When Obama promised us that there would be no middle class tax increases the progressive-liberals thought: "This is great. Our Obama can get the voters to believe anything". When Obama said that Abortion and Illegals would not be covered under 'Obama-HealthCare-Reform', Libs thought: "Finally we have a progressive leader that will sign into law what we want while convincing the stupid voters that Democrats are passing what they want". Even now Obama is claiming the Obama-care will reduce the deficit based on phony use of CBO numbers. When Joe Wilson called Obama a liar during a Presidential address, Libs said: "Republicans will get crucified for challenging our great loved trusted leader".
But what happens when Obama tries to use those famous magical deceptive skills AGAINST his own liberal base for pure political reasons? With the Senate's Health Reform bill barely passed by 60 votes and Obama needing any bill to pass he tells the Washington Post that he never campaigned for the public option.

A year ago Bush was once again driving us nuts by using TARP money to bail out GM/UAW.
Enjoy liberals disappointment ping!
It could get interesting ;-)
" Better start chilling out."
I love it. It had to happen. If there was a Republican congress then Obama could say what Clinton did , “This is the best I can get from Republicans”. But Obama has the 60 in the Senate and bigger majority in the House and it’s the first year. This is killing democrats, so close, so far.
Naturally I am hoping they force a confrontation and a war within the party.
Progressive liberal is an oxymoron, since liberal ideas don’t cause progress.
Let’s hope they implode over Obama care.

Never thought I would see anything like that there.

They call themselves progressives, but Freepers here still call them Liberals (from talk radio.) One can argue they are not really liberals at all. Liberalism was not classically socialist.
"I Never Lied To You.
I Was Speaking Kazakh."
" 'Public Option' means,
'Buy from Big Company'."
How about the WH undeclared War on FNC? Think we will see that again the next year?
When Progressives originally chose that label in the 60s the usage they intended was akin to the
Progressive Income Tax. It had zero to do with progress and everything to do with
From Each according to his ability to each according to his need. aka a kinder gentler Stalin.
When you ARE A LIE and LIVE a LIE you LIE... hussein always lies... fits perfectly.

I have always said that it looks best if politically democrats fail due to their own in-fighting. That is why they STILL blame republicans.
Indeed!
