No scary civil rights black liberal he, oh no!

Well, it looks like the DLC brain trust advising Obama has started to finally reveal their Grand Plan to make sure he is able to attract enough essential and necessary Republican votes. First it was trotting out the Social Security Crisis(TM). Now it's attacking http://ezraklein.typepad.com/blog/2007/12/obama-v-krugman.html">Paul Krugman, that noted Liberal Scourge and Enemy of the Vital Center. Why, if Obama keeps this up we can start calling him the Black Joe Lieberman: A Centrist Hero if ever there was one.

Obama is really disappointing to me.

2. He's not an empty suit after all. There's a bag of RNC filth inside.

3. Don't forget pandering to bigots!

But he does it so inspirationally, ya know?

5. Hillary is the DLC hawk of the bunch.

6. I don't see any way Obama attracts Republican votes.

Repukes are so far gone; radical conservative fanaticals. Obama is a mainstream liberal Democratic senator, very much like most Democratic senators. Not exactly the profile of a candidate that Repukes usually go for. A "centrist hero"? That's the first time I've seen that as a description of Obama.

8. Obama obviously has a strong appeal for assholes.

9. Well, that was typical

Criticize someone who happens to be black for some folks around here and the "racism" charge gets trotted out. Soon I'll be called a Nazi.

I supported Obama in his senate bid. I was even a donor. I heard his speech on the floor of the Convention and was exalted, for Gods sake. For all his soaring rhetoric, his voting record has clearly moved him to the center-right of the party. He talks the progressive-talk but doesn't walk the walk. He starts up with the Social Security Crisis talk, he attacks the most progressive voice (Krugman) we have out there.

All his supporters ever want to talk about is what he says, never about what he does.

oh, I don't like Hillary, either. I suppose that makes me a sexist.
