I posted a similar letter on Greenwald's site, but have to say Take a Deep Breath and look at what's going on.

I CONSIDER myself a way left of center liberal, and make no apologizes. I want to see national healthcare, end of war and all the rest, along with protected forests and parks, ecological progress and a massive reduction in military spending to pay for everything. I want to see the very rich taxed until they squeak, and the criminals who wrecked the economy dragged from their $25 million dollar houses and lashed publicly on television before they’re sent to jail. And, so on…

HOWEVER, I worked for President-elect Obama, gave money to the campaign, gave money to Move On. And, so on…

I MAY be a raving wild-eyed socialist at heart, but I’m also pragmatic enough to sit back and give Mr. Obama all the support I can muster so that he has a chance to keep us all from falling into the black pit that the Republicans have dug while they were looting the nation and murdering people.

NOW if rational people, and by that I exclude snake-handling pro-whatevers, can’t buckle down and help turn the Ship of State around before they start making demands that can only be addressed later, then I fear we’ll just hand everything back to the cretins at the American Enterprise Institute and let them elect Sarah Palin.

Good grief! He is not even in office yet and everybody and his grandmother is disappointed in our new President. The poor guy (not to mention all of us) is faced with the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression, two wars, massive debt, and practically everyone on the left is whining about change.

Duh, we already got changed (see the last eight years--better yet, see if you have a job, health insurance or a retirement plan!) We need experienced people in the cabinet, well, ok I would draw the line at Bob Gates, too, but that being said, I think we need to trust Obama for a while.

We don't need a knight in shining armor right now, we need someone who knows how to work the "Jaws of Life" and some competent paramedics.

See you at the Inauguration, fellow lefties. Let's celebrate something for a CHANGE!!

WTF?

I voted for Reich and I got Rubin
