“You’ve got some people like myself who are saying there may be an interesting design in what Obama is trying to do. Maybe it doesn’t fit easily in a neatly sculpted box of liberal pacifist and warmonger hawk. Maybe it’s more complex than that.”

ROTFLMAO! I love watching these Leftists tie their tongues in knots of psychobabble.

[ken21]

he’s got to take heat from his base—the left.

he promoted anti-war and anti-bush rhetoric,

now he’s accepting iraq and the clintons.

hillary voted for the war.

[pabianice]

Just mentioned on CNN: Obama to keep US troops in Iraq until December, 2011, followed by a “peace-keeping force.” LOL! LOL!

[pabianice]

Cries of despair from the Left

[BigBobber]

During the campaign Barry clearly stated he would move our forces out of Iraq and into Afghanistan, and that he would invade Pakistan. He also called for universal service to the country (a draft).

What is so hard for the lefties to understand? Why did they vote for this guy?

[FlingWingFlyer]

One thing that the morons on the left just don’t seem to get is, if you’ve seen one politician, you’ve seen them all. Skin color doesn’t change anything. They are all the same and are after the same thing. Money, power and screwing over the taxpayers.

[hinckley buzzard]

They love to make the simple complex don't they. "Nuance" over reality any day. The reality is, obama has now been briefed and now he knows the limits and parameters of his options. The same as they were for Bush--few and not very diverse.

[TexasNative2000]

Hey, “Doves”........welcome to reality. This ain’t a college lecture series - it’s reality

[jessduntno]

“You’ve got some people like myself who are saying there may be an interesting design in what Obama is trying to do. Maybe it doesn’t fit easily in a neatly sculpted box of liberal pacifist and warmonger hawk. Maybe it’s more complex than that.”

Or, MAYBE this empty suit is just another Clintoon liar...welcome to the real world, you leftist idiots...

[southernerwithanattitude]

Its amazing what a dose of reality has done for “the chosen one” huh? He told those idiots that all of the world would love us if we elected him king. Now it seems that the world doesn't want to sing kumbaya with us anymore.

Guess what, they still hate us.

[nufsed]

It's ironic and telling that we have a president-elect who defeated his primary opponent by running on "immediate pull-out in Iraq." Then he defeated an opponent who goaded him into actually going to Iraq, after which he changed his position. The peacniks still vote for him after he basically adopted Hillary's position.

I wonder if his first major flip-flop will be forgotten.

“Shock has paralyzed them for the moment,” said Steven Clemons, a senior fellow at the New America Foundation who writes The Washington Note, a popular foreign policy blog. “We are in an Obama bubble now. And it’s tough to step out and be first to deflate the bubble.”

How’s it feel to be used Stevie. Maybe Barry can give you a cigarette.

Gotta say, what jumped out at me first was how familiar this sentiment is across the board in presidential politics. I swear I heard these same types of comments regarding GWB!

It is WAY better to watch this play out on the liberals side!

[VOA]

Doves keep the faith as Obama team tilts right (building panic in Leftie Land)

I listened to NPR news a little this morning (opposition research,
of course).
Juan Williams (also of FOX) said there was some unhappiness at
left-wing blogs about Obama's appointments.
The lefties are not rioting yet. But they ain't happy either.

[St. Louis Conservative]

I think Obama has made the calculation that he can throw the anti-war fringe overboard because these kooks will support him no matter what. They’ll never under any circumstances support a Republican, so what does he have to lose here, other than having to endure Code Pinkos infiltrating congressional hearings?

[rexgrossmansonlyfan]

Maybe it’s the holiday and maybe it was because I was up late but anyone else have a slight glimmer of hope this may not be as horrible as we thought?

[mylife]

Over at DU they are eating their own

[NewJerseyJoe]

> "Maybe it doesn’t fit easily in a neatly sculpted box of liberal pacifist and warmonger hawk. Maybe it’s more complex than that."

OR.... maybe Obama DOESN'T HAVE CLUE ONE about what he's doing.

"Some people couldn't get a clue during clue mating season in a field full of horny clues if he smeared his body with clue musk and did the clue mating dance."

[Vaquero]

Obama leans right......!!!

Yeah, right.

Happy Thanksgiving fellow FREEPERS!
God Bless and good fortune to all.
Although it seems bleak, I just put my YOU CAN KEEP THE “CHANGE” PAILN 2012 bumper sticker on the back of my Jeep. This is history rewind. America survived 4 years of carter and 8, years of klinton, if we hunker down we can survive 4 of nobama’s tyranny. Remember, we are Americans and as Conservatives are the last line of defense. THAT LINE MUST HOLD AT ALL COSTS! WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER. NEVER. Say a prayer for the victims of the Mumbai bombings.

[denydenydeny]

Still, it’s clearly a team that tilts to the right of Democratic foreign policy thought.

As it would have to be in order to function at all.
