Reply #11: We chose Obama to make BETTER decisions, and expect him to do so. [View All]

Not just better than Chimp's decisions either. Better than Clinton's DLC pandering. If we wanted more of that corporatist triangulation horseshit, we would have elected Hillary. Now that's not a primary rehash, just a goddamn fact. Hillary would have been expected to act pretty much like Bill did, in terms of middle the road Republican-liteism.

Obama was supposed to be better than that. Not necessarily Kucinich level better, or even Dean level better, but somewhere left of the goddamn useless DLC that has destroyed this party.

But with people like Emanuel, Duncan, Salazar, Geithner, Summers, VilSuck, etc. surrounding him, it appears that he's not making the decisions we thought he would. And particularly when it comes to a Supreme Court justice, that person will be on the bench long after all the previously mentioned corporate fellation experts are gone, whether that is in 2013 or 2017.

This choice cannot be wasted on another right wing ass kissing tool. And Kagan appears to be exactly that. :evilfrown:
