Remember when Obama was going to singlehandedly fix everything that was wrong with America, with socialism? And everyone would feel a great awakening of consciousness, and all our old hatreds would vanish, and we'd all become One in a vast field of organic fair-trade ironic mustaches? That didn't happen, but at least the National Labor Relations Board is finally
Re: your third graf. I was never able to entirely forgive Teddy for torpedoing Carter's chance at re-election. Man, can you imagine a world without Reagan?
As you may recall, I disagree with you from time to time about President Obama. I suspect that this may be because that my expectations of his "liberalism" may have been lower than yours were back in 2008. In the present instance, I disagree vehemently with both sentences in your final paragraph. I'll agree that President Obama has turned out to be as much a captive of Wall Street as was President Clinton, but I must point out that it could still be much, much worse. Much. Worse.
Incidentally, I find it quite easy to believe that a McCain or Rmoney appointed NLRB would simply ignore these Walmart "isolated instances".
I voted for President Obama both times, and I have zero regrets, both because I think he is a decent man and because the alternatives were so much worse. I don't, however, think that he should be immunized from criticism from the left, particularly regarding things which -- if done by a Republican President -- would provoke howls of outrage. I'm generally in favor of pragmatic partisan support, but there is a distinction between that and rank hypocrisy.
The eventual point of this remark is that, while I may disagree with you, and sometimes think you go a little over the top, you don't deserve to be called names for expressing your opinion. Of course, this observation may be undercut by the fact that I am a straight white male fucking douchebag (ask anybody I know), but hey.
How about we start with the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act? How about telling the DOJ to stop defending DOMA ? You think any Republican would have supported that?
I knew what I was buying when I pulled the lever twice, because I knew this was the best practical option and I didn't want Walnuts or Thurston Howell III in charge. A protest vote makes you feel good, but it's basically throwing your vote to the candidate you like the least.
