Thanks NormsRevenge.
The group of 150 liberal activists, authors, and academics -- including Code Pink's co-founder Medea Benjamin and author Daniel Ellsberg -- Tuesday released a petition announcing early opposition to Obama's re-nomination by Democrats. Many of the names included are Greens and indies, not necessarily Democrats themselves, but they said they intend to "actively seek to impede" his policies on the war in Afghanistan and Iraq as the campaign goes forward.
They also intend to actively support his candidacy and reelection after he runs through the primaries unopposed (although Kucinich might mount a candidacy). This latest move is mere grandstanding. They have no power or influence, and never even bothered to show up to protest the Demwit-dominated congress' continued support for the WoT these past four years. IOW, they are transparent liars, they have no credibility with other leftists, they have no dog in the hunt (they don't run for office themselves), and the MSM is in the bag for Obama to such an extent that, if disgruntled Obama supporters capped some of them, there'd be next to no coverage of the event or whatever made-up pagan burial rites followed.

Dennis "The Menace" Kucinich is to Democrats what Ron Paul is to Republicans... and vice versa.
