Imagine that...
People, can we stop acting surprised now? Obama is not a progressive in any sense of the word, and certainly not in regards to foreign policy and national security. The Patriot Act isn't going anywhere for a very long time.
Yup. 2008 was the best opportunity to elect a progressive in 32 years, and it was wasted on some useless moderate hero. Obama was a major mistake. Not that the other top-tier primary candidates were any better. Carter was a conservative Democrat challenged from the left by Ted Kennedy, when he was President, and now he'd be too liberal to get the nomination. American politics is garbage.
