Obama Disillusionment Watch #6: useful idiots discover they've outlived their usefulness

2008-11-21

"JammieWearingFool"

Hope, change and whining. The election is over 16 days now and all the promises of a shiny new progressive world haven't yet materialized. It's one thing to pander to the far left, but when it comes time to actually be president, Barack Obama at least realizes stocking his cabinet with nutroots darlings isn't the way to go.

Look, there are a lot of talented progressives who could be in an Obama cabinet. Joseph Stiglitz is a Nobel Prize-winner in economics and a critic of corporate globalization. He should be Treasury Secretary. Senator Russ Feingold is a champion of civil liberties. He should be Attorney General. . . .

And if Obama really wanted change, if he really wanted to honor progressives who backed him early on and then did the grunt work against McCain, hed nominate Dennis Kucinich as Secretary of State.

That sure would indicate a welcome departure from empire as usual.

But at this point, progressives are getting absolutely nothing from Obama.

No wonder all he's taking from these idiots is their money. Seriously, Dennis Kucinich as Secretary of State? Good grief.

#9 Obama is only doing to limosine liberals what they have been doing to Blacks for many decades: ignore them until election time; then tell them how much you love them.

P.S. I nominate Dennis as Ambassador to Another Planet.

She is a cute on though. Gotta give Dennis props there.

#7 Starting to seem like it is the conservatives who are more likely to give the guy a chance than his own base.

#6 Simply proves some wimin will do anything to escape England. I wonder if he's finally said 'yes' to matching tongue studs.

#5 if the stories, after the primary, on NPR, are to be believed ... Dennis should be secretary of hot necking on stage during breaks.

#1 Denny wouldn't be a bad choice for Secretary of Unicorns and Rainbows, though.
