We urge you, then, to listen to the voices of the people who can lift you to the presidency and beyond.Since your historic victory in the primary, there have been troubling signs that you are moving away from the core commitments shared by many who have supported your campaign, toward a more cautious and centrist stance--including, most notably, your vote for the FISA legislation granting telecom companies immunity from prosecution for illegal wiretapping, which angered and dismayed so many of your supporters.
We recognize that compromise is necessary in any democracy. We understand that the pressures brought to bear on those seeking the highest office are intense. But retreating from the stands that have been the signature of your campaign will weaken the movement whose vigorous backing you need in order to win and then deliver the change you have promised.

Kinda reads like a second Communist Manifesto.
Obama: Change every 15 minutes! All day Every Day! What’s your position on .....oh never mind
Beyond?! Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Empire!
Uh oh. At the link there is a chance to sign YOUR VERY OWN PERSONAL NAME to this “manifesto.” Ahem.
Everytime I see Obama, I feel like singing....
When the moon, is in the seventh house
and Jupiter aligns with Mars
and peace will guide the planets
and Love will ...the stars.....
THIS IS THE DAWNING OF THE AGE OF AQUARIUS...tHE AGE OF AQUARIUS.......AQUARIUUUUUUUUUSSSSSS
You devil, you :)
Seems just being President of the United States is not good enough for this crowd. Man, are they going to be disappointed.
“We recognize that compromise is necessary in any democracy.”
What a laugh. If the Nation had its way, the next time we’d be posting to FR, it would be from a Gulag in the ANWR.
That's their frustration. That's why they want "change". They don't want a democracy, they want totalitarianism. That way, compromise isn't necessary.
Wow! Studs Terkel, Gore Vidal AND Howard Zinn! It would take a fella all day just to shovel out from behind just those three!
The Nation, Katrina Kommie Chick Van De heuvel’s little rag given her by daddy espouses marxist, socialist anti American rhetoric. We need to constantly observe people like this and watch their moves.
Beyond??? They mean installing him as the new dictator and doing away with the constitution don’t they.
Democracy??? They and too many conservatives on the national stage still use that term. We are NOT A DEMOCRACY!!! Can’t you dimwits get that through your heads? We are a representative republic governed by a constitution. Again, you conservatives who use the term included, we are NOT A DEMOCRACY!
WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY: And some people were pro-Nazi, too, some people were pro-Nazi.
GV: is you can express any point of view you want. Shut up a minute.
WFB: No I wont. Some people were pro-Nazi, and the answer is they were well-treated by people who ostracized them, and Im for ostracizing people who egg on other people to shoot American Marines and American soldiers. I know you dont care, because you dont have any sense of identification
GV: As far as I am concerned, the only sort of pro- or crypto-Nazi I can think of is yourself. Failing that,
MODERATOR: Lets not call names.
GV: I would only say that we cant have the right of assembly
WFB: Now listen, you queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi
MOD: Lets stop calling names and lets get
WFB:
or Ill sock you in the goddam face and youll stay plastered.
