More and more whispers among my leftie friends about Obama. But hey, at least he's better than Bush. Isn't that damning with faint praise?

Y'know Pete...there's more to it than that. Back during the '08 primaries I was telling anybody who would listen that Obama was no reformer...nobody was much interested. Not even you right wingers because my basis didn't include Rev. Wright or Bill Ayers as part of my analysis. So there were whispers then, and whispers when he began backing down and trying to negotiate with the GOP when you knew they were just going to fuck him and not even give him the courtesy of a reach around. When he didn't have us out of Iraq when he said he would we were whispering. He's still got us in Afghanistan, we're still whispering. He wouldn't stop the feds from busting legal medical marijuana vendors and cancer patients...more whispering. There wasn't a single bankster indicted by the DOJ...even more whispering.
So pete...the more and more whispering is nothing new. (As opposed to you guys sucking George Bush's ass no matter what abominable shit he pulled for 8 years.)
But there's more to it because it doesn't matter which vote whore from which party is in the office, pete. The only thing that matters to a lot of us is the despicable base that the GOP runs on year after year...particularly the social issues. So we're whispering about Obama, and we'll be whispering about Hillary or whoever we get next time...but they won't be sticking their noses into women's reproductive organs...they won't be trying to shut down embryonic stem cell research...they won't be trying to have Genesis taught in public school science class...they won't be fighting gay adoption...they won't be pandering to teabagger idiots...the list goes on and on. I won't be voting for any Republican politician until something changes drastically with the GOP.
Whispering about disappointments in Obama means pretty much nothing to me.
