A Black Liberal President Elect Obama and Hillary as Sec. of State .... Oh my!

[Botany]

Must really suck being a right winger right now.

1. PE Obama is not a Liberal.

He just looks like one in a country with NO Left-Wing.

3. K & R this response

n/t

4. to fine tune a bit, there is a left wing but it is unrepresented

[patrice]

10. Bernie Sanders? Dennis Kucinich? Russ Feingold?, Barbara Boxer?

With the exception of Kucinich, aren't these folks more Center Left?

Who is there to represent the Left nationally? Is there someone as yet unknown, with the credentials?

9. You beat me to it.

"Liberal" and "Obama" cannot possibly be used in the same sentence with a straight face. EVERY single cabinet post has been filled by pro-war corporate whores. Color me sick to my stomach.

2. they are surely cutting their

veins as we type. They are proably thinking the "end of times" is really really near...
lol! I love it!

5. I don't think he can be called "liberal"

unless you are comparing him to someone even more conservative.

6. Hopefully they have a good supply of these.

7. Yep. Phrase read most often on FR: ...

We're screwn!

8. Well, it was their turn!

Thanksgiving Cheer From Obama
He's assembled a first-rate economic team.

12. Why would they

be down?

Obama has capitulated to them in just about every way possible. And pssssst, he is not a "liberal." I know 'cause I am one. For example, I would never have kept Gates since I would have cleaned out the pile of shit at The Pentagon since they have been embedded there since Raygun and Bush the first began the holy war on the Constitution.

13. What could Obama/Hilary do to be more liberal?

I sure do wish Obama'd make a strong stand in favor of gay marriage. And I don't like it that I've heard he's thick with medical insurance companies ...

I'll admit that I'm a newer liberal -- so maybe I'm still ignorant of what it really means, huh? I do wish politicians didn't have to "go to bed with" certain lucrative interest-groups (like insurance companies) to get elected.

And maybe they wouldn't have to, if we'd switch over to public-funded campaigns, and make it illegal to use any private funds. I'd be all in favor of that. Do you guys think something like that is what needs to happen, before we can have truly liberal politicians actually getting elected?
