Gee whiz, boys and girls, he's a politician!
How dare he not fulfill your agenda for him!
I been blogging about this for months. It's boring to see this clinging to an illusion. He owes the Clinton's more than anybody, and the Clinton's had a meritocracy in the first place and now they are more seasoned and able to compensate for Obama's lack of experience.
Yeah, I don't like Lieberman. I think he's a two faced, war mongering opportunistic smart ass. He's got the biggest shit eating grin in politics. And Richardson is the most transparently self-serving prick I've seen in awhile. I hear him speak and the only thing I hear is "me, me, me."
Politics is harder without ideology than with it because it's less controllable and certainly less predictable. Now, what about the Supreme Court? It will be hard to see him compromise on an appointment there when it arises, but when it really counts what direction will he turn?
