I can’t cite chapter and verse, but isn’t it the case that Obama has tacitly adopted a number of Bush policies, especially in foreign affairs, that the left expected would be dumped?
All I can think of at the moment is the introduction of a lot more troops into Afghanistan. But overall, it does seem that for all his incompetence, Obama is just not a thorougoing anti-Bush — not enough to suit the loons on the left, anyway.
And maybe the media are getting fed up with that disgusting crowd in Congress (they would disgust even the least discerning). If you are going to have a nation that restricts rights, imposes censorship (the “fairness doctrine”), punishes success and imposes economic democracy, can you do all that with a team of morons? No, you need wily people to get every community properly organized. The “progressive” press probably frets that the talent is just not in place yet.
This may be a good time to thank Heaven for governmental incompetence…. If those stumblebums in Congress keep shooting themselves in the foot, we may not have to live under them more than a couple of years. Then we can muck out the stables, put Obama on a leash, and restore common sense.
