Obama can’t be thrown under the present bus because there’s no room under there anymore. His ego would need a bus of it’s own.

Ive always wondered why the left has such a “hair across their fanny” about the telecommunication providers. At one point the not so illustrious Bobby Kennedy(speaking ill of the assassinated–I’m a terrible person! )nearly destroyed them and lefties in many States are still trying. Why? I’ve never understood it. The ATT giant died a long time ago! Now the evil corporation is big oil!!! They(the left) never seem to get that the real 100 pound gorilla is our government. Apparently that can never be too big.

Nation magazine’s open letter to Obama: Please tack left before the election

Oh, no! The Nation may throw Obama under the back of the bus.

Nah, David Corn’s Nation Magazine won’t EVER throw Obama under the bus. When he said “tack left,” he means Hopnosis Messiah must go so far back to radical leftism, that he’ll actually fall off of planet earth.

Obama is smart to use the left to get the nomination, but since the left is such a radical minority, he cannot be elected without pretending to widen his base. He has to have the power to do what the left whats to do, but cannot gain power by only having the leftwing extremist’s support. Obama’s handlers know this and Obama is the tool they need to deceive enough voters to get it done.

Actually his current stance may be Change to fake out people who haven’t been following him to think he will govern as a centrist. Or the Obama from the primaries was Change to fake out the Left to think he would govern as they want. Problem is no one knows which Barry we can Believe in.

Libs are spooked big time by wiretapping but they never raised an eyebrow when Bill and Hil were mining info from FBI files.

For the left, there isn’t a problem in the world that can’t be solved by simply having the US walk away from it, not be involved, or capitulate to the opposing party or parties.

Please, everyone knows that the whole “Iraq war is a distraction from the war in Afghanistan” argument was just a bait and switch. The left doesn’t want us in either country, they were just using Afghanistan as a faux argument against Iraq. Now that we might send more troops to Afghanistan, they’ll bring out their true sentiment – that we should leave there as well.

Bill and Hillary Clinton, the smartest politicians of their generation, couldn’t get anything of that list done when they were in power.

What makes the progressives think Obama could? Wave his hand and the miracles flow?

I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for him to denounce “mercenaries,” but never mind that.

Heh. Well depends if he ever goes back to Iraq and needs Blackwater again.

Here’s what they want:

§ Defeat in Iraq post haste.

§ Communist financial and welfare system; blah blah blah; and meaningful government enforcement of all of the above.

§ Universal healthcare rationing.

§ An environmental policy that transforms the economy by sending 2,999,965 Americans into the rice fields.

§ An end to the protection of American and prosecution of our enemies that has flourished in the Bush era.

§ Loads more abortions.

§ A commitment to showing whitey how racial inequality feels, for a change.

§ An immigration system that doubles our serf numbers every decade.

§ Repeal drug laws.

§ Reduce the influence of those who disagree politically with us.

Do non-activists even know what the FISA imbroglio was all about? When polled about the immunity issue Americans supported it. So go ahead, tack Left and leave the majority of Americans behind to please the nut jobs on the Left. Please.

I think it is more likely Obama will write a conservative column for the Heritage Foundation before he tacks left again. He can’t let his Marxist mask slip again.
