[Peace-discuss] Obama apologists

[David Green]

It's a source of amazement that some on the left continue to accept Obama's 
"good intentions" at face value, or make excuses for him:

"Obama, the person, is not relevant to me. Even the most radical person in the 
White House would not be able to move an agenda without some fundamental reform 
of the political system, or an active people’s movement ready to beat back the 
Right and the plutocrats, as well as to hold its leader accountable. Nothing 
like that now, or in the near future."

"Two years after his spectacular electoral victory, President Obama and the 
Democrats face a rout in the U.S. polls in early November. Indeed, Obama and his 
party are like a rabbit on the railroad track that is hypnotized by the light of 
an oncoming train. Whereas Obama seemed to do all the right things in his quest 
for the presidency, he seemed to make all the wrong moves as chief executive."
