Centrally Weak

So Obama showed weakness by caving to right-wing bullying taunts (thrilling our political foes), disrespected his base, gave Fox a propaganda victory, exposed his campaign as a bunch of liars who promised something their candidate was clearly incapable of delivering, and defended the Democratic spinelessness that gave us the most ridiculous Supreme Court in generations.

I won't pretend to guess whether this helps him in Indiana or not. It may or it may not. And since I've never put Obama on a pedestal, this doesn't knock him down. What this does demonstrate, and quite clearly so, is that Obama is quite willing to score cheap political points at the expense of his base, regardless how much it might embolden the very same people that are working to demonize him to the American people. - Markos Moulitsas Zúniga

This is the problem I've had with Obama from the very beginning. That, and the health insurance issue.

The Chimp in the Oval Office is at less than 30% approval rating. Obama does NOT need "conservative" support in any fashion. We do not need to compromise, or work in a "bi-partisan" way. We do not need to fear Faux.

Obama's approach may change after winning the general election.. but somehow I doubt it.

This really bothers me.
