The Nutroots Chronicles, Chapter 46,908

Another prominent blogger feels betrayed because Obama is exactly what people knowledgeable about him have always known. It's pretty sad when people have to take off the rose-colored glasses to see the truth Obama is nothing but a neoliberal and arguably not a Democrat, either:

It's an effective tactic to play on liberal guilt, arguing "don't you want to save all those poor people who are going to die?" But the fact remains that we the people handed this President and this Congress control of the White House, the US House of Representatives, and filibuster-proof control of the US Senate. We handed them a GOP that was in tatters, and a populace that desperately wanted change. And they blew it. They gave us weakness and cowardice and fear in return. The President went back on his promises from almost day one, and then stayed out of the entire debate until - well - he's still not really involved in the debate, other than to occasionally have his staff secretly try undercut his own campaign promises.

It's not a success when you could have had an A, and instead get a D+, strive for a D+, and then have the nerve to say "look mom!" It's really getting tiring hearing Democrats suggest that because their bill does more than George Bush would have done, but otherwise they've gutted their most important campaign promises, we should suck it up and be happy. I voted for change, not pennies

Well, if you and the other cheerleaders in the nutroots hadn't bought into the media hype of the campaign, you'd have known the truth about him. Now it's too late, and yours truly is very afraid we are going to see a rerun of 1994 next year.
