and Poker Player"....but, in all my questioning about Obama's "turn around" after his Election the First Time and now The Second Time.....I felt that Tomaksy nailed it as to what had me wondering "Who is Obama ...the man I voted for who ended up not being what I thought I had voted for.

Thomasky's well thought out description of Obama as a "Process Liberal" was a break through in my understanding of who he is and why he's done the laundry list of stuff that Bush did that we hated...but once Obama continued it...we were supposed to fall in line and Praise Him.

If you read the whole article I linked it will give you better perspective than the "Snips" I was limited to by Copyright Law to post here on DU. Taking what I posted out of context because of a "quick read" and maybe "pre-judging" my views might have made you post what you did.

Just read the FKING article...and see what YOU THINK about the read and not your view of ME... I am wanting Obama to Succeed...and that's why Tomasky's article is a good read, and good advice.
