Having core values does not make me a member of some leftist tea party. I have not changed my stance since I joined DU in 2001. Never. Not once. Even when being a good Democrat required doing a weaving snake dance to avoid being bitten these past 4 years.
I backed Obama, and I heard him make promises. I would not have voted for him otherwise. He promised to protect the middle class. And I expect him to honor that promise. Do you believe he is no different than Etch-A-Sketch Mitt and thus free to say whatever it takes to win votes without having any obligation to honor his word?
