If you mea...We have to define the "left." If you mean liberals or the NY Times that is not the left. Maybe you mean relative left which as far as I am concerned is close to the right. The real left has been brutal on Obama - branding him a neo-liberal. <br /><br />I agree on the oil spill. But it is ironic to see Bobby Jindal asking the federal govt to DO SOMETHING! And Saral Drill Baby Drill criticizing Obama. The tea party want no govt. They are getting what they want.ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-6717261093282909702010-05-23T18:50:17.427-04:002010-05-23T18:50:17.427-04:00Chaz,

I refuse to shill for ANY party. I believe in principles over party. Doesn't make me popular with some of my former friends on the left who have decided I am a "wing nut" now because I refuse to genuflect at the altar of Obama.<br /><br />But whether it was the health care fiasco that mandates 32 million new customers for the health insurance industry or the shitty Supreme Court picks he's made (the current one is Harriet Miers all over again - only for the left) or the illegal wiretapping or the financial bailouts or renominating Bernanke or ed deform or the mess in the Gulf that President Incompetence cannot seem to do anything about, I have held him accountable.<br /><br />As for the lefties who shill for him rather than stay true to their principles, fuck 'em.<br /><br />They're no better than the FOXIES or the people at Little Green Footballs or Red State who thought Bush could do no wrong (even when he was spending the country into bankruptcy and expanding government power and spending while diminishing civil liberties.)reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-3095288833965052482010-05-23T18:34:25.150-04:002010-05-23T18:34:25.150-04:00BE:
