Why Is Obama Leaving The Grass Roots On The Sidelines?

"not as liberal as he was being painted"?  

Obama's not any kind of a liberal or progressiv­e.

Obama is a DINO - A Democrat-I­n-Name-Onl­y.  Publicly he was sold as a centrist, but the political operatives­' whisper campaign was that he was a progressiv­e who had to vote as he did on the FISA bill in July 2008 to fooI the Independen­ts into believing he was a centrist.

Last week in the NYT -- "Privately, Obama describes himself as a Blue Dog Democrat."


Blue Dog Democrat = REPUBLICAN

The proof is in the pudding.  His actions.   If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, changing its name to 'bee' isn't going to get you any honey.  There's nothing centrist about Obama.  He spins the legislatio­n he's gotten passed as centrist, but it's not.  All you have to do is read it.  It's thoroughly pro-corpor­ate Republican­.
