That's right -- I've tried. Lord knows I've tried to continue supporting Obama. It's just that he's made it damn near impossible. He was in a position of strength with huge majorities in both house and senate -- and he has squandered them. Instead of being a leader of the Democratic Party, as well as our Chief Executive -- he acted like neither.
He seems to pander to the elites of right and (sorta') left. A weak health care bill, the inability to pass REAL financial reform and regulation.
His kicking aside both DADT and ENDA is just par for the course.
He's not a "real" Democrat -- if anything he's a "neo-lib", meanwhile the rabid right calls him a "socialist". If it's "socialism for the rich" -- they're right, otherwise they need to read a little history.

writing the daily updates on the blog.
