1. He's articulate, good, decent

and a "puppet" from Kansas who "misled" West.

:rofl:

2. Wonder who's done the changing? Cornel West in 2007/11 or Candidate Obama vs President Obama?

7. No it ain't. It's a stupid question.

Might as well ask, who's life changed more.

3. I love his energy but feel sorry for Professor West.

He was never granted the access to and influence over the President...that he feels he deserved. Delusions of grandeur burned out in a flash... And so his attacks get more and more desperately loopy. I hope he finds peace.

6. Get a grip.

I suggest you re-consider who is throwing whom under the bus.

Sorry if my words offend ... but I have zero patience for fantasy-based, counter-productive rantings such as served up by West. The "very people" are who will be working hard to get Obama *re-election* in 2012, and avoid the unthinkable alternative. If that's not you, so be it. But don't blame others for your own complacency.

8. Exactly. Who's throwing who under the bus?

Looks like West is doing the throwing. West is stuck in the old paradigm and is desperately searching for meaningfulness post-Obama.

10. Cute.

After talking a mighty game about political principle, you're actually an advocate of "resistance is futile" GROUPTHINK. Ack...

[ZombieHorde]

11. What are you basing these accusations on?

Are you sure you are using your critical thinking skills here?

[upi402]

12. not so

he dislikes obama's policies and actions/inactions. just like most real democrats.

[jefferson_dem]

13. Um...West is not a Democrat, "real" or not.

And Democrats, "real" or not (based on your wacky, narrow-minded purity tests), approve of Obama's policies to the tune of 80%+. Sorry...

14. and we're screwed into the dirt why???

snark much?
