As a member in good standing of the "professional left," I respectfully disagree. Hamsher and Alterman are right, but they're picking the wrong issues.
And I'm not on drugs. I'll take a piss test to prove it.
Yes, President Obama isn't perfect. Yes, he should just close Gitmo already. Yes, it would be great if he'd act on his campaign promise of more transparency in government. But c'mon, people, he's not another George W. Bush. A quick comparison of their administrations will show this. Criticize the guy, sure, but let's not pretend it's still 2005, hear?
