"Obama has governed as a conservative. So, the question for progressives is, “What do we do now?”

139. Thanks for setting me straight: I too had wondered if BHO had not governed as a conservative, if

Rahm Emanual had not been rudely condescending to the left, if most of junior's RW policies, actions, wars, and even appointees had not been continued, and if BHO had not selected key members of the Catfood Commission known to be of a very conservative persuasion and hating social security. (Even if the Catfood Commission were not more about eviscerating social security than putting the nation on a sound fiscal footing through fair, reasonable, and equitable tax policies). What a fool I was, but thanks to you, I'm learning, even if slowly. PS Part of my fallacious thinking stems from the conviction that almost everything government does for the exclusive benefit of the uber wealthy and large corporations, and consequently to the detriment of we the people, were conservative/right-wing in nature.
