Barack Obama, honeymoon killer?

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

    Obama is doing exactly the wrong thing

    Medical marijuana won every single county in Michigan including the counties McCain won.

    So why is Obama picking all the most terrifying anti-science, anti-medical marijuana attack dogs from the Clinton administration for his drug policy team?

    The center moved away from Don Vereen a long time ago. Now Don Vereen stands to the right of Bush, because Don Vereen wants to incarcerate patients, and that's a line even Bush refused to cross.

    What Obama said before the election: I'm going to protect the patients from fear.

    What Obama did after the election: Hire the one guy in Washington the patients have reason to fear the most.
