is not too happy Obama, she wants you to say I'm a far left liberal and proud. Come on BO, "you can do it". :103631605

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
So why start playing to the political fence sitters -- staking out newly nuanced positions on FISA, gun control laws, expansion of the death penalty, and NAFTA?

In an interview with Nina Easton in Fortune Magazine, Obama was asked about having called NAFTA "a big mistake" and "devastating." Obama's reply: "Sometimes during campaigns the rhetoric gets overheated and amplified."


Overheated? So when he was campaigning in the Midwest, many parts of which have been, yes, devastated by economic changes since the passage of NAFTA, and he pledged to make use of a six-month opt-out clause in the trade agreement, that was "overheated?" Or was that one "amplified?"


Because if that's the case, it would be helpful going forward if Obama would let us know which of his powerful rhetoric is "overheated" and/or "amplified," so voters will know not to get their hopes too high.

You have your marching orders boyz, don't settle for this move to the center, tell BO it's unacceptable. If you want, I'll even draft the letter for you, seriously.

Do you think she knows the story about Ned LaMont v Joe Leiberman? :think2:

Clinton was a conservative democrat and had a republican congress counterbalancing

Obama will not. If youre a reasonable democrat you didnt appreciate Jimmy Carter and thats what youve got

I concur, Bubba actually ran like a conservative. I don't think a northern liberal's liberal can win, see Kerry, Dukakis, Mondale & McGovern.

However, Arianna Huff & Puff feels differently.

They were running against much stronger candidates back then that actually had the backing of their own party..McCain is neither a strong candidate or is 100% backed by his own party...The only place I've seen him supported is in this forum. Plus this isn't Mondale 25 years ago, this is Obama now..This country and the world has changed drastically since then. And most notably the last 8 years. Unfortuantly for most people, for the worst.

Sooners said it best ...

All Obama has to do is ask the following:

ARE YOU BETTER OFF TODAY THAN YOU WERE WHEN CLINTON LEFT OFFICE?

Hey boys, tell it to Obama, he's the one running from his roots.

I want him to run on his northern liberal's liberal platform.

Like I said, tell him you object.

Tax receipts have a long way to fall from Bush's record highs.

Despite the lefts cries...the defecit burden has been much lower under Bush than Clinton.
