A Cabinet full of Demoblicans and Republicrats...
Progressives swim at their own risk in a pool of DLC sharks.

4. And a forum full of fanbois who jump ship after 2 weeks, and 2 months before he takes office.
My choice is clear. I'm gonna dance with him what brought me. You guys can go to hell.

7. Obama does not seem to understand that he is going to have
a hard time getting re-elected without our support. I remember Humphrey. He was a good man, but he lost a good portion of the party because he seemed to lean too far right. And he was a staunch social liberal. One thing Bush was smart about -- he valued his base. Obama does not seem to understand that he needs to concern himself much more with the wishes of his base -- and we are his base. I bet the per cent of DUers that worked on the Obama campaign is very, very high.

8. The world doesn't revolve around liberals
Obama told you all along he would work with people on both sides of the aisle, people who have different opinions and ideologies.

Liberals always want to ruin Democratic candidates by insisting that everything should be as far left as possible. It's that kind of thinking that ruined the Democratic party in the 1970's, just as the ultra-far-right is ruining the Republican party today.

Yes, liberalism has done many good things, but YOU CAN'T GOVERN WELL FROM THE FAR RIGHT OR FAR LEFT, BECAUSE AMERICA IS NEITHER.

You can't get things done by polarizing people. People need to work together to accomplish anything, and Obama knows this. Too bad more lefties don't realize this, too. :(
