Leftist Pissed at Obama; Cultist Down with it

It will never become full blown Bush Derangement Syndrome but some on the far left are realizing that they were rhetorically punked by Obama.

First from Yahoo news:

President Barack Obama’s Afghanistan proposal is under fire from the liberal base, which is becoming increasingly disappointed in his war policies.

Russ Feingold, the liberal and often defiant Wisconsin senator, said today that that Obama’s plan “could make the situation worse, not better.”

Peace Action, a liberal anti-war organization, is organizing a coalition to petition Congress to oppose Obama’s Afghanistan plan.

“It’s a shame President Obama believes he can pursue the same militaristic strategy as his predecessors and produce a different result,” said Kevin Martin, executive director of Peace Action.

And Win Without War, another anti-war group, also slammed Obama.

“I regret that President Obama, in his desire to protect our nation from a genuine threat, has outlined a policy that will undermine our security, not enhance it,” said Tom Andrews, the organization’s executive director. “In short, the president’s policy is playing into the hands of Al Qaeda and the Taliban by providing them with a cause that unites and strengthens them.”

It’s not just the totally wacked out anti-war hippies. No the probable source of most of Southern Democrat’s talking point drivel is also not happy.

This is from the Daily Kos:

After 60 days of comprehensive reviews and leaks about differences over those reviews within the administration, no surprises have emerged in the new strategy for the “good war” in Afghanistan that President Obama announced today. Not even the slightest hint about when the U.S. troop commitment might end. And not a word about the 550 or more prisoners in the infamous Bagram prison, many of them previously tortured and still held without recourse to legal or humanitarian intervention.

While I think these wackos are dead wrong, I will give them credit for a spoonful of intellectual honesty. Obama played them like his personal bitch and they aren’t happy about it. I say good on them, I’d be pissed too if I was a leftist loon who supported a bunch of empty platitudes and discovered that he was just pissing on my leg the whole time.

And we walked the walked. I criticized President Bush on many occasions and don’t get me started on McCain. If some of you remember my old blog, he was Oxygen Thief of the Week, TWICE. That’s because I am a man of integrity and character secure in my own convictions.

The cult of Obama is not distracted by silly things like conviction.

See the post below and explain to me where Jon Soltz has any conviction or integrity for that matter. Soltz is little more than a malcontent making a living shepherding a cult of malcontents.

As for Southern Democrat’s comment:

I believe I read on the wire today that the US is finally getting smart about Afghan, and is sending in civilians to help these people, not soldiers to kill them. We will finally do what should have been the first tactic and have people trained in well digging, agriculture, medicine, schooling, all sorts of benificial programs that will help to bring the people of Afghanistan out of the hole we drove them into.

That could be the most idiotic statement I have read all year. I don’t necessarily disagree with Obama’s plan but understand something dumbass, this is Bush policy doubled down.
