Liberal: Obama Makes Bill Clinton Look Like A Paragon And Virtue

Ted Rall has some buyer’s remorse:

MIAMI — We expected broken promises. But the gap between the soaring expectations that accompanied Barack Obama’s inauguration and his wretched performance is the broadest such chasm in recent historical memory. This guy makes Bill Clinton look like a paragon of integrity and follow-through.
From health care to torture to the economy to war, Obama has reneged on pledges real and implied. So timid and so owned is he that he trembles in fear of offending, of all things, the government of Turkey. Obama has officially reneged on his campaign promise to acknowledge the Armenian genocide. When a president doesn’t have the nerve to annoy the Turks, why does he bother to show up for work in the morning?
Obama is useless. Worse than that, he’s dangerous. Which is why, if he has any patriotism left after the thousands of meetings he has sat through with corporate contributors, blood-sucking lobbyists and corrupt politicians, he ought to step down now — before he drags us further into the abyss.

While I couldn’t disagree more with Mr. Rall’s politics, he’s absolutely right when he calls Obama out on broken campaign promises and an utter paucity of “hope and change.”
I expect that Rall, long a darling among liberal circles for his rude invective and crudely-drawn editorial cartoons aimed at President Bush, will be thrown under the bus by the Obama faithful any moment now. Because unfortunately, as wrong-headed as Rall might be, he’s more honest to his principles than most liberals are.

    Far left liberals like myself will never be happy with the democrats. Obama is a democrat.

    Liar. Obama farts in your face and you say ‘roses’.

    The lying Obama voter who hates America:

    No, seriously, I HATE this country and think it should disappear. No more united states. It’s the cause of most of the world’s problems. It’s like a cancer.

    Just split it up and let it lose its power. Done. Finished.

    DINO on January 13, 2009

    …is pawning off his sour grapes onto others.

  • ellinas

    Proof! Surely you must know by now that Rall is a clown, too fat, and in the employ of Halliburton!
    As such, no self respecting liberal pays any attention to this undercover conservative plant. /sarcasm.

    Trials for bush administration officials. Indictments. Revenge.

    You’re a child.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    You people can’t stomach the idea of a president whose ideology isn’t like yours, who can’t STFU about your sour grapes, who imagine all kinds of extremist policies coming from this very moderate leader, who take no responsibility for your party’s fuck-ups, who think that opposition means threats and violence and far right nuttiness, and I’M the child?

    You people are dangerous. Paranoia and greed have driven you over the edge. You can’t be reasoned with and refuse to develop an intellect or any semblance of rationality.

    You really need to step back and see what you’ve become.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    He is far better than any republican but he’s not as liberal as I would like. No one could be. After 30 years of conservatism, the people are not capable of accepting extreme liberalism. Only deep, sustained economic pain can do that.

    Unfortunately, Obama’s success in keeping us from total collapse limits the extent of his power to implement true liberal reforms.

    Personally, I would like to see hearings, purges and trials for the crooks of the financial sector with many being led from Congressional chambers in shackles. Trials for bush administration officials. Indictments. Revenge.

    That’s unlikely.

  • sayanything-4625

    Yeah, well then you have nothing to bitch about so STFU.

    Hope and “CHANGE” so you get to STFU.

  • Kay

    I’ve already read about a moderate conservative who has buyer’s remorse and expected that–eventually–but Ted Rall?? Interesting.

  • http://insanereindeer.blogspot.com/ Kenny

    who imagine all kinds of extremist policies coming from this very moderate leader,

    Moderate policies like voting against the BAIPA(Born Alive Act), which was voted yes on by Barbara Boxer, and was not opposed by NARAL or NOW. Moderate policies like calling the partial birth abortion ban “obviously unconstitutional”.

    Moderate my ass.

    Ironically, this is the funniest thing Rall has ever produced!
    Expect Hannitized to show up any second and tell us that Rall is a clown, or too fat or in the employ of Halliburton! Heh.

    It’s too bad some people weren’t aborted.

    More like a two-bit third-worlder thug.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    Ok, let’s say he’s a wild-eyed liberal. He was ELECTED in fair election. Your off-the-deep-end opposition is far worse than anything seen under bush. It’s like when Clinton was President. You people didn’t shut up about weird conspiracy theories, paranoid delusions and flat out nuttiness for 8 YEARS.

    Do you act this way in your personal lives? Girl breaks up with you, do you beat her? Other guy gets the job, do you key his car? When you were in high school and the other team won the tournament, did you spread rumors about them? Trip them as they walked up to get their trophies at the awards banquet?

    Do you teach your kids to be such sore loser assholes? Is that how you were raised?

  • sayanything-4625

    How so Hanni? Obama’s basically kept the Bush doctrines intact and even the Democratic Congress has realized that closing GITMO is a non-starter. It seems to me that Bush’s policies were pretty stable considering that we are not getting rid of most of them.

  • http://insanereindeer.blogspot.com/ Kenny

    He’s a hypocritical Obama supporter who hates America and so therefore, he does not apply his own rules to himself.

    They never do. But at the very least I’m not afraid to say that I don’t play by rules that only apply to me.

  • Old Retired Petty Officer

    Having had to serve billy jeff when he became CINC, let’s just say he was a little more believable. Yeah, Right. At least it was only eight months, and then I got to retire. Or more correctly, I got retired in the “Peace Dividend” after Desert Storm.
    A very accurate way to measure the man in the office is check with the Forces. I stopped at the Navy Recruiter’s office one day to get new bumper stickers for my outfit and toolbox and the CPO was looking forward to retiring ASAP.
    If the Armed Forces of The United States do not trust him, odds are no one should.

    Kenny tells the America hating Obama supporter, By your own standards you should shut the hell up.

    Yeah he has pretty much sucked as a president, making misstep after misstep.

    Ouch.

    Even a broken clock…

  • http://www.kenmccracken.blogspot.com/ Ken McCracken

    At least Rall is consistent.

    The only emotion he seems to have is hate.

  • Hannitized

    Bush….not so much.

    Far left liberals like myself will never be happy with the democrats. Obama is a democrat. But they and he are light years better than ANY republican, living or dead. Preferably the latter.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/ likwidshoe

    WOOF – OB 1 has the nation’s support.

    Yeah, well America is “dumb”. That’s what we heard for the last eight years from the left. So of course Obama has the support of the dumb.

    You earned it.

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    Expect Hannitized to show up any second

    Damn, I’m good! Heh.

  • http://insanereindeer.blogspot.com/ Kenny

    Your off-the-deep-end opposition is far worse than anything seen under bush.

    HAHAHAHAHA. RIIIIIIIGHT

    http://michellemalkin.com/category/unhinged/assassination-chic/

    Calls for Bush’s assassination were regular. What about the endless “Bush lied us into war”, provably false nonsense? Oh and let’s not forget liberals claiming Bush blew the levees in New Orleans. Colin Powell and Condeleeza Rice were called house niggers for their support of Bush’s policies.

    The right may not like Obama, but we’re sticking to the issues, well, at least most of us are.

    He was ELECTED in fair election.

    And? Bush was too. Twice. You criticized him endlessly, and still do. By your own standards you should shut the hell up.

    You really need to step back and see what you’ve become.

    Heal thyself, hater.

  • WOOFX

    They still love bill.

  • WOOFX

    OB 1 has the nation’s support.
