Reply #14: Broad and Inclusive [View All]

[MessiahRp]

As long as it doesn't include anyone from the left. Right?

So we're supposed to shut up and not state our disagreements with Obama's choices? It seems you didn't listen to the man ONCE on the campaign trail. He wants and expects there to be dissent. He wants us to hold him accountable.

Our founding fathers, most notably Jefferson, thought it most patriotic to dissent if we disagree. It was everyone's role as a good citizen in a REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY to do so.

I have no doubts Obama will be a good President, but so far the DLC/Corporate Democrats are running up the score in a shut out against any liberals... and if all he's going to appoint are people from the Center-Right or the Right, that does not represent the "broad, inclusive" administration that we believed he would have going in.

The left has a right, especially after the last 30 years to ask, "Who cares about us?". The center and the right have had a completely unbalanced run of it the past 30 years and we have a right to wonder when Mr. Obama will choose to include us in the mix as well.
