(2,479 posts)Most of us who voted for Obama, twice, thought he'd be more liberal--especially after he no longer had to get reelected again. He's been a sad disappointment, not a leader, a follower, one who reacts to others, worse reacts to the most vicious critics of the right, one who seems oblivious as to how to barter.
Moore is correct, as he's going to end up in the Clinton category, a big disappointment. That said, I get that he's faced a lot of opposition--his failures are rhetorical, and rhetoric is what could have gotten ever MORE Democrats elected, instead of losing seats--well, that, and giving the rich the biggest tax cut ever, in making the Inheritance Tax permanent.
It is a valid, non racial disappointment for me. I don't care what color he is, as he's following the modern neoliberal Democratic patter, which is going to kill us as a country, if it hasn't already.
