- Do you think there would have been any stimulus bill?
- Do you think we would be getting out of Afghanistan any sooner?
- Do you think there would be any fewer bailouts of the banks?
- Do you think the DoJ would be doing a better job on torture and trying KSM in NYC?

Be mad at Obama. Hell, I am. But don't give the assholes the keys to the kingdom in your anger.

As a contrary view -- which I don't fully embrace but I think is worth presenting -- what you're recommending is continuing to enable the wimp-think that infests the Democrats in Washington. If these people keep giving away the store and licking Joe F'ing Lieberman's ass and we keep rewarding them for it by re-electing them, how are they ever going to learn?
You're right. There's a fine line between rewarding progressives and jettisoning Blue Dogs who make super-majorities possible.
The choice isn't between Obama and McCain.
The choice is between an Obama who gets a pass from liberals to keep sucking corporate cock, and an Obama under constant pressure from liberals to get liberal legislation done.
How he campaigned, what he said, what he really meant, what he really believes - all of that is irrelevant.
All that matters is What. We. Make. Him. Do.
I agree, we need more pressure on Obama.
Smart pressure, applied intelligently. Not self-destructively (witness the teabaggers.)
