Welcome to the NFL

Over at They Gave Us A Republic, Perris responded to my "Because the President is Neither King Nor Daddy" post with this excellent question:

how to do?

we went balistic when he had congress aprove telecom immunity, we go balistic when he defends bush's crimes, we went balistic when first he had congress sing off on bush's "economic bailout" which we told everyone was nothing but a gift to the people who caused the problem, then we went balistic when he took office and did it again

we went balistic when he asked lieberman keep his seats on committees, we went balistic each and every time lieberman undermines the democrats, we went balist when we realized obama never wanted the public option, never fought for it, never ever asked lieberman to change his mind on anything progressive in the insurance payoff of the century

so, the question is, how to do yellow dog, what do you think we can do to move obama closer to the center because it seems just about everything he does is to the right, and not a little to the right but way to the right

I answered:

We yelled for a year and didn't get what we wanted so now we quit?

We refuse to recognize that without all our yelling it would have been even worse?

Pissing and moaning about Smirky/Darth was little league; forcing a center-right president and congress to the left is the NFL playoffs.

We keep playing.
