jerseyfabulousObama denies rightward shift.
Um, Candidate Obama? You're not a progressive. No, really, you're not. Stop trying to claim you are. You are, at best, a centrist. And I have been listening. In the primaries, you sold yourself as a progressive, and now the actual progressives are pissed off because you're really not. Some of the people you sold on "hope" and "change" are starting to realize the would-be new boss is the same as the old boss. Second, the "disagreement" on FISA? That's not small potatoes. That's not a spat about policy. That's do you believe in the Consitution and rule of law, Y/N? There is no compromise on that one.
The people on the left calling you on this stuff have been paying attention. That's why they're noticing what's going on. You just may not have as solid a base as you think you have. I'm part of that. There is no way in merry hell I'm voting for someone who won't stand up for the Constitution. Wait, let me guess...you've got more important things to do than be in the Senate today?
