I thought he expressed some more of my own thoughts extremely well. By the way, just to make sure no one reading this exchange misunderstands, when I wrote that reply to cybergata, it was not a disagreement but an extrapolation on agreeing with a post of hers.
And I ,like olegramps ( post 22) had serious doubts about Obama for these exact reasons from way back. Not to rehash the primaries, but learning from history is ALWAYS important...I feared he'd be a wishy washy centrist from the beginning ( although I still have managed to be disappointed) and thought that if he did not quickly learn that holding hands and singing kumbaya with the repubs was a terrible, possibly politically fatal mistake, then we were , to be rather crude about it...fucked. I have several theories about why he's acting like this ( including the Bill Hicks one; film of JFK; "any questions?").Maybe I'll do an OP on that some day. ( or not)
