving even further right for the general.

People didn’t get it – the primary was further left than he actually is. The primary was as far left as he wanted to go. He isn’t a liberal or a progressive, he’s a moderate conservative, free trade, pro-business, the whole 9 yards.

These people have no one to blame but themselves – they bought his act and embellished it with their own imagination. He’s a machine politician – that’s all there is to him.

When the veteran civil rights people all endorsed Clinton, people should have figured out that Obama was not their dream come true.

“But he opposed the war!’ Yeah, exactly the same way he is opposed giving away the Bill of Rights. A lot of people need to grow up and start seeing things as they are, not as they want them to be.

I’m more than a little tired of all of the crap I’ve had to put up with because I refused to go along with this charade. If people want to reward the Democratic party for what they have done, it’s their choice, but don’t expect me to join in the masochism.

A lot can happen between now and the election, but I suspect it will be a very low turn out, possibly the lowest ever. The feeling I get is that many people are now at the “why bother? who cares.” stage already. As you say, burned out.

C& L are, of course, all over it. 🙂

Where is Obama on the FISA fight? Obama responds! UPDATED 1,2, &3

Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT) on FISA: ‘The American people deserve to know exactly what happened and they deserve to know who is accountable. This bill fails that test.

Turley on new FISA bill: ‘It’s what any criminal would love to do.’

The Republicans are hurting, but turn out will win the November election. If people don’t turn out, you lose. People aren’t going to forget about this. This is a big deal after 8 years of another Imperial Presidency. This is my second, and I don’t want a third, no matter which party is in the White House.

Since he was declared the presumptive nominee he has reached out to everyone except his supporters. This is not going to cut it. If this goes through, the convention may not be the “love fest” he assumes, because he isn’t the nominee until after the convention.

I specifically chose the reactions from people who came out in support of him and avoided the Hillary bloggers to emphasize that this is a big deal and it isn’t going away.

I wrote:
“The Senator has caved in to Mr. Bush by accepting Telcom immunity in the FISA bill. Now is the time for leadership. Now is the time to stand up for our Rights. I had thought that Mr. Obama was capable of being the leader we need.

I would like to be proved wrong in this belief, but Mr. Obama has only days to prove me wrong by rallying his fellow Democrats in the Senate to stop this subversion of the rule of law.”

If any of you reading this are on his email list, I urge you to unsubscribe and use that field to show him what he must do to win your support.

obama sounds like the kind of instructor i would have liked, but it would appear that constitutional law was only one of several courses he taught. and apparently it wasn’t exactly his strongest course either, though i may be making an unwarranted inference from that last article.
