At some point I got tired of the entrenched cynicism on the left. First, it was Obama must be centrist because he gets media coverage and raises money. Then he's centrist because no Democratic nominee could possibly be a real liberal. Now he's centrist because he made four appointments to non-policy positions and none of them were Noam Chomsky or Ralph Nader.
If people are this eager to be disappointed then they will be no matter what Obama does. The Republicans are eagerly hoping for liberals to be quickly disenchanted with Obama so they can bounce back in two years. So pushing this cynical meme even before giving Obama a chance to take office doesn't help anything.
