Are there?
I don’t quite understand why progressives would feel punked. Perhaps, I’m just a cynic but I voted for Obama in the primaries, because I thought he was most likely to beat John McCain–not because I thought he was to the left of Hillary Clinton. Obama always struck me as a very talented and cerebral politician, with a left-ish bent. Again, maybe I’m a cynic, but his flip-flops don’t really surprise. Isn’t this what politicians do? – Ta-Nehisi Coates
As any long time reader can tell, I’ve shied away from politics & blogging for some months now. There is no let down, disappointment, shock, what so ever in President Obama’s performance. It is all exactly as expected. Boringly so.
It has me looking forward to doing nothing in 2012.

I’m almost with you on this. I need money, so, like DC, I’ve decided to sell my vote. I figure I can get at least twenty bucks for it.
By all means… sell out, but don’t sell out.
