Depressed Daily Kos: Obama's a 'Reaganite'

December 2nd, 2010 7:52 AM

Our media tells us the Internet is an unreliable source of myths because people call Barack Obama a "socialist." But a quick read of the lefties at the Daily Kos shows a more ridiculous claim: Obama is a Reagan man. The blogger "il128" is clearly distraught:

We all now know that electing Obama in 2008 was a big mistake.  It sure as Hell isn't because he's too liberal now is it?  No, the problem is that he's a Reaganite.  He doesn't care about us, the liberals, he cares about the Republicans.  

It's time to start Hillary's campaign challenge now, isn't it?

Another depressed Kosmonaut is "Raul VB," who thinks that elitism is sinking Obama, but it probably doesn't matter if he's re-elected because America's just off the conservative deep end:

United States political "reality" is so tilted to the far right that Obama's second term would, more than likely, perpetuate the status quo and further erode what's left of the idea that supposedly inspires this nation to exist as a viable state.

Pessimism like this ought to put a little spring in the conservative step.

UPDATE: The Obama-whacking on Daily Kos continued, from the blogger Blue Dragon:

W]e have confused cult of personality with political commitment.  That alone makes Obama a dangerous President.

I have watched the accusations fly.  To critique Obama was to abandon him and worse: to critique him while the rethugs [Republicans] were using race to undermine him, was, itself racist.

I knew it wasn't. Having worked against race for more than forty years of my adult life, I knew the difference between opposing his decisions and policies and racism...

In a crisis time, he is exactly what [radical historian Howard] Zinn called him: A Dangerous President.

Unless, we form a loyal opposition to force him Left (Too bad he dislikes the Left, too bad a lot of kossacks agree with him.)

In reality, we have no viable Left in 21st century America.  

Without a viable Left, we are toast.
