Ed Schultz Urges President Obama To Help In Wisconsin - MSNBC

29. You are absolutely wrong. I'm an old-time Democrat.

I proudly wore my Adlai Stevenson button to grade school every day.

I rejoiced when Kennedy was elected and cried and mourned when he died.

I worked hard, very hard on the McGovern election campaign and worked extremely hard on subsequent campaigns whenever I was living in this country and had the time to do so. I have walked my precinct and tabled and worked for Democrats every election. And I will do it again. But I am very disappointed with Obama. In my opinion, he is more conservative than any Democratic president who has served in my lifetime. He is weak on workers' rights, on money in politics, on economic justice, on human rights.

He is excellent when it comes to foreign policy but lets himself be managed by our military. However, I kind of forgive him that one because no president has been able to manage our entrenched military bureaucracy. That bunch always manages the president. And if it can't, it sabotages that president. So, my guess is that Obama probably has to please his masters on military policy.
