Poll question: Has Obama Totally Rebuffed The Left Half Of The Democratic Party?

Advertisements [?]

Edited on Sat Dec-26-09 05:22 PM by MannyGoldstein

It was pretty clear to me by last February that Obama was settling into triangulation, but his recent denial that he ever campaigned on the public options seems, to me, to be a total and final "up yours" to the Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party. He's telling us that we never existed in his world.

Do you think that, absent some very, very serious pressure, Obama will henceforth have utter disregard for the left-leaning half of the Party, and/or ignore all campaign promises?
