As far as I know, there never has been a Rec List diary at Daily Kos calling for a primary challenge to President Obama.
President Obama did not fight for a public option. Even when it was gaining momentum in the Senate,
he did not twist arms
. In fact, he eventually explained that a public option
wasn't that important to him
. And when he did finally decide to
twist arms
, it was for a bill without a public option.
Dick Cheney has admitted to
sanctioning torture
. Sanctioning torture is, in fact,
a crime
. Investigating isn't about making us feel good, it's about trying to enforce the law.
Obama didn't pass TARP, but he did pass a stimulus plan that appeased Republicans on
tax cuts
, and
didn't do enough
to create jobs. That "pragmatism" stuff
isn't working out so well
.
Whatever his motives, Obama
hasn't allowed disclosure
of Bush era torture,
hasn't allowed release of evidence
of Bush era torture, and has continued Bush policies on
renditions
. He also has been reported to have
authorized assassination
of an
American citizen
, without trial.
Whatever one thinks of pragmatism and purity and ponies, the
polls aren't encouraging
.
Sarah Palin
never will be president
.
