Now that Salon has become a team of full-time Obama apologists, it will be amusing to watch their painful climbdown over the next four years. But at the moment, it's just getting dull.
It's telling that the Obamapologists can find nothing good to say about his post-election policy statements or appointments. None will dare to speculate that his huge stimulus plan is sound policy or will work; that he has a sound bail-out scheme for the auto industry; that he is wise to sign onto the Paulson-Bernanke Wall Street bailout bonanza (or has any positive change to make to that policy); that he will make any positive change regarding our foreign policy or foreign wars. They don't dare because they don't believe. Because frankly there is no reason to believe. They just repeat over and over, "you had no right to expect ... he never promised ... wait and see ..."
Y'all been punked.
