Liberals & Democrats Critical of Obama

"“At his announcement of an economic team there was no secretary of labor. If you don’t think the labor secretary is on the same level as treasury secretary, that gives me pause,” said Jonathan Tasini, who runs the website workinglife.org. “The president-elect wouldn't be president-elect without labor." " - CBS News

It seems the Savior of the World is drawing ire from many of the people who busted out the vote to get him elected. I think I heard all of this before the election, guess you only hear what you want to hear and believe what you want to believe.

"Obama has reversed pledges to immediately repeal tax cuts for the wealthy and take on Big Oil. He’s hedged his call for a quick drawdown in Iraq. And he’s stocking his White House with anything but stalwarts of the left." - CBS News

Really!!! He isn't doing what he said he would do? hmmmm

"Obama insists he hasn’t abandoned the goals that made him feel to some like a liberal savior. But the left’s bill of particulars against Obama is long, and growing. " - CBS News

"Obama drew rousing applause at campaign events when he vowed to tax the windfall profits of oil companies. As president-elect, Obama says he won’t enact the tax.

Obama’s pledge to repeal the Bush tax cuts and redistribute that money to the middle class made him a hero among Democrats who said the cuts favored the wealthy. But now he’s struck a more cautious stance on rolling back tax cuts for people making over $250,000 a year, signaling he’ll merely let them expire as scheduled at the end of 2010." - CBS News

Well, I think that you can go back and take a long long long look at all of the writings that were done outside of the Mainstream Media before the election even took place and you can see the writing that was on the wall. Candidate Obama was selling what he could sell to become President Obama. He said what he needed to say. The actions that he showed prior to becoming a Candidate showed he wouldn't uphold these promises.

Come on people. I often said that as his Presidency went many people would be saying "if I knew that, I wouldn't have voted for him." Well it seems it is already starting, and he hasn't even been sworn in as the President.
