The reason Barack was NOT my top choice during the democratic primaries is EXACTLY the reason is most fervent supporters are disapointed now. Did any of them actually LISTEN to his words?
The only reaching across the aisle I wanted to see was when the D's reached across to take a big handfull of the R's yarbles - and then squeezed the beejezus out of 'em. Bipartenship pretty much precluded going throug the Dept of Justice and weeding out all the crummy political appointees and most of the other "change we really, really needed".
Barack ran as a centrist and is now performing as one. IF you wanted a liberal you should have backed one.
NOT that I'm anti-Barack - he just was not my first choice as he is too conservative for my preferences. Still MUCH, MUCH better than anything the Repugs had to offer. But he's doing what he said he would.
