3. I don't support many of his positions. But I knew that from the beginning when I finally came
Edited on Thu Dec-18-08 09:13 AM by Liberal_Stalwart71
around to supporting Obama that it was going to be this way. I knew that he would try everything in his power to distance himself from liberals. Liberals are a prejorative and a nasty, despicable thing to be ( :sarcasm:), so he must do what he needs to do to be accepted by the syncophantic Blue Dogs and DLC who were largely responsible for giving Bush everything he wanted and allowing this criminal administration to literally get away with murder and despicable crimes against humanity.

I don't know why so many liberals are surprised. They should have known that it would be like this.
