Reply #119: What has Cornell done while sitting around, exactly?

[FrenchieCat]

and why are you calling people that disagree with your premise that Cornell West is correct in his opinionated pronouncement.... "Centrists"?

I don't see myself calling you names simply due to some of your opinions.

I agree with some of what Mr. West has stated about a lot of things over the years....
but that doesn't make him my master of all thoughts.

I don't think he is being fair in this case, because he refuses to acknowledge any limitation that Pres. Obama has, and includes only one sentence in where he takes responsibility for his own action
in that perhaps he projected all of his "wants" since Bush swore the oath (twice) to get done pronto...onto Barack Obama...and then got "disappointed quicker than quick" at every turn that
wasn't a turn that he fully agreed with....and he did all of this without making the honest assessement that a country that would have a President like Bush for 8 fucking years,
is not the same country that would allow positive change to take place with amazing speed.

If it was up to Cornel West, Banks would have been nationalized, the Dow would have remained at 7000,
unemployment would be 15% just for college grads, the Deficit would be twice as high, and Barack Obama being called a socialist and a radical would be totally accurate, and the "Centrists" that you so look down on but determine election results would have Barack Obama ready to do an LBJ re-election campaign.
