The NYT Not Happy w/ Sen. Obama
July 4th, 2008 at 09:29pm Geoff
When you’re a liberal Democrat such as Sen. Obama and the New York Times editorial page is mad at you there can only be one reason: you’ve impermissibly taken a step away from liberal heterodoxy. Well that is where we are now, with the editors at the Grey Lady slamming Sen. Obama a new one for his conspicuous changes of heart over the past few weeks.
Apparently conservatives aren’t the only ones to notice Sen. Obama’s flips, which have ranged from blatant promise-breaking to backtracking away from some of his wayward tenets of liberal naivete. Could it be that the left is finally having the gauze removed from its eyes and is realizing that the Obama mystique of a new politics and “hope” and “change” is just that, a mystique? Maybe.
Another question: if this country really has moved to the left to such a degree as so many on the left hopefully claim it has then why does Sen. Obama feel the need to tack so much to the right now that he has won the Democratic nomination?

Where did John McCraps get his funny money to gamble with anyway? Doesn’t he have a modest income; how does one afford gambling often, several thousand per engagement? Cindy play money?? Is he on an allowance???
