Meet the “Civil libertarians”, the new Communists.

Ambinder’s stenography suggests that the White House isn’t fighting obstructionist Republicans. It’s still fighting everyone living outside the Beltway. Where do these people come from? I thought the gateway to hell was barred, with that cute blind nun staring into the East River guarding it.

Standing up to Speaker Pelosi.
That’s Rahmspeak for, “I want her job,” and I’ll get in bed with the GOP, screw Congress and trash Obama’s legislative program to get it. Then I’ll scream that Congress don’t get no respect.

Encouraging moderate Democrats.
Screw the Main Street Americans who helped get Obama elected and expected he would lead with their interests in mind.

Entitlement reform.
Screw Democrats and everyone who worked an entire career expecting that the federal government keeps its word. We are all American Indians now, with five hundred years of catching up to do.

Wrong, Raven. Obama gave well documented reason for any and all to believe he wouldn’t pull shit like he did in this court case regarding State Secrets. If you don’t think we aren’t allowed to expect better of him than what we are getting, than you haven’t read his promises about policy changes and such in his own words.

I only “discovered him” about 2 weeks ago. I’m glad to hear that he’s on MSNBC because he’s wonderful. He appeared on CNN today to talk about his piece in the Post but the CNN host evidently only read as far as the name calling and missed the larger point in the piece. Oh well, at least they invited him to come on which is at least a step in the right direction.

Citizen Raven:

Whoo there Brother, actually I give Obama more credit’n you do for his core values and politics…I jest think he suffered what Clinton did, he thought he was smarter’n everyone else around him, includin his base and now he’s findin’ out that there are a whole lot a folks out here that don’t need the new math ta figure out they’ve been screwed.

Humility will come much quicker for Obama than it did for Clinton…I still got my field equipment packed tight for ‘im…but I don’t know if I got enough field dressings and morphine Syrettes for the next fight.

He’s got more ta fear from some of his “friends” than he does from the stupids in the Senate and on the network news.

the idea that he somehow deceived someone doesn’t cut it

Yes, how could anyone think that the slogan “Change we can believe in” could mean anything other than more of the same. Sheesh.

But stick around wagonjak!

Mrs. Greenspan is a simple little old lady who should just host tea parties, but they put her in front of a camera instead. I don’t know why. She can barely utter her questions let alone make sense of the stories.
