i figure he's nowhere near far enough away from the sucking sound that is conservative language, conservative views. the guy's a moderate---always was, always will be, it seems. he's paying the price for being a moderate.
but this has nothing to do with the imaginary world the right inhabits.

better the slow ride to hell than the fast one? If that isn't being an apologist, nobody will know what is then.

That Obama didn't have a crystal ball while campaigning should come as no surprise. How many presidents had one?
The president needs to compromise as he comes across certain realities. I'm sorry...how is this like Bush?

With Obama now following quite a few of the 'same' actions and policies that Bush had implemented, All of those on the left that castigated the Bush admin for enacting them are now forced to support those very same policies because it seems 'reasonable' or some stupid shit like that. How is that NOT like Bush?
With few exceptions on here, support for Obamas policies are being explained as necessary, yet those of you doing so were totally against them when enacted by the Bush admin. If that's not 'apologizing', again what would be?
