Pathetic

Commentary By Ron Beasley

While I'm upset that Obama turned out to be a Clintonesque corporatist and slave to the military industrial complex his cowardice upsets me more.  Will Bunch agrees:

There used to be a word in places like Georgia for convicting people
without due process and then stringing them up. It was called a
lynching, and over the course of the day it's become increasingly clear
that, in a political sense, that's what happened here.

It's hard to say here what is more pathetic about the Obama
administration right now: Their rank cowardice or their political
stupidity. The political stupidity comes from a supposedly
change-minded White House worrying so much about the reactions of 15-20
million Beck-Limbaugh-Drudge fans who wouldn't vote for Obama if he rang
their doorbell with the severed head of Osama bin Laden in one hand and
a federal tax refund for $1 million in the other. Look, the real fight
come Election Day is not over them but the less-politically obsessed in
the middle -- most of these folks could care less about Shirley Sherrod
but they do care whether their commander-in-chief looks strong, or
appears weak. And to hijack the old cliche, how will the White House
stand up to our real enemies when its knees buckle at the mere mention
of Glenn Beck or Andrew Breitbart?

Bunch is right, why should the Obama administration care what FOX, Beck or Breitbart says?  None of their knuckle dragging cultists would ever vote for a Democrat anyway.  The Shirley Sherrod incident is the most pathetic action of the Obama administration.

Great RJ Matson cartoon over at TMV.
