"Barack Obama pulled a bait-and-switch on us. If it were any other politician, we wouldn't be surprised. Maybe it's our fault, for thinking he was different."
--Matt Taibbi, The Rolling Stone, December 10 2009

Why can't we ever do it with the lights on?

"Like any good progressive, I've gone from admiration to hope to disappointment to anger when it comes to this president. Now I'm fast getting to rage.

--David Michael Green, professor of political science at Hofstra University, OpEdNews December 19, 2009

Liberal blogger isn't puttin' out after Obama dumps him in the stag line and boogies down with moderates

2010-01-04T08:59:00.003-08:00

"Obama spent all year enabling Max Baucus and Olympia Snowe, and he thinks we're supposed to get excited about whatever end result we're about to get, so much so that we're going to fork over money? Well, it might work with some of you guys, but I'm certainly not biting. In fact, this is insulting, betraying a lack of understanding of just how pissed the base is at this so-called reform."
--Markos Moulitsas, Daily Kos, December 9 2009

"As 2009 comes to a close, and with it, the first year of the Obama administration, one big question seems to be hanging over the man who said he had "The Audacity to Hope," and promised his supporters "Change We Can Believe In." That question can be summed up with two simple pictures.

"How did this...

"produce this?"

--Micah Sifry, techPresident.com, December 31 2009

2010-01-02T14:37:00.005-08:00

"The whole Obama phenomenon brings up memories from my distant past: the good-looking guy who talks real good, whose line you don't buy immediately but whose charm is so dazzling that he gradually convinces you that this time it will be different.

"Yeah. Right. Really different.

"One thing I know that we shouldn't do is pretend to ourselves that this man is delivering on what he promised when he first won our hearts."

"We had all hoped Obama would be fundamentally different, as he told us all he was, over and over. But it is now abundantly clear that Obama needs to be a Unitary Executive.

"And what a Unitary Executive needs, they get. We call them a 'king'. And their needs are the only ones that count."

--"DocGonzo" of Daily Kos, December 26 2009

"There is simply no way that a person with even the most minimal levels of intellectual integrity could have objected to these actions during the Bush years yet defend them now that Obama is doing them."
--Glenn Greenwald, Salon, October 26 2009

"The Obama administration makes vague, reassuring noises about constraining executive power and protecting civil liberties, but then merrily adopts whatever appalling policy George W. Bush put in place."
--Julian Sanchez, The Nation, October 19 2009

"The Obama administration has clung for so long to the Bush administration’s expansive claims of national security and executive power that it is in danger of turning President George W. Bush’s cover-up of abuses committed in the name of fighting terrorism into President Barack Obama’s cover-up.

"We have had recent reminders of this dismaying retreat from Mr. Obama’s passionate campaign promises to make a break with Mr. Bush’s abuses of power."
--New York Times editorial, October 25, 2009

"It was thought by many that a President Obama would put a stop to the madness, put an end to the Bush administration’s nightmarish approach to national security. But Mr. Obama has shown no inclination to bring even the worst offenders of the Bush years to account, and seems perfectly willing to move ahead in lockstep with the excessive secrecy and some of the most egregious activities of the Bush era."
--Bob Herbert, NY Times, June 22 2009

"Americans should recoil as one against the idea of preventive detention, imprisoning people indefinitely, for years and perhaps for life, without charge and without giving them an opportunity to demonstrate their innocence.

--Bob Herbert, NY Times, June 22 2009

Liberal journalist pouts: "You said you'd stop hanging with those guys after we got together."

2009-10-25T09:07:00.003-08:00

"Surely President Barack Obama and his advisers don't really think that their feud with Fox News will do anything but enhance the cable network's viewership. A deeper problem is what the flap reveals about Team Obama, which seems to be more comfortable with campaigning than governing.

"Every president needs campaign experts. But every president also needs people who know how to slip off to the private meeting and bring leaders together in ways that also bring the country together. That's the change we're waiting for."
--Clarence Page, Chicago Tribune, Oct 25 2009
