I should have known better.
For those of you who have been following me, most of you know that I grudingly voted for Obama last November. It was a ticket-spittling vote: voted for Obama and then voted GOP down the line. I noted that I was going to cast my vote with some trepidation:
While I am supporting Obama, it is with trepidation. I worry that once in office he will veer too far to the Left, pleasing the Democratic base. I can only hope that with so much support from independents and Republicans, that he will realize that he has to govern from the center or face a backlash in 2010.
Well, it seems like my fears have been confirmed. It started with the Stimulus Bill that I thought was too stuffed with pork to do any real good. Now it comes in the form of Obama's proposed budget.
From far away, it looks good. As David Brooks notes, it spends money in some needed areas like the environment and health care. It's when you look closer that you see how bad it is and it plays to Obama's progressive base leaving moderates in the dust.

He doesn’t sound like a democrat. He’s sounds like one of the America Hating “Teach the GOP a lesson” types form FR.
I was in Austin last week, didn’t see a single 0bama bumper sticker. Surprised me, as these guys had Gore/Lieberman stickers until 2008. Libs never take the bumper stickers off their cars.
...what’s more telling....is when you can see the residue left from the removed sticker
And you sound like a baby.
What a babbling idiot. He hopes Obama doesn't do what he has always said he was going to do. You get what you vote for, not what you hope for.
My brother-in-law told me yesterday that he voted for 0bama as the “non-Bush” but he is now suffering from extreme Buyer’s Remorse. In fact, he told me that he now loathes Barry and what he is doing to our economy and to our traditions.
Ya think???
I stopped reading right there.
No - he's not screeching nearly loud enough to be one of them.
“Libs never take the bumper stickers off their cars.”
I’m not taking my first ever bumper sticker off either. I just changed the number. It used to say, “WE’RE SCREWED, 2008.” Now it says, “WE’RE SCREWED, 2009.”
Too many qualifiers.
Not serious
Still not seeing. MO
Unfortunately, your brother-in-law, like my future brother-in-law (who voted for Obama saying things like, “95% of the population doesn’t make $250K a year”), is an imbecile who should not be permitted to vote by virtue of his sheer ignorance.
The blind and gullible continue to make excuses and defend the ineptness of the Messiah,
while the White House hit squad attacks anyone that even attempts to call ‘dear leader’ out on his decisions.
Listen to my tag line. Maybe this will open some eyes, maybe not but people best start paying attention.
It is too late, but at least the middle of the road “undecideds” are fleeing hussein. He will always have the 29% moonbat support.
Sorry Denis, it isn't going over here!
Bam is doing EXACTLY what he said he was going to do.
You chose not to listen to his words but you romanced him in YOUR own mind.
So your post, then, wins "most thoughtful, mature, and insightful analysis" post of the day? =)
This guys was not a democrat. He is also clearly none too bright on things political, judging by his assessment, during the election, of what he thought Obama would do.
