He is standing loyally by his base as he will always do. The problem is that you think that progressive/liberal voters are or were his base. They were not. The ruling class is Obama's base. To him, and the vast majority of other politicians, that base is the only one that matters. <br /><br />Consider Bush and the "Christian Conservative movement" of the early 21st century. They largely got him elected, but as far as advancing his agenda, they were left out to dry (no gay marriage amendment, no prayer in schools federal push, etc) - even the faith-based initiatives largely fed Bush's corporate interests. <br /><br />Having hope for another Republican or Democrat is just as silly as having hope in the last Republican or Democrat. Follow the money - they're all alike regardless of which of those two parties they're aligned with. <br /><br />If you're interested in some real change - change AWAY from corporate fascism - check out the Libertarian Party. A vastly smaller government is the only one that will not be used and abused by the ruling class elites.mdhhttp://www.lpwv.org/noreply@blogger.com
