I agree with that 100%! Like I’ve said I think liberals are going to be much more dissappointed than we are with his Presidency. I’m going to hate what he does but it is going to make them scream bloody murder when the economy tanks while his polices push prices higher and higher. We can just smile then and say “we tried to tell you but you were too drunk on the kool-aid”
Then again, were the liberals upset with clinton after he was done? Nope!
I wouldn’t get my hopes up too high for them turning on their messiah!
Might we have another Clinton on our hands rather than McGovern with political skills?
Not a great choice, but I guess I would take Clinton (in terms of political pragmatism) over taking the country way left.
Don’t get me wrong, I think Obama IS far left, and he will drag there as far as he can.....but I think he wants to be powerful, in charge and perceived as popular MORE than push agenda. IF the GOP gets their...uhm...fortitude back, they, maybe, can drag him back to the center ( or recreate the center)
The question is, will Obama overreach like Clinton did to provide an opening? He seems VERY aware of the Clinton and Reagan moves from a historical perspective.
Of course, if the GOP doesn’t get its brain back it won’t matter anyway. In addition, we are in a world where a President who the left and media portray as a far right conservative, approved of nationalizing (de facto) Banks.....the perception game is waaaaaaaaaaaay out of whack right now. It will take time to adjust it.
