Tonight is a fork in the road.

[MinneapolisMatt]

Will Obama go to the left or to the right? It's obvious he can't go down the center anymore.

I hope he is paying attention.

[WeDidIt]

1. MA already decided which way.

We're headed ot the right.

It's the only choice now.

[Forkboy]

2. "It's the only choice now."

Even if it's wrong?

[WeDidIt]

6. Yep

the Blue state of Massachussets just sent the most rightwing fuck ever to the Senate.

[Forkboy]

8. You're willing to go along with what's wrong because of the action's of one state?

[TheWatcher]

13. Sure. Bootlickers do what Bootlickers do.

Why you're surprised at that, I have no idea.

however, those of us who are sane will not move right.

At all.

[DJ13]

4. You're misreading the voters

But sadly I expect Obama to make the same mistake as it reinforces his desire to be another Bill Clinton mixed with Ronald Reagan.

[WeDidIt]

7. A rightwing nut just got sent to the Senate by MA

The people have spoken.,

They said, move to the right.

[MinneapolisMatt]

5. I disagree.

If liberals were given the time of day (and some results) this most likely would NOT have happened.

[jgraz]

12. Thanks, Rahm. We'll pass.

:puke:

[DebbieCDC]

3. If he runs any further right he'll make McConnell look like a progressive

Obama better turn back to who elected him -- the liberals and progressives. Otherwise the Congress is gone 2010 and Obama will be a one termer losing in 2012.

9. +1000

[Betty Karlson]

14. Two words:

primary challenge

[ChairmanAgnostic]

10. it matches the knife that Rahm stuck in our backs. All that leaves is a spoon.

[scheming daemons]

11. 2/3 of America think he WAS going too far left, based on polls

So he will now track to the center.



What people on DU don't understand is... what Obama's been doing for 12 months is considered "left" by most of America.

[readmoreoften]

16. I'd like to see that poll. And the definition of "left"...

[readmoreoften]

15. Why vote for the pseudo-conservative phony if you can vote for the genuine article?

That's the message of this damn election. If the choice is real conservative or fake conservative, most people will vote for what seems honest. People are getting sick of Democrats because they're acting like Republicans who just lie about their class affiliation.

Of course, the answer is to MOVE TO THE LEFT. But, of course, you can't move to the left without a loss of corporate campaign funding.

17. The fork in the road was the presidential election.........

WTF is wrong with everyone. Obama made his choices and he decided to go with the DLC and lean way right!!! Stabbing the left or as he would say the far left wing!!!

[greatscott15]

18. Not looking good

I'm afraid nothing will get passed now.
