Piggy libs just get "cross".

Commie libs think different than normal people.

The adjective connotes hypocrisy along with self-righteousness.

Just when I thought Obama was 100% an empty suit he accurately describes the left in a word...sanctimonious.

You used the word “color” so you must be racist. (sarc)

Zorn’s the right guy to write the article—his name means “anger” in German.

Zorn, his wife Johanna (an executive producer at WBEZ-FM, Chicago’s public radio station).

It’s possible that Zorn is right and Obama doesn’t know the real meaning of “sanctimonious,” but being sanctimonious comes with the territory if you are a liberal...it’s in their DNA. Of course some are more noticeably sanctimonious than others, such as Jimmy Carter.

With no administrative experience in either the private or public sector. Just another self important Lawyer who wants to control others to satissfy their over sized egos.

And it was a similar set of high expectations that gave Obama a 7 percentage-point victory over Republican Sen. John McCain that fall and put him in a position to negotiate away one of his signature campaign promises two years later.

That is where this is wrong. It was white guilt and the MSM which promised racial absolution for voters if they voted for Obama. And they lied about him being a moderate: we were told to ignore his leftist past and associations, as well as his record of no accomplishment.

Hey, he admitted he was a liberal right in the article. Of course he's that stupid.

the liberal base is excessively idealistic, even naive, in its expectations of him.

In the immortal words of John Belushi -

"You f***ed up. You trusted him."

Obama is just another “unintended consequence” of the radical left. No different then any leftwing cause that has gone awry.

Now they are looking for excuses to justify their screw up.
