30. Has too times ten!

[liberalmuse]

13. I'm pretty god damned left...

and he hasn't lost me. The reactionary, cojoneless, titty ass whiney baby left has lost me, though. I won't give another dime to DU as long as this nonsense I've seen posted here of late - knee jerk Obama bashing - is allowed to continue unabated. Too many liberals are disloyal and are ready to jump Obama's shit over every stupid hint of a rumor. It's really been enlightening to watch, but now it is clear why the left is truly, completely fucked.

20. HE HAS LOST A LOT OF HIS BASE

if you don't know that you are very INSULATED

27. "titty ass whiney baby left" - what sparkling, inclusionary repartee

[Kalun D]

28. Then Your not paying attention

Obama is a DLC corporatist, he's no more left than the man in the moon.

Obama is all working man talk, and all corporate puppet walk.

He's had a year, and a near super majority in congress for most of that year. Bush got more done with a 50 50 senate. (I take that back, Obama got everything he wanted, it's just not what he said he wanted when he was elected)

Is $BILLIONS for crooked bankers, crooked health care, and crooked defense industries "hint of rumors"?

Tell me what he's done for progressives and I'll counter you with what he's done for the corporate fascists that sponsor his fictional "We Are Change" TV show that you think is real.

Go ahead, I'll let you have first swing.

29. No, he hasn't

Been left all my life. He hasn't lost me. It's presumptuous of you to speak for everyone.

[Zoeisright]

2. He's lost me.

I'm very progressive. And very disappointed in him. I knew he wasn't liberal enough for me, but he's not even center-left. He's moving more and more to the right.

9. Because we had our hopes up -- he didn't sound that much like a centrist

during the campaign.

[FreakinDJ]

11. Welcome to DU

[jonnyblitz]

6. he never had me though I didn't think he was as bad as he

appears to be now.

[emilyg]

17. Ditto

[TorchTheWitch]

3. he abandoned the left

[LWolf]

19. +1

[Raine]

26. +2 nt

[Fumesucker]

7. Speeches ain't gonna cut it..

What is needed is actions, not words.

[Codeine]

8. He hasn't lost us all. nt

[gateley]

12. He can always rectify some of the actions he has - or hasn't - taken. nt

[underpants]

14. The left aren't aware that having anyone in there other than them affords them

we do tend to be a fickle bunch

[gulliver]

15. No, but the left may have lost Obama...and everything else.

When I see the "Real Progressives" (tm) talk about Obama losing them I get a picture in my mind of a scuba diver cutting his air hose and thinking the air tanks are going to miss him.

[Individualist]

16. Pretty speeches are worthless. Actions are what matter.

[emilyg]

18. Shout it baby.

[donheld]

22. Obama doesn't give a shit about The Left

:grr:

[Jimmy Gunner]

23. What 'Left'?

Obama never had anyone who was actually on the left. Maybe he's lost the squishy liberal middle but here on the left we knew who he was from day one.

Can't lose what you don't have.

24. As a life long The Left, I'm very concerned.
