Barack Obama, honeymoon killer?

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

    Yeah, what most everyone else has said

    I particularly agree with the person who mentioned Kucinich, my own dear congressman, and someone whose ideas I agree with at one level. But I don't think I'd want him running things right now, even if he could have gotten more than 5% of the vote. I want the guy in there who is getting ready to do what we elected him to do - make the country work for ordinary people, and change the way things have been done the last 8 years.

    And yes it is crazy to criticize how he's running the country two months before he gets to start running the country.
