Sorry, Guero, I thought you knew.

Obama can't be called a socialist any more. W got jealous that Obama was getting all the attention and challenged him to a penny-pitching contest to see who got to be the socialist and George won. To celebrate he bought Wall Street and AIG and is getting ready to take over Detroit. Obama is now known as a Marxist.

Obama even admitted he is a big fan of Hart, Schaffner, and Marx. I'm still trying to find out who they are. Probably a commie cell or something in South Chicago. I wonder if they know where he was born?

Obama has reversed pledges to immediately repeal tax cuts for the wealthy and take on Big Oil. He’s hedged his call for a quick drawdown in Iraq. And he’s stocking his White House with anything but stalwarts of the left.

I was hoping someone would actually read the article and comment on the article.

I did read the article. It is clear the ultra left is not as happy with him as they were on the e4th.

The article states quiet clearly he has "disappointed" for picking centrist and re treads (my words)...........................Other than that what can be said...................Nice article though

That is exactly what we need in the White House. An intelligent, independent thinker, whose vision surpasses that of the people who supported him. This is why he LEADS, and they FOLLOW.

His policies will not be implemented until they are carefully considered.

I have to admit that I like the fact that he is not bowing to the left wing nuts but it may cause him some problems later in dealing with Congress. Wouldn't it be a hoot if he used moderate Republican support to overcome the lefties in Congress? We shall just have to wait and see.

Hard lesson learned. He is your typical sell-out politician. Only the true blue cult followers will remain in denial about his "reversals", deceptions, outright lies, etc. whatever you want to call what he is doing. I just call it sugarcoating the masses. But he is going to have to pay the piper sooner or later....
