Barack Obama, honeymoon killer?

The Clintonites in his Cabinet, forgiveness for Lieberman, the creeping signs of centrism -- progressives aren't ready to panic, yet.

    Tax Cuts promise

    I can deal with the former Clinton staffers being part of Obama's team. I can sort of take the Lieberman thing in that I can see how this will eventually play out to Obama's benefit (although I have to wonder how much AIPAC pressure there was to keep LIEberman on the HS committee). I think Hillary as Secretary of State will prove to be a mistake. But to go back on a specific campaign pledge to get rid of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy? Sorry, that is making me feel like I've been had. After being enraged over and over by Reid and Pelosi, I don't think I can take going through that with Obama. I know he hasn't started yet, officially, but I am getting that sinking sensation in my stomach.
