"It's time to strip the Obama sticker off my car. "
Tom Hayden, The NationIt's time to strip the Obama sticker off my car. Obama's escalation in Afghanistan is the last in a string of disappointments. His flip-flopping acceptance of the military coup in Honduras has squandered the trust of Latin America. His Wall Street bailout leaves the poor, the unemployed, minorities and college students on their own. And now comes the Afghanistan-Pakistan decision to escalate the stalemate, which risks his domestic agenda, his Democratic base, and possibly even his presidency.... And so, iconic Leftist Tom Hayden (the former husband of Jane Fonda) breaks with the "right deviationist" Obama over a matter of principle. If Obama is going to continue the Bush-neocon war of aggression in Afghanistan, well, he'll have to do it without Tom Hayden's support. Tom will be out there working to replace the Obama regime with real progressives! To the barricades! Destroy the deviationists! Revolution Now, man! ...To be clear: I'll support Obama down the road against Sarah Palin, Lou Dobbs or any of the pitchfork carriers for the pre-Obama era. Oh. Never mind. But no bumper sticker until the withdrawal strategy is fully carried out.... Yeah, Tom, no bumper sticker. That'll show him! Posted by: Mike 2009-12-03 |
