Reply #83: BECAUSE the 'greatest political force in the Dem party' got smacked down and stayed rolled over

[blm]

while he led the entire Dem party rightward on antigay legislation.

You expect Obama, who hasn't even BECOME president yet, to stand firmer than Bill did with all the power a leader could have AS PRESIDENT but instead rolled over and GAVE IN while LEADING the rest of the party to assuage the right for his entire term and even beyond.

I expect Obama to be further left as president than he is positioning himself now because he doesn't HAVE the luxury of skincolor to be a fiery leftist in this election.
