Thanks for Backtracking, Obama

[one...two...tree 2,762]

I'm very very disappointed....

Nobody who spent the last many years devoting themselves to opposing Bush/Cheney abuses of executive power and civil liberties wanted to have to do the same in an Obama presidency. If you doubt that, just look at how intense was the celebratory praise directed at Obama from those factions in the first week. But unless the opposition of the last eight years was really just a cynical means for opportunistically weakening and demonizing Republican opponents rather than opposing policies that one genuinely found dangerous and wrong, then the actions of Obama are leaving no other choice but to object and object strenuously. As the first paragraph of today's NYT article put it, this week alone provided "the most graphic examples yet of how [Obama] has backtracked, in substantial if often nuanced ways, from the approach to national security that he preached as a candidate, and even from his first days in the Oval Office." If nothing else, refraining from objecting will ensure that this continues further and further.

I think Steve needs a big hug from everybody. Group hug!

I'm joining the revolution. No more kool-aid drinking from me. I'm off the teet. I've seen the light.

Tonight I'm going to get drunk and forget I even heard the name, Obama.

Say it ain't so. The teet is a great place to be. See how happy that baby looks?

It looks good on the outside...but on the inside its ice cold kool-aid that'll go right through your veins and make you see Obama as the Messiah. When you finally pull yourself away long enough, you'll realize he is actually the anti-Christ.
