Leftists: "Obama's problem is he's not liberal enough!"
I'm starting to see more and more editorials and comments by libs in the MSM that accuse the America-hating socialist in the White House of not being liberal enough.
Yes, you read that right. They say he's been too cautious. NYT columnist Paul Krugman described Obama as "centrist, moderate." And my favorite: the Left claims he's been too eager to compromise with Republicans on key points. If only he'd get tough with those stupid right-wingers! they lament.
Was Obamacare too cautious? I guess some leftists think so, but the rest of us? Last I heard, likely voters were running two to one against it, and for repeal.
It won zero Republican votes in the House, so if Obama was compromising during that battle, he's as bad at compromise as he is at speaking without a Teleprompter.
On the debt-limit crisis, Republicans in the House passed a bill that gave Obama virtually everything he wanted, and before it could be tabled in the senate Obama announced that because it didn't contain higher taxes he planned to veto it even if the senate passed it. Of course senate Dems weren't willing to let their leader take the heat for doing that, so not enough votes were available to reverse senate leader Reid's tabling order.
In other words, Obama not only didn't compromise, he threatened a veto if he didn't get 100 percent of the terms he wanted.
And yet amazingly, the Left comes up with this "He's too eager to compromise" crap.
So the question is, do the morons on the Left really believe this crap, or are they deliberately lying to win a larger goal? My money's on the second choice, because by portraying Obama as too cautious, too centrist and too eager to compromise, the Left immunizes him against charges of simply being a terrible leader.
