An Open Letter to Barack Obama - An Open Letter to Barack Obama [From Noted Liberals]
The Nation ^ | July 30, 2008

Since your historic victory in the primary, there have been troubling signs that you are moving away from the core commitments shared by many who have supported your campaign, toward a more cautious and centrist stance--including, most notably, your vote for the FISA legislation granting telecom companies immunity from prosecution for illegal wiretapping, which angered and dismayed so many of your supporters.

My Dear Fellow Radicals,

Shhhhh, don’t worry, don’t worry! Can’t you recognize my “move the the center” for what it is, a cynical and dishonest pandering movement for the dimwits of “Middle America” just so that I can get elected?

You who know me best certainly know that my entire career as socialist “community organizer” and left-wing pol in Chicago to the US Senate demonstrates a devotion to far-left values.

This current pandering tactic needs to last for only 3 more months, until I can get the doofuses to elect me President.

Warm Regards in Socialism

Barack Hussein Obamanation

The Left's wish list. They're not worried about Obama's flip flops. They understand a candidate on the Left has to fool enough people in the middle to get elected. At the same time, they're making it clear they are holding him to the agenda they want to see him carry out if he wins the White House.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder,
Flying there-under, under the sea!
Everyone loves the king of the sea,
Ever so kind and gentle is he,
Tricks he will do when children appear,
And how they laugh when he’s near!
They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder,
Flying there-under, under the sea!

These are the changes we can believe in. In other areas--such as the use of residual forces and mercenary troops in Iraq, the escalation of the US military presence in

Afghanistan, the resolution of the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the death penalty--your stated positions have consistently varied from the positions held by many of us, the "friends on the left" you addressed in recent remarks. If you win in November, we will work to support your stands when we agree with you and to challenge them when we don't. We look forward to an ongoing and constructive dialogue with you when you are elected President.

They will work to support the Obamessiah. I bet they are the only ones who are working in the Obama administration the rest of us will be unemployed.

If you want to post something like that, do a little formatting work to make it legible and useful. Such as - a real name for each e-mail address. Folks might actually make use of something like that.

Thank me.

It’s still useful. Most of the addresses have the person’s name within.
I posted it as I found it.
Don’t look a gift horse...
