Kos Calls Obama a Backstabber
Posted on July 1, 2008
It would be nice if this creates a pattern of unraveling on the left, however most of those zombies are likely to go in the boat of Obama is messiah.

Maybe what looks like cowering to me is really part of that “moving to the center” stuff everyone keeps talking about. But there is a line between “moving to the center” and stabbing your allies in the back out of fear of being criticized. And, of late, he’s been doing a lot of unecessary stabbing, betraying his claims of being a new kind of politician. Not that I ever bought it, but Obama is now clearly not looking much different than every other Democratic politician who has ever turned his or her back on the base in order to prove centrist bona fides. That’s not an indictment, just an observation.
Now I know there’s a contingent around here that things Obama can do no wrong, and he must never be criticized, and if you do, well f*ck you! I respect the sentiment, but will respectfully disagree.
I agree with Allahpundit that in the overall picture this stand on principles won’t make a dimes worth of difference, because most on the left had rather twist logic into pretzels to justify all of Obama’s flip-flops.
