Two things, I think, are clear. First, liberals knew what kind of candidate they had and what sort of president they’d get in Obama. He hasn’t really disappointed. Conservatives have painted him as a socialist waging class warfare against the rich. In reality, he’s a centrist. His desire for partisanship, whatever his motives, have led him down that path. Second, Ralph Nader doesn’t pull his punches. Love him or hate him, he doesn’t hold back when something is on his mind. Recently, in the wake of Obama’s Nobel Prize, Nader referred to the President as a frightened man. See for yourself. But, honestly, for actual liberals, we’re all (hopelessly) waiting for Obama to take advantage of the supermajority and start delivering on his promise(s) for change.
Democracy is a form of government that substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few. - George Bernard Shaw
