The President needs more progressives in his Administration?
   
I think our job would be easier and our country would be better off, if the President had more progressives around him, to balance the moderates and conservatives that are giving him advice. I think the President needs to hear new voices.

It would be reassuring to know the President was getting other opinions. For an even better balance, he could ask someone like Paul Krugman to offer advice and opinions on economic matters or someone like Robert Reich on labor policies. I do believe our President needs to hear more progressive voices in his Cabinet. I think the truth should be straight out front about it. We need more progressives in our government. We need solutions, not the status quo

1. His appointees are a reflection of his thinking.

5. Yup
   
I've come to realize that Obama is much easier to understand, and predict to some sense, if you realize he's getting the legislation he wants, and is supporting the congressional candidates he likes. His hand isn't being forced on many of these issues. He wants to fight a war in Afghanistan, he wants folks like Spector in the Senate, he likes Lincoln, he wants centrist legislation that avoids the most progressive features. He wants mandates and cadillac taxes and doesn't really care about single payer or public options. Oh, and he is extremely uncomfortable with Gays and Lesbians but feels an need to accomodate them, but only as much as necessary.

The stoooooopidity is strong with these people. Lord Zero has surrounded himself with commie worshipers, and socialist demagogues, but they want him more to the left?  They need to move to Venezuela.

Obama's thinking is supposedly reflected in his appointees and that proves he's too far to the right?

Um-m-m-m...

...how come these idiots howl like cats caught in a bear trap everytime we try to out a Van Jones or a Cass Sustein as being too Marxist?

Sounds like Laelth has been pushing the "center-right Obama" crap again, or they're pushing it on her, or maybe they're just mainlining the shit.

15. It was scary how quickly we started seeing people
 
rationalize the appointment of people with neo-con credentials here even within days of Obama taking office.

We had clear signs from the very beginning that Obama was swinging hard right from day-one, and all we heard, like a mantra, was that we weren't allowed to judge anything until he had been in office for at least a year... No, at least 2 years... No, at least a full term.

Personally I'll nominate Freidman, Hayek (not Selma) and Mises for the new voices Obama should hear.

28. More important than the Liberal vs Conservative ...

 ...is the Right vs Wrong divide.
Most of the people that Obama has chosen to put in powerful positions have been
historically and demonstrably WRONG on almost every issue they have ever stood for.

He's just 1 gulag and a handful of dead bodies short of his quota. My God what do those people expect? Obamacare with it's healthcare rationing and death panels hasn't even kicked in yet.

I have posted it here before, and I shall (must) post it here again:

The VWRC's Chem Trail Spraying molecular engineered "Delusional Denial Paranoia" additive Black-Ops program has been a resounding success!

There is no way in hell that *ANY* human being in their right mind could state and BELIEVE such cow manure.

Please be advised - the VRWC cannot continue with this level of success without YOUR timely payment of your group dues.
