Got news for all you Buckos: All Obama ever wanted was to be President. He never cared how he got there. Helloooo. Were you watching the first day he announced he was running and threw Jeremiah Wright under the bus? That should have told eveyrone something right there about the guy. Opportunistic. Never met a teleprompter he didn't like. Has a platitude for everything.
The joke is on all of you. Bill Clinton said it was all "fantasyland." And Hillary Clinton summed him up rather nicely. After citing a litany of her accomplishments, she summed up Obama with, "...all he brings is a speech he made in 2004."
Think about it for a second. Who does Obama know? Other than home-grown terrorists in Chicago and other like-minded "community activists (whatever THAT means!), where are his long-term relationships and connections to those who actually have experience running federaql government? That's right.
What? Did the idiots on the far left and the netroots really think they were going to run the show? Why? They didn't get him elected. A badly run McCain campaign coupled with a real economic crisis just before election day is what sent moderate independent voters holding their noses and voting for him - and running from McCain - to give him the election.
And it will be those same moderate independent voters who will send him and his Democratic-majority packing if he doesn't deliver for them. The netroots need to get over themselves. They are only as good as the next brownout anyway when you really think about it. See. Young people don't vote. They might sit up all night thinking of clever shit to type on their blogs, but they don't vote.
Grow up. In addition to many platitudes, the Democratic Party is an equal opportunity "fuck you" organization too. What? You mean you didn't know that? Gee. We thought you knew it all.
