[Obama] has left wide swaths of the Democratic Party uncertain of his core beliefs.
[...]
By declining to speak clearly and often about his larger philosophy — and insisting that his actions are guided not by ideology but a results-oriented “pragmatism” — he has bred confusion and disappointment among his allies, and left his agenda and motives vulnerable to distortion by his enemies.
What agenda? It appears he's mainly just floating around up there in the big white house, trying not to do something that would make his motives clear.
By contrast, Reich said, Republicans have stuck with what he views as a wrong-but-consistent message about how Obama’s agenda is simply too big: “They’re connecting the dots in a way that has hurt the administration and harms Democrats. Obama needs to connect the dots in a way that explains to the public what he’s done and where’s he’s taking the nation.”
Please. We're all ears.
Matt Bennett, with the centrist group Third Way, expressed sympathy.[...] “So it’s the blogosphere. It is the cable guys and others out there who feel he has betrayed them, notwithstanding the fact that he has done pretty much what he said he would do on most things.”
Pretty much on most things will not put the country on a positive path, nor will it get him a second term.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
