Barack Obama, honeymoon killer?

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

    We need the center

    Ok, everyone. I am so tired of the whiny whiny liberal tone of salon lately. Grow up, Traister! Grow up Madden. We all knew he was going to govern from the center. We need the center. The center is what won this election.

    Hello, we're in a culture war! We have been for decades, and sorry, the left hasn't been winning it. This is a chance to get beyond some of that alienation, and some of the alienating politics, and get some middle of the road things-- like health care and the environment-- taken care of AT ALL. So let's do it.

    Remember how fast Clinton started the Gingrich revolution? Our country and congress can't take an Obama who is going to alienate the right. Let him govern from the center. Stop heckling. Work for progressive change in other ways than mudslinging the president-- and his wife for staying home, for heaven's sake.
