Liberals distancing themselves from Obama?

myp · Dec 2, 2009

Obama's Afghanistan decision was bound to come with political risk, but some of that risk could already be turning sour for the President. Some Democrats are already starting to distance themselves from Obama.

Thoughts?

I'm not really surprised. The major anti-war groups (much of them Liberal, some left-ish) supprted Obama's presidency. Hell knows why - Obama didn't even try to appeal to the Liberals, anti-capitalists and anti-war lot. I hope that people get disillusioned with Obama. He's too far right for most Democrats, let alone the actual left. I hope people start to realise they aren't going to get what they thought they were voting for.

I was watching CNN the other day and they had an "OMG Obama is a war president!!11!!" guy on. When asked by the anchor if he acknowledged that President Obama had declared the Afghan War to be a 'must-win' he did but then did the whole "but he didn't mean it" routine.

was all I could do is response to such idiocy.

I guess he had to "come out" sooner or later. I think the liberals in his Party were already unhappy about quite a number of decisions he made, that toe the Bush line, instead of committing himself to his campaign speech undertakings. His speech at Westpoint must have nailed it for them finally.
