Obama Versus The Left

For whatever it's worth, I totally agree with Michael Moore's comments regarding his interview here with Keith Olbermann. Pres. Obama should stick to his base, and the principles that he originally campaigned on in the first place, and not cave to the far-right. It makes him come across as in-sincere, and provides his enemies (who seem to be many on the radical right) with allot of ammunition for their negative attacks, cynicism, and criticism of him, ironically. And definitely doesn't help the chances for the democrats to continue to hold the house in the fall. Which was the clear mandate that they were givin' from the American people in 2008; And was based (in part) on Obama's original campaign promises, of "change we can believe in"! I also have to be honest, along with most other Progressive Democrats, is that I was completely taken aback, shocked, and very disappointed by Press Secretary Robert Gibbs statements, and not only think he was way out of line, but may have even done some damage to the party itself; And really hope Pres. Obama distances himself in some way from those remarks, which were quite striking, to say the least...
