Has Obama Left His Left Flank Exposed?

By Kleinheider Posted on July 8, 2008 at 7:50 am

And, if so, can the Green Party’s Cynthia McKinney exploit this?

Obama, in his quest to appeal to Reagan Republicans and Independents, is gravitating toward a more ‘centrist’ position of late, which is causing serious ire among many of his followers, and those who supported and believed in his pre-General election message. And McKinney, being the shrewed politician she has always been, is set to capitalize on the Obama backlash. Recently issuing the following statement, McKinney’s camp unashamedly challenges progressives/liberals who are disappointed in Obama.

The ‘progressives’ and liberals know the score. Obama has winked at them, saying, “I have to pretend to move to the center, but don’t worry, it is all for show. You (P&L) are may base and I will never leave you. Just give me this.”

Oh wait, that was McCain…. my bad.

ACK -

Sure Obama is vulnerable to the left - but not by the lunatic from Georgia.

Cheers,
