The Los Angeles Times has an article today entitled “Obama puts pragmatism over promises.” This refusal to live up to his campaign promises may be positive and just an indication of a truly open mind.
Whether it is universal health care, ending the wars, or stopping torture and the military tribunals at Guantanamo, there sure are a lot of issues now where President Obama has turned his back on the people who supported him.
He is charming, articulate, well educated, and intelligent. But I am beginning to have some big doubts about his strength of character when it comes to standing up to the right wing lunatics. Seeing him walk lock step with the military, his nose squarely up their asses is really rather unattractive.
I sure hope I am wrong about all this.
