From this June 19, 2010 article in the Guardian, written by one who used to worship Obama:
...I did not think it possible, but our President Obama has an even thinner skin than Bush.Read the entire article HERE. It's a zinger.
With each passing day, as crises pile up, from out-of-control unemployment to the Gulf to Gaza to the failed Afghanistan adventure, the underlying liberal authoritarianism of the Obama White House becomes clearer. We, Obama's "liberal base", of which I'm a charter member, were in numb denial that our former community organiser, who elicited such an outpouring of love from his vast network of volunteers, is actually just another Illinois pol – but with a better vocabulary.
But the dogs of dissent are waking up and starting to howl.
And when the worms turn, it's gonna get ugly. I see no viable way for Obama to reverse this awakening.
As a just left of center friend asks ... who is the viable leader for the republicans who ALSO won't just be another kind of failure?
ReplyDeleteA good question.
Epa,
ReplyDeleteI don't see much hope on the GOP horizon, either.
