I hope Obama keeps dissing the Left

Where are the apologies from the Primary Obama supporters who decried my politcs as rightwing, republican sounding, and worse?

I ask because as this march towards an Obama landslide keeps building momentum, Obama is sounding much more like me than his supporters throughout all these months.

His recent statements about:

patriotism
faith-based policies

are just the latest.

Had I wrote diaries expressing the same sentiment and saying that we democrats should move that way, (which would be in line with my policy ideas presented here), the attacks would have/are brutal.

I hope obama continues on this path and pushes the left-wing from this and other internet sites into a small corner.

I love the politics of not going to the DLC meeting, yet promoting policies that everyone here would identify with the DLC for the past month or so.

Obama has shown that he is qualified to become President, because he is willing to do whatever it takes to win and what's in the best interest of the country.  

That was the main reason I supported Hillary Clinton because I thought she would say or do anything to win.

It turned out that she had her limits against Obama and let him off the hook.

And it turned out that the Obama campaign in the primary and now were the camp that wanted to win the most.  They have done shameless things (in the Primary), and appear ready to move to any position necessary to win.

These are all positives to me.
When I trumpeted Hillary's propensity to play hardball, people thought it was odd.

I never thought Obama could/would be this good of a candidate so quickly.  If he was this guy in the Primary's I would have been way more predisposed to support him.  

But then again those here, probably wouldn't have.

There is less talk about "new politics", and "change", and more clear direction of his values.

Obama is a really good conventional politicians riding a wave that he created.

I hope he keeps sticking it to the left, and do what's right for the Democratic Party and this country.

Re: What ??? (none / 0)

are you talking about the diary or the bush reference above?

My diary is about the fact that obama is showing himself to be what almost everyone including me who supported Hillary thought she was:

a good pol

willing to say and do things necessary to win.

That was considered the "old politics", but I hope Obama continues this move towards common sense.

I also find it great that ever since I started supporting him, he's made much more sense.

I now respect Obama for dissing Kos (none / 0)

now that Kos is protesting giving Obama money because he is moving to where 3 of the last 4 elections were won: in the CENTER.


by Lakrosse on Tue Jul 01, 2008 at 07:03:59 PM EST

The CENTER (2.00 / 1)

is NOT the CENTER! It is what used to be the right!

We have swung so far right that the left is the old CENTER.

Got Drama? (none / 0)

Kos is NOT 'protesting giving Obama money',
He said he changed his mind about donating, but feels others can do as they wish.
It's a personal decision, not a protest.

You know, its awesome to read the justifications and the "Well....But......" crap from the condescending Obama jerks who think that he is the second coming of Buddha, Jesus, Santa Claus, and the tooth fairy all rolled into one being of awesomeness.  

I will vote D no matter what.  

Finally we have a winner.  Its great to see the veneer of "New politics" and "Change we can believe in" peeled back and see a kick ass, take no prisoners, in it to win NO MATTER WHAT it takes, no matter who ends up under the bus politician emerge.

And yes, dissing the left who thought this guy was "theirs" is great.

Re: I hope Obama keeps dissing the Left (none / 0)

If I read your diary right, Dems, or at least those more to the left, are unpatriotic atheists. You seem to think patriotism and faith are only the province of the right. Way to buy into their bullshit.

You go on to spread more BS with the implication that Hillary was too nice and Obama and his campaign were really, really dirty. I know this is a common theme among angry Hillary supporters, but that doesn't make it true. I think the word you used was "shameless". I think that word is an appropriate one for this diary.

Al Gore was certainly 'too nice' to George W Bush.  He lost too and look where it got us.
